About Kiawah Island

History, tradition, and classic Southern hospitality mingle with modern conveniences and a vibrant community

There’s a private island community located just south of Charleston in the temperate South Carolina Lowcountry where you can hike, golf, boat, swim, bird-watch, fish, dine, shop, socialize, or just relax to your heart’s content. With luxury homes set among stunning vistas of forest, river, fairways, beach, and marshlands, Kiawah is in a league of its own.

There’s no other quite like Kiawah.

A careful and deliberate long-term master plan has always set Kiawah Island apart from other coastal communities on the Eastern Seaboard. A keen respect for nature and a strong emphasis on preservation has protected the Island’s natural environment while allowing for development of a golf, tennis, and resort destination of international prestige.
