The Vacation That Feels Like One

Soft ocean breezes begin the day on Hilton Head Island, coaxing you onto the pristine sands. Ocean waves play on the seashore as seagulls and sandpipers duck among them. This is where you've come to relax, to be warmed by the sun's blissful rays.

Renowned as one of the world's most family-friendly, beach vacation destinations, Hilton Head Island offers unlimited opportunities for holiday memories and was most recently named by Southern Living as the #1 Memorial Day travel destination for a weekend vacation. As an intimate getaway for two, an idyllic backdrop for a family reunion, or an excellent retreat for corporate meetings or celebrations, the Island extends a variety of accommodations and recreational activities, from tennis instruction and bike trails, to shopping and dining, great cultural activities and outdoor adventures such as kayaking, boating and fishing. In addition, Hilton Head golf is equally as renown, beautiful and bountiful. Lush, verdant fairways designed by golfing greats and ideal year-round Hilton Head weather beckon you to challenge your game on the Island referred to as the "Golf Island."

You'll notice that there's something different about Hilton Head the moment you arrive. By design, there is a sensitive nod to the environment that has become the blueprint for other developments around the nation. Buildings are set back from the main roads, showcasing the native sea pines and majestic oaks. Colors are subdued and blend with the natural environment. And streetlights here are as rare as snowstorms. There's plenty of green wherever you go, and strict development guidelines ensure that the only thing between your eyes and a breathtaking view are your sunglasses.

There is a relaxed and warm island attitude in the air, one that whispers "Come away to Hilton Head Island."
