Lowcountry
A great choice for those seeking a sporty but low-key spot, this beachfront hideaway was revamped in 2016 and features some of the largest rooms on the island, each of which comes with a mini-kitchen and balcony. Other sweet amenities include 56 holes of golf, 24 tennis courts, two beachside hot tubs and three pools (one is adults-only).
It's perched beside an 11-mile system of lagoons that's perfect for canoeing and kayaking.
