Kiawah Island is a barrier island 25 miles south of Charleston and is primarily a private beach and golf community. Named for the native Kiawah Indians, the island was developed into an upscale resort community that's home to The Sanctuary, a AAA Five Diamond luxury hotel overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and five golf courses, including the famed Ocean Course designed by Pete Dye.
With 10 miles of beaches, maritime forests, sand dunes and marshes, Kiawah Island is both a planned community with multi-million dollar homes and a nature preserve. It also offers a variety of accommodations from hotel rooms to rental villas and homes with access to island amenities that will make your beach getaway unforgettable.
