Take a minute. Take it in. The stunning, sprawling grounds of your retreat, cradled in a palmetto tree-lined, rolling wave of ocean that seems to go on forever. On second thought, you’re going to need more than a minute. So let’s stay right here for the evening, basking in our access to The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, this view, this hospitality. Start with a cocktail in The Lobby Bar, perhaps visualizing your croquet game on the lawn outside.
As dusk slowly curtains the Atlantic, linger over dinner on the Grand Lawn, where the menu is dictated as much by the bounty of the season as by the brilliance of the chef. And when darkness has drenched our ocean view, move to the sounds of a beloved musical artist as you step to the Terrace Ballroom and Courtyard into the afterglow: a soul-stirring fireworks display. Still need a few more moments? Let’s end the evening on the lower lawn putting course (you know you couldn’t wait) with a little glow-in-the-dark putting and gratitude that the final “good night” is followed by “see you tomorrow.”
