7. A Trip to Kiawah Island

There truly is no better gift than a visit to Kiawah Island. While you could just soak up the sun and sand — yes, even during the holidays — we suggest making the most of your time with pre-planned activities and reservations. 

Play 18 holes at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, stroll around Freshfields Village and then end the day with Island cuisine at one of the finest restaurants Kiawah has to offer. 

During the holidays, there is so much to do around the Island, so why not do it with the ones you love most? For the ultimate holiday gift, spend time together making unforgettable memories on Kiawah Island. But we’ll warn you — a trip to Kiawah Island will be tough to beat during next year’s holiday season!
