Why Palmetto Dunes Hilton Head for your vacation....?
Its quite simple really. Its one of the finest resorts on the Island where you can enjoy a tranquil setting, a wealth of activities and amenities.
Palmetto Dunes Resort was my initial exposure to resort style vacationing in my first trips to Hilton Head. I honestly did not know what to expect. The vast amount of information and reviews were not readily available as they are now.
But I took the chance.....and I'm glad I did.

Although I visited other resorts on the Island over the years, Palmetto Dunes is still one of my favorites. While smaller than Sea Pines Resort, it sits on three miles of pristine Atlantic Ocean beachfront and sprawls across 2,000 acres. Plenty of space to accommodate all its amenities. One of Palmetto Dunes' main features is a private 11-mile lagoon to enjoy kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Nature lovers can enjoy over 40 species of birds and fish in their natural surroundings on this ecologically-friendly resort. |
Palmetto Dunes has first class accommodations, hosting two major hotels and a combination of villas and private homes.
With plenty to choose from, the villas in Palmetto Dunes are separated into complexes that include ocean front villas, golf course villas and lagoon view villas. Many of these villas are complimented with community swimming pools and tennis courts.
