Montage Palmetto Bluff

The epitome of Southern charm and elegance

What it is

A 20,000-acre resort with heavy hitting amenities—a private Jack Nicklaus golf course and 13-room spa—set on the May River between Savannah and Hilton Head.

What it isn't

An all-inclusive, nor is it in walking distance to a major city or town.

What we think

While it’s only been managed by Montage since 2013, the Palmetto Bluff has a long history in hospitality: A wealthy New York banker settled the property in 1902 and invited guests down from the north annually—they traveled by railroad or steamship—for weeks of lavish house parties. The original structures burned down, but the golden era allure remains thanks to the property’s Southern hospitality, colonial-style architecture and social atmosphere. Depending on how aggressive your golf swing is, recreational activities lean towards leisurely. There’s the private 18-hole signature Jack Nicklaus golf course and golf practice facility, as well as bocce ball courts, croquet lawns, an equestrian center and tennis courts. On the water, you can kayak, go salt or freshwater fishing and take a May River dolphin tour.

You're here because

You want to slow down, have old-fashioned fun and regularly sip five o’clock cocktails on a wild Lowcountry coastline.

The Moment

Enjoying a glass of champagne and hors d’oeuvres at sunset on the Grace, one of the few pre-World War I gas-powered yachts left in the U.S. The boat was recently restored—to the tune of $1 million—and now sports everything from a new engine to a fresh coat of paint.
