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

EDIT: We were just there again! Absolutely lovely! Will be back regularly! We are big fans of Palmetto Dunes, and have stayed on the resort more than once. This time we stayed in Barrington Arms. This location is perfect! Right on the ocean, nice pool, great view, everything you could want! We had a large party and found a perfect accommodation for all of us. Large, well appointed with three bedrooms and three baths. Fully equipped kitchen, televisions, wifi, great couch area for all of us to gather at night, large table and chairs to share meals, etc. Really, it was perfect. Nice balcony overlooking the pool and the ocean. I watched the sun rise more than once from the balcony. Easy reservations, contactless check in and check out. Everyone was very nice! The resort is well maintained, and the General Store is a MUST visit! Breakfast on the porch of the General Store is a tradition - and the food is amazing! In addition to the General Store, the food at Big Jim's and The Dunes House is fantastic. Big Jim's was our choice for a late evening dinner when we arrived. Great service, great food. We went to Dunes House on our last day. Ocean front dining - what more can you ask? There are a lot of places to stay in HHI, but we'll always go back to Palmetto Dunes!
This was our 5th stay at Palmetto Dunes! We love it here! Amenities are awesome, and the beach is the most beautiful place on earth ! Highly recommend. Do it! You will be so glad you did!
Erin and Lisa were a pleasure to work with as we planned our micro beach wedding from Pittsburgh. Easy communication, very kind, and did their best to keep everyone dry during a drizzly ceremony. Would recommend!
