A Family Resort Designed to Make Lasting Memories

Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is located at the heart of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina named the #1 Beach Town in the US by Parents Magazine. Palmetto Dunes’ three miles of sun-kissed Atlantic Ocean beachfront provide the perfect venue for three world-class golf courses, vacation rentals, a full-service marina, and an 11-mile lagoon system. The resort enjoys a well-earned reputation for creating unforgettable vacation experiences for the entire family. It’s no coincidence, as vacationers return year after year, many decide to make Palmetto Dunes their permanent residence.

From our guests

Excellent amenities and customer service. A resort that draws customers from all over the US for a reason. A true gem for SC.
My family loved our stay at Palmetto Dunes! We stayed in 720 Queens Grant and loved our accommodations. We rode our bikes every day to the beach and enjoyed all the beautiful scenery. Enjoyed the pickle ball courts on site too! Shelter Cove Marina is across the road and we rode our bikes there every day to enjoy the restaurants and shops. There were so many places to enjoy nearby. We explored a lot of places on the island and we were so happy that we chose to stay here. Would highly recommend and hope to be back!
Hilton Head Island never disappoints, but Palmetto Dunes specifically is the perfect place for a family vacation. Our crew of six enjoyed being able to ride bikes everywhere-from the beautiful shaded paths, to the general store for ice cream, and even on the beach during low tide. The Dunes House was reasonably priced, amazing chefs and service, and beachfront location was so convenient. We loved the stunning sunset at Shelter Cove and the Tuesday night fireworks! Wildlife and beauty everywhere you turn.
The best place to vacation in Hilton Head is by far Palmetto Dunes👍 We have been coming here for years with our family and Palmetto Dunes is our go to vacation location.
