Kiawah Island Golf Resort

The Promenade essay

What it feels like to stay here

On Kiawah Island, the resort's rental villas sit at two different ends of the barrier island, East Beach and West Beach, each with its own set of resort amenities and its own distinctive personality. Views factor into the choice as much as location: some windows look onto waves lapping the beach, while others open onto maritime forest shading a deck. The villas themselves come in three types, sorted by the level of appointments and amenities each one offers. Renting one of these villas grants access to the resort's interactive pool complexes in Night Heron Park and West Beach Village. Championship golf comes with discounts of up to 25% for resort guests on courses kept in pristine condition. Getting around is handled by complimentary, unlimited door-to-door transport from the villa to any resort-owned venue. The resort will also stock the villa with your favorite groceries before you arrive, and its most popular recreation and nature programs carry guest savings. Beyond the villas, the lodging side of the resort also takes in The Sanctuary, private homes, and The Cottages. Golf spreads across The Ocean Course, Cougar Point, Oak Point, Osprey Point, and Turtle Point, alongside a Golf Learning Center. Only direct bookings with Kiawah Island Golf Resort include full resort access, savings, and priority reservations, advantages the resort says are unavailable through any other rental company on the island.
