Hilton Head Island has long been known as one of America’s most pristine environments in a visitor-friendly setting. Accessible from the mainland only by a bridge, Hilton Head is a holiday oasis bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west.

While it is famous for its 12-mile stretch of glistening sands, the island is also well known for its sports activities as well as its varied arts features and cultural events.

Hilton Head is distinctly divided into a series of exclusive resort plantations each with golf courses and luxury accommodation. The first course on the island, Harbour Town Golf Links on Sea Pines Resort, was built in 1961 and is best known for its landmark finishing hole with Calibogue Sound running along its left side and the Harbour Town Lighthouse as a backdrop.

The Sea Pines Resort two other championship courses, luxury villas and condominiums, as well as a sparkling new Inn at Harbourtown. It has been built in the tradition of a Scottish luxury country hotel complete with tartan-clad butlers on each floor.

Palmetto Dunes is yet another Hilton Head island classic. Along with three superb courses named after their architects - Jones, Fazio and Hill - Palmetto Dunes Resort offers a wide range of accommodation from six bedroom oceanfront villas to the luxurious rooms at Marriott Golf and Beach Resort Hotel.

But the region’s best kept secret might be Daufuskie Island Resort, a short boat ride form Hilton Head. Daufuskie Resort boasts a traditional full service inn and spa as well as two demanding tests of golf. In addition to the golf, there is an equestrian centre in a remote environment where your only mode of transport is a golf cart.
