Daufuskie Island Resort & Spa

Similar to neighboring Hilton Head, Daufuskie is one of South Carolina's Lowcountry residential sea islands, situated about 20 miles due east of Savannah, Georgia at the southernmost entrance to the Calibogue Sound. With a surface area of about eight square miles and no bridge connections to the mainland, it has a population of only a few hundred full-time residents, making it an ideal location for a truly secluded vacation getaway the Daufuskie Island Resort & Spa.

The resort's 190 guest rooms are located within an antebellum-style, oceanside inn complemented by several two- and four-bedroom cottages set between the ocean and the marsh. Facilities here include an executive conference center, a Stan Smith-designed tennis center, an equestrian center, a beach club, five swimming pools, and three miles of white sand beach. The par-72 Tom Weiskopf-designed Bloody Point Golf Course runs adjacent to the resort along the Mungen River.

The spa aspect of the Daufuskie Island Resort refers to the on-site "Breathe Spa," which specializes in customized body and facial treatments. There are also four restaurants here, including the Stoddard Bistro for fine steaks and seafood, Jack's Place Grill (named after Jack Nicklaus) at the Melrose Clubhouse, the Beach Club, and the Sportsman's Lodge at the Equestrian Center.

The Daufuskie Island Resort & Spa is located at 421 Squire Pope Road, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina 29926. It can be accessed only by private boat or the passenger ferry from Embarkation Center on Hilton Head Island.
