Picture your perfect couples retreat. You're relaxing on the beach all afternoon, looking forward to a wine tasting, maybe a quick city jaunt, and an intimate dinner for two at a small local's spot. It's all possible during a romantic vacation at Kiawah Island in the lowcountry of South Carolina.

Book a stay at The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, voted #1 Golf Resort in the U.S. by Golf World Magazine, #1 Tennis Resort in the World by TennisResortsOnline.com, and #1 Resort on the Mainland by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine. This AAA 5 Diamond and Forbes 5 Star beachfront property features 3 pools, an award winning spa, and 5 prestigious golf courses including the famed Ocean Course. Feel free to indulge at little - guests of The Sanctuary may even enjoy complimentary use of a Mercedes Benz vehicle during their stay, on a first come, first serve basis. Splurge for an extra special trip with Kiawah Island Golf Resort's Romance Package, with garden view accommodations, champagne, chocolates, a couples spa visit and more.

After long, lazy days spent beach or poolside at The Sanctuary, venture out to one of many plantations in the area, shop and stroll through historic downtown Charleston, or head to Irvin House Vineyards for vineyard tours and muscadine wine tastings. Make the short drive to nearby John's Island for an intimate dinner at Fat Hen, a locals' favorite featuring lowcountry style French fare, or dine at the Wild Olive's Cucina Italiana for seasonal, high quality imported Italian ingredients.

Kiawah Island is coastal living at its finest. Escape to the island and reconnect in a setting that's been romancing its visitors for centuries. Don't be surprised if you fall in love with Kiawah, too.
