Kiawah Island is a barrier island south of Charleston known for its natural beauty and world-class golf. Most of the island is a private residential community, with the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, the Sanctuary hotel and a collection of courses designed by some of golf’s most famous architects. The Pete Dye-designed Ocean Course has hosted the 1991 Ryder Cup and two PGA Championships, and the island’s ten miles of beach, maritime forest and marshes are home to dolphins, bobcats and loggerhead turtles. Second homes, resort hospitality and golf are the island’s economy.

The drive from Charleston International to Kiawah can take an hour or more through traffic on Johns Island’s two-lane roads, so many travelers prefer to fly into Charleston Executive Airport on Johns Island, about 20 minutes from the resort gate. Flying private lets you go from the airplane to the first tee in short order and return home on your own schedule. Visitors spend their time golfing, biking, beachcombing and dining at the resort, with Charleston’s restaurants and history within easy reach.
