The Inn at Palmetto Bluff: “Mom, Is this Paradise?”

I recently spent 3 days with my family at The Inn at Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, SC.  After arriving and being shown to our Cottage Suite with a view of the May River , my daughter simply asked “Mom, Is this Paradise?”  After less than thirty minutes, the resort made a huge impression on her, and it continued to wow us for the rest of our stay. The staff was undeniably the nicest I have encountered in quite a while. The entire property was picture perfect and the rooms were stunning. There were so many things to do without ever leaving the property that we simply could not do them all in our three short days.

Just a sample of the activities available include complimentary bicycles which we rode everywhere, tennis courts, 2 pools, fitness classes and workout room, an amazing spa, boat trips to see dolphins or visit Hilton Head Island, four restaurants, and a golf course. There is also a three mile lagoon that runs through the property where you can kayak or paddle board. We did a scavenger hunt around the property and every night we visited the main house and made s’mores around a fire pit. One of my kids’ favorites was the tree house and zip line.

The Inn at Palmetto Bluff has all the modern comforts you could ever want but it feels like a simpler time when you are there. It is laid back and easy going and was the perfect place for us to relax and get away. We have only been back home a week and already my daughters have asked when we can go again.

If you are interested in visiting this Virtuoso property, I can offer special amenities when you book through Kiel Travel:

Full daily breakfast for two, a complimentary one way transfer to the airport, and an upgrade at check-in if available.
