The powerboat-based Dolphin Discovery Tour covers a wide area and highlights the habitat of local bottlenose dolphins while the Full Tide Discovery Tour is a favorite among photographers because it explores some of the more remote islands.Īfternoons are decidedly meant to be spent on the porch.

Midday might find you lounging by the pool or booking a dolphin Cruise to nearby Dafauski Island, accessible only by boat. The leisure Maritime Trail takes you through the Lowcountry forest while the Long Leaf Pine Trail winds through pine uplands. With 32 miles of coastline, this is a perfect place to rent a kayak or canoe…or use that bicycle! Mornings at Palmetto Bluff are best spent on a bike, enjoying the quiet along the miles of trails.
#STAY IN PALMETTO BLUFF PLUS#
Here you can find an ice cream parlor called Melt, plus many of the iconic landmarks that make Palmetto Bluff so memorable including the Chapel, the “old ruins,” the Post Office, the River House and the dock where the Grace is moored. Wilson Village, the charming town square of Palmetto Bluff, is like a page from a small town storybook. Whether you are staying in Wilson Village or in Moreland Village each have their own distinctive feel and each boasts restaurants and activities within walking distance. There are boats that you can rent, that motor around the Inland Waterway, a meandering freshwater estuary that winds throughout the resort and many of its neighborhoods. They’re connected by water, starting along the May River in Wilson Village and then via Cauley’s Creek as it flows into Moreland Village. Palmetto Bluff has two distinctly different town centers - Wilson Village, the charming town center that overlooks the May River to the north and Moreland Village four miles south. Home to an array of flora and fauna, there’s something to be discovered every step or bike pedal along the way. This part of the lowcountry offers jaw dropping vistas, with its expanse of maritime forests, tidal estuaries, winding waterways, and arching oaks draped with Spanish moss. This secluded location, near the coastal South Carolina island getaway of Hilton Head, Palmetto Bluff feels like a place where time moves at a slower pace and vacation days feel endless. Created in a way that honors the land, the dedication to wildlife and land conservancy is much of the overarching mission at Palmetto Bluff. And the natural setting of the Low Country is an attraction unto itself - options include yachting, kayaking, nature walks, and trips to the hotel’s beach club on Daufuski Island.There are few places that offer a vacation for the sportsman and outdoor lover that deliver breathtaking scenery and untouched landscape, while still respecting the nearly 20,000 acres of pristine land that make up the luxurious Palmetto Bluff resort development. The May River Golf Club is one of the region’s finest, featuring a Jack Nicklaus signature course.

What’s there to do here, besides just disappear? The wellness spa is a perennial favorite, demonstrating the aforementioned hospitality with a wide suite of treatments and a private pool. Interiors boast pine floors, fireplaces, massive plush beds, and palatial bathrooms with separate steam showers and bathtubs, while the screened, furnished terraces and balconies afford unparalleled views of the surrounding forest and lagoon. The decidedly upscale accommodations blur the lines between indoor and outdoor luxury. This is the old South, make no mistake: you're midway between Hilton Head and Savannah, Georgia, and that famed Southern hospitality is on display from the moment you check in. The Inn at Palmetto Bluff may be the first East Coast hotel from the California-based Montage Resorts, but it would take a keen eye indeed to notice much Laguna Beach influence here - this place, though brand new, is absolutely authentic, its fifty clapboard cottages built in the local Low Country style of the South Carolina coast.
