Day 1 - 3
Savannah
Collect your hire car upon arrival at Savannah Airport and make your way to The Westin Savannah Harbor
Golf Resort & Spa, set on the banks of the Savannah River, where you’ll enjoy a three-night stay. Shaded by old oak trees draped in Spanish moss, perfumed by magnolias and filled with historic buildings, public squares and pretty gardens, few American cities are more arresting than Savannah. Many of its attractions are in the highly walkable Historic District, including the Owens-Thomas House, one of the best examples of Regency architecture in America, and the tall brick warehouses of the waterfront, many of which have been tastefully transformed into seafood restaurants and riverfront bars. Guided walking tours come highly recommended, as does a visit to old Fort Jackson, which has stood in Savannah’s skyline for nearly two centuries. -
Days 4 to 5
Bluffton
Head north across the border into South Carolina and enjoy the scenic drive up to Montage Palmetto Bluff, a former hunting lodge on the May River set in 20,000 acres of protected maritime forest. It’s the ultimate Lowcountry retreat and your base for the next two nights, allowing ample opportunity to explore its lagoons and secret beaches, to relax with a massage, or to try your hand at anything from kayaking and golfing to clay pigeon shooting.

Days 6 to 8
Hilton Head Island

A wide range of bike and nature trails criss-cross its sea marshes, lagoons, forests and sandy beaches, all of which can be explored in the island’s warm, subtropical climate.
