Travel + Leisure Names Kiawah Island & Charleston One of the World’s Best
We are pleased to share Kiawah Island is No. 9 among ‘The Top 10 Islands in the Continental U.S.’
Due to votes by T+L readers, destinations rank for natural attractions, beaches, cuisine, culture, friendliness, and overall value.
“The best islands in the continental US share an ability to slow down the hands of time,” writes the magazine on its website, “to recall simpler times and slower, laid-back living.”
In addition, our hometown of Charleston, SC remains the No. 1 city in America. This makes the 5th consecutive year for the southern city. It is also the No. 2 city in the World. In 2016 Charleston became the first city in the US ever to be named the #1 City in the World. A historical moment for the city. We believe Charleston deserves every one of the “bests” bestowed upon it. A mere 21 miles away, you can spend the day in the Holy City and still make it home for sunset on Kiawah’s beach.
Kiawah is no stranger to the World’s Best
As a result, the Island coveted the No. 2 honor in 2016 and was also named the No. 1 Golf Resort in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure Golf. The Island is a proud host to several championships including the 1991 Ryder Cup, the 2012 PGA Championship, and the upcoming 2021 PGA Championship.
Most noteworthy, the Island is named a Top-Five Second Home Resort by Barron’s PENTA Magazine for the second straight year. This marks seven consecutive years the magazine ranks Kiawah on its list of America’s Best Places for Second Homes.
“We are thrilled to be one of the top 10 islands in the United States. The Kiawah Island Real Estate team certainly believes and ensures that Kiawah is the ‘World’s Best’ every day. We’ve worked closely with over 10,000 families to find their dream home or in many cases here, home away from home.
