The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island is the crowning jewel to a special resort island, already recognized for its world-class golf and natural beauty. Located along the pristine shores of Kiawah Island, this exquisitely designed luxurious hotel, just thirty minutes from downtown Charleston, captures the spirit, history, and charm of southern hospitality. With its 255 gracious guestrooms and suites, The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island is the finest oceanfront hotel built on the East Coast in the past 20 years. Each spacious room features luxurious five fixture baths, large marble showers, dual vanities, private water closets, shuttered bathroom windows and ocean view balconies. As part of the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, guests at The Sanctuary enjoy championship golf and world-class tennis. The unique nature-based luxury spa features 12 treatment rooms to soothe the mind and body, and a fitness room with indoor pool and jacuzzi. The hotel's friendly, highly professional staff will make sure your stay or event is a memorable one. It is no wonder that Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report has described The Sanctuary as "the best new resort hotel."
