Located in South Carolina and fresh off the heels of a $35 million renovation, the beautiful Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa offers guests a blissful island getaway. With its picturesque location, spacious accommodations and plethora of amenities, the hotel is the perfect escape for a truly southern vacation.
As a Westin property, the brand's signature Heavenly Beds are featured in every room, which pretty much guarantees a great night’s sleep. Room service is available 24/7, so feel free to order in, kick back on your balcony and enjoy a tasty meal while overlooking the soft white, sandy beach below at any hour. The décor throughout the rooms are full of southern charm and additional features include an adjustable rain forest showerhead, dual vanities, in-room movies and video games, room temperature control, an in-room safe and more.
While the fairly subdued property is an extension of the calm, sleepy island itself, there is plenty to do to in and around the resort. If you’re traveling with children, the Westin Kids Club offers scheduled activities and camp daily. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings, the club also holds night programs for the little ones. Supervision is provided, so parents can drop children off for few hours while heading out to enjoy adult activities such as the Heavenly Spa by Westin™.
Resting admist palmetto-lined boardwalks, sparkling lagoons and calming fountains, the spa is an oasis of serenity. Boasting natural materials and neutral colors, the calming space offers a variety of treatments and therapies meant to relax and rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit. If traveling with a loved one, consider the Couples Suite package which comes with a 60-minute massage, an invigorating salt scrub and a warm therapeutic bath.
The resort has three distinctively different swimming pools; the main one is the most popular with a lap lane, The Splash Beach Bar & Grill and a uniquely-shaped form. For the novice swimmers, a smaller more intimate round pool sits nestled within the property’s gardens. On chilly evenings, take a dip in the covered and heated outdoor pool.
If golf is more your cup of tee (see what we did there?), The Port Royal Golf Club gives guests three full-courses to enjoy and has been deemed one of Golf Digest Magazine's Top 75 U.S. Golf Resorts. Along the coast of the Atlantic, the club offers wonderful vistas and challenging play. After a round of golf, head over to the Port Royal Racquet Club which Tennis Magazine has named as one of the Top 50 Greatest U.S. Tennis Resorts, as well as one of Tennis Buyers Guide's Top 5 Tennis Resort Pro Shops.
While The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa offers guests reason enough to never leave the hotel, there are also a number of spots around the island worth visiting. These include boutique shops, wine tasting venues, annual festivals, scenic nature reserve and 12 miles of sandy public beaches. With a ton of charm and some good ol' fashioned southern hospitality, this Westin property is well worth the trip.
