One of the American South's most exclusive resort and holiday destinations, Kiawah Island presents the epitome of refined and sophisticated luxury, with a selection of villas and suites available to rent that embody the very best of 21st century America's hospitality industry. Part of a select band of resorts and vacation communities that harken back to an earlier more genteel age, a visit to this unique part of South Carolina feels almost like stepping back in time, with facilities and service that redefine notions of excellence. Built around some of the country's most outstanding natural habitats this premier gated community manages the difficult task of co-existence with its environment in a way that few other resorts can match, creating a uniquely-relaxing ambiance in which to recover from the travails of modern life. Whether you wish to partake in a round of golf on one of the island's pristine course or enjoy an unforgettable meal in one of its restaurants, a Kiawah Island hotel provides an oasis of calm for travelers who appreciate the better things in life.

With South Carolina being one of the USA's oldest and most historic states it should come as no surprise that a five star resort such as this should be based here. Despite the dynamism of the local economy and the relative youth and diversity of its population the entire region has a unique atmosphere and a magical, timeless quality. If you're traveling to a Kiawah Island from outside of the United States, you're likely to arrive at Charleston's International Airport, a sleek and modern transportation hub that receives flights from cities across the USA as well as overseas. With the onward journey to Kiawah Island likely to take around an hour (depending on traffic) along the adjoining Interstate 95 you may wish to reserve a hotel room or suite in the vicinity of the airport before continuing, allowing you to recover after your flight. As well as the usual range of motels and hotels that surround most major airports, there are some superb four and five star establishments within easy distance of the major terminals that provide superior levels of comfort and a range of options from affordable guest rooms to more sumptuous and spacious suites.

Upon leaving the confines of Charleston, you'll discover what it is that makes this part of the world such a desirable vacation destination, with the countryside that surrounds the city amongst the most beautiful of the Deep South. When you arrive at your chosen Kiawah Island hotel you'll find that the relaxed and elegant charm which characterizes this ancient part of America also pervades your lodgings, with spacious lounges and air conditioned reception areas easing you into your vacation, almost imperceptibly. While the environment created by the island's hoteliers is one of reposed calm, the staff of a typical island hostelry are anything but supine, with an eagerness to assist and a dedication to duty that is of the highest order - without ever becoming overbearing.

As you'd expect from one of the United States' most exclusive corporate playgrounds, the island is home to several of the world's best golf courses, with carefully designed fairways and greens leading to the exquisite comfort of clubhouses the likes of which you're unlikely to have experienced before. As well as the resort's public areas, the high standards set by these exclusive hostelries extend to the hotel rooms, suites and villas throughout the island. With large and spacious rooms the rule rather than the exception, the luxury lodgings you'll find here continue the ethos of sophistication and elegance that runs throughout the island. Whether you choose to book a hotel room for the weekend or reserve a self-catering villa for a longer vacation you'll find that only the best furniture and fittings have been utilized throughout the island's various hostelries, with large, airy guestrooms offering as much space as you could want either for relaxation or socializing.

As well as its esteemed sporting facilities, the island is also a great place if you want to indulge in some retail therapy, with some of the USA's most exclusive shopping opportunities only moments away. Both the island's West Beach and East Beach districts host some superb salons and boutiques as well as unique and charming arts and craft shops. As well as luxury items one of the island's newer developments, Freshfields Village, is the place to pick up groceries and other shopping essentials as well as being the venue for the many music and cultural festivals that take place throughout the year.
