Lowcountry Getaways
If you’re envisioning a trip that’s straight out of The Notebook, then these Lowcountry properties are for you. Escape the hustle and bustle and unwind at Montage Palmetto Bluff or Kiawah Island Golf Resort. Make it an extended vacation and pair either of these with Savannah or Charleston! There’s not exactly a slow season in this area of South Carolina because of the great year-round weather, but December is extra special and both properties pull out all the stops with holiday activities and decorations.

Montage Palmetto Bluff
You could easily stay at Montage Palmetto Bluff for 4-5 days and barely scratch the surface on their activities list. While this resort caters to families, I highly recommend it for couples and small groups. The resort is spread out over 20,000 acres with several room categories including standard rooms, private cottages, and whole-home rentals. There are seven restaurants onsite and two chapels making it the perfect wedding destination — the Biebers were married here in 2019! This is the perfect place to reset and enjoy simpler days, anything you may need is just a bike ride or golf cart away.

Kiawah Island Resort
Kiawah Island is a golfer’s paradise and the perfect destination for families. The Sanctuary is the main resort building with beach access, three pools, and multiple restaurants under one roof. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained, but the main attraction is golfing at one of the five championship golf courses. The Ryder Cup was hosted at The Ocean Course in 2021 and is the most popular of the five. I highly recommend the newly opened cottages on The Ocean Course for bachelor parties or small groups. In addition to amazing views and easy access to the club, it includes daily green fees, breakfast, complimentary on-island transportation, and more.
