Hilton Head Island Resort
Montage Palmetto Bluff
This remarkable Hilton Head Island resort getaway is actually located in the small, charming town of Bluffton, South Carolina, situated beautifully along the May River. Positioned approximately 15 to 20 minutes off Hilton Head Island, the property formerly known as the Inn at Palmetto Bluff has been updated and is now the magnificent Montage Palmetto Bluff, offering an unforgettable Lowcountry escape with its famous languid pace and warm hospitality.
If you are looking for a Hilton Head vacation that you will remember for a lifetime, you may just want to give Montage Palmetto Bluff some serious thought. The company that I work for rented several of the luxury cottages for a week-long professional gathering, and by the end of the trip, we were all ready to forget about going back to work the following Monday.
From the moment we drove onto the lush, sprawling grounds of Montage Palmetto Bluff, it was an absolute delight. The staff members are incredibly gracious and helpful, and they always had a warm smile on their faces, making sure our stay was as perfect as possible.
Outstanding Hilton Head Island resorts such as this one can make you easily forget about strict schedules and looming deadlines when you have such wonderful, serene surroundings to occupy your mind. When it comes to finding the perfect place to unwind, standard hotels in Hilton Head Island simply can’t get any better than this peaceful riverfront sanctuary.
Montage Palmetto Bluff Cottages
The resort offers incredible luxury accommodations, but the quaint bungalow cottages are truly a highlight, being large, spotlessly clean, and incredibly inviting. These look just like small, elegant homes and remind you of a private vacation rental, offering a unique and upscale touch that stands out from all the others.
When you arrive at your individual cottage, there are bikes waiting right outside for you to use during your stay. This was incredibly fun, especially because we made it a group activity; I had not gone biking in quite a while but soon felt right at home as we rode around exploring the massive, scenic grounds of Montage Palmetto Bluff.
Inside the accommodations, I absolutely loved the rich pine floors and thought that the softly cushioned window seat was the perfect spot to relax. From the large windows, the sweeping views of the ancient wooded areas and the sparkling May River are pretty amazing to wake up to each morning.
Honestly, other Hilton Head Island resorts and traditional hotels in Hilton Head Island cannot be easily compared to the elevated experience provided by Montage Palmetto Bluff. This resort is easily one of the best in South Carolina, blending high-end luxury with a casual, relaxed Southern charm.
Each cottage features a big screened porch that gives you a great way to enjoy the fresh outdoor air without worrying about insects or the occasional bit of rain. Late at night, our group would usually be gathered together on one of those porches, playing cards, sharing stories, and enjoying a late-evening snack.
Montage Palmetto Bluff Activities
Montage Palmetto Bluff has many activities to make your Hilton Head vacation endlessly enjoyable. Some of the fantastic onsite activities for guests include swimming, kayaking along the May River, and playing croquet, while fishing, water-skiing, tennis, and world-class golf are also readily available.
There is also a state-of-the-art fitness area where you can go and work out if you somehow feel that you need to challenge yourself even more on your vacation. It is fully equipped for a professional-level workout, ensuring you don't miss a beat in your fitness routine while traveling.
While I normally enjoy going to the gym at home, during this Lowcountry visit it seemed as though I was getting plenty of natural exercise just enjoying the great outdoors. After an active day, you can head over to the resort's luxurious spa, which provides rejuvenating facials, a relaxing sauna, body treatments, and therapeutic massage therapies that seemed to do an outstanding business during our stay
This is a wonderful place to stay for all ages and occasions, ensuring that couples, singles, groups, and families are sure to have a terrific time. Although my kids did not accompany me on this particular trip, I noticed there were a lot of families with children having an absolute blast at this premier Hilton Head Island resort.
I definitely plan to return for a family vacation soon, as there is plenty of room for everyone to explore and the beautiful pools are sure to be a main attraction.
