South Carolina has historically slipped below the radar when it comes to vacation spots. In recent years, this has turned around as excellent resorts have appeared. If golf is your thing, the Kiawah Island Golf Resort will qualify as a slice of heaven.Walking into the grand lobby of the resort is to step back to a time of elegance, beauty and traditional Southern Charm. From silken chairs to marble facades to a giant fireplace, the entire atmosphere is one that remains you of a grander time and place. Although the grand lobby will take you back in time, the resort has a decidedly modern twist. The layout is elegant, but definitely modern with the individual units being comprised more of modern townhomes than one would expect at first glance when taking in the resort. The meshing of time periods works even if it is somewhat eccentric. This was obviously given serious consideration by the designers. The real find of this resort which was built in 2004, however, is not on the outside of the facilities but on the inside.Aside from the award winning golf course and picturesque ocean views, this resort boasts a top spa that will knock your robe right off. From pumpkin wraps to a wild cherry buff, you have never had a spa experience like this one. After that spa day you may want to relax with a nice glass of wine and some gourmet food, which can easily be done at any one of the resort's restaurants. French, Southern, or Seafood, foodies will enjoy even last bite that these fine establishments have to offer.There is no doubt that you will feel elevated, alive, and rejuvenated once your vacation is through, though you may not get a large helping of that southern flavor from this hotel. Those that solely focus upon spa and golf offerings will be thrilled at the location and selection, which is why most people travel to this spot. Just picture your day. You rise early to play 18. After that, it is a light lunch and a walk on the beach. Then to the spa for a bit of pampering. Take a bit of a nap and then head out for an epic meal and a bit of dancing. That is what the sanctuary has to offer you.
