Check In
Check into The Sanctuary Hotel at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, your seaside escape for the next 72 hours. Perched on the unspoiled shores of Kiawah Island and surrounded by five pristine courses, this luxury resort will wrap you in splendor and hospitality from the moment you arrive.

Fuel For the Fairway
Make your way to the Ryder Cup Bar and grab a table on the wraparound deck for a bite to eat before heading to the tee box. Located 150 feet away from The Ocean Course's final hole, this relaxed eatery is both considered the course's "19th hole" and a favorite dining option for those about to take on the tees.

Retreat + Relax
While the whole of the resort exists as a blissful escape to a near-perfect hideaway, perhaps no place at The Sanctuary is as sought-after for serenity-seekers as the resort's spa. Melt your stress away with luxurious treatments in an award-winning haven surrounded by the gentle call of the waves.

Breakfast of Champions
The best pre-round golf routines always include a hearty breakfast. Take a lesson from the pros and choose to enjoy room service on your private balcony or make your way to The Market at Town Center to fuel up for another day on the greens.

Day Three
If you find yourself asking, "Could this possibly get any better?" - the answer is "Yes, it could." The best of Kiawah was saved for last, so delight in a few final extravagances. Day three promises equal parts reveling in the quiet island's natural beauty and savoring the flavors of the Lowcountry.
Early Bird Boardwalk Stroll
Sneak out to the shore as the sun rises over the horizon. Follow a scenic boardwalk to the beach, where chirping birds will flit alongside the sky blazing view. Depending on the season, you'll spy plovers and sanderlings while picking up a few sand dollars and sharks teeth for the road.

Brunch With a View
After a few delightful hours in nature, brunch is served at Jasmine Porch. If you've yet to try local shrimp and Geechie Boy grits, here's your moment. Sip a mimosa or fresh squeezed juice as you prepare to keep swinging into the afternoon.
