Plan a Refreshing Kiawah Island Staycation This Year
You don’t have to be from out of town to really relish and appreciate time away from the hustle of life on Kiawah Island. In fact, locals will find that a Kiawah Island staycation could be just what they need this year to feel refreshed and at their very best! When you live somewhere like this, it can be easy to overlook the beauty and fun at your fingertips when daily demands pile up and pull your attention in other directions. Instead of purchasing expensive plane tickets and heading to a faraway destination this year, we would suggest considering the many benefits of staying home and enjoying a Kiawah Island staycation experience instead.
Even if you’ve long called Kiawah Island home, requesting a copy of our Free Vacation Guide before your next staycation here is worth your while! Inside, you’ll find an exciting lineup of local events, attractions, and activities to add to your staycation experience that you might otherwise simply overlook.
Slow Down and Savor the Flavors
When you make time to enjoy a Kiawah Island staycation, you’ll gift yourself the opportunity to relax, slow things down, and really experience your home through new and exciting flavors. Kiawah Island is packed with incredible eateries to explore, and many locals simply don’t have the time in their busy schedules to enjoy them all the way they would like to. Whether you consider yourself a food enthusiast or you’re just looking for palate-pleasing options, Kiawah Island has your staycation experience covered.
Leave all thoughts of cooking for yourself behind on your next staycation and head to Jasmine Porch instead. Here, you can settle into enjoying ocean views and make the most of an evening savoring shrimp & grits at your own, leisurely pace. A sunset drink over at The Ryder Cup Bar could offer up just as inspiring of a culinary moment when you can’t imagine anything more refreshing than a cocktail overlooking the 18th hole of the Ocean Course. When you’re enjoying a staycation with friends, make your way to FortyEight Wine Bar & Kitchen in Freshfields Village where a range of pours can easily be paired with seafood and mouthwatering dessert options.
Shop those Stops You Often Overlook
A Kiawah Island staycation is a chance to explore local shops you might otherwise simply overlook within the understandably hectic pace of your daily life. When you’ve set aside time to vacation right at home, an afternoon strolling through Freshfields Village puts you within easy reach of charming art galleries and boutiques that are sure to inspire. There’s no reason to resist when you’re drawn to the gorgeous, handmade coastal décor you’ll find here. You can also easily refresh your own closet with a stop at Lilly Pulitzer during your visit, where resort-inspired pieces are showcased like true works of art.
Take a Moment to Really Enjoy Your Natural Surroundings
Once you’ve had time to shop and dine your way through a portion of your Kiawah Island staycation, it’s time to stop, breathe deep, and look around at the natural beauty you’re lucky enough to be immersed in. Kiawah Island is home to more than 10 miles of stunning shoreline, and oftentimes, locals might not treat themselves to enough time shelling, reading on the sand, or making the most of a sunrise walk.
A staycation here is a chance to remedy that and really soak up your surroundings at their best. You might consider how rejuvenating it could be to rent a bike for the day and explore the more than 30 miles of paved trails Kiawah Island hosts. You could even set aside time for a leisurely kayak tour alongside a guide and learn more about the salt marshes that make up important ecosystems here. If you’re someone who loves golf, gifting yourself a tee time on the Ocean Course during your staycation is a great way to hone your skills while appreciating the beauty of your surroundings.
