Meetings at Kiawah Island

Just 21 miles from the cobblestone streets of historic downtown Charleston, South Carolina, Kiawah Island Golf Resort provides an unforgettable coastal setting for meetings, conferences and special events. Meetings are a vital component to drive, support and enhance business. There is nothing more important in a troubled economic climate than bringing people together to reaffirm the path forward. Just as companies invest in R&D in their products and services, they'll also need to continue to invest in their employees and executive leadership to survive in these economic times.

Kiawah Island Golf Resort offers the perfect venue for meetings and incentive programs. Far from the maddening crowd on a secluded barrier island untouched by commercialism, Kiawah Island is devoid of stoplights and fast-food outlets and blessed with wide stretches of pristine beach and ancient moss-draped oaks. It offers the perfect secluded setting for effective business meetings.

The resort has close to 35,000 sq. ft. of meeting space (18,000 sq. ft. in its hotel, The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island, and another 17,000 sq. ft. disbursed throughout the 10,000 acre island including a dedicated conference center). Its natural setting allows participants to remove themselves from today's tumultuous world and focus on the important strategies of developing their business plans without distraction.

The meeting facilities at Kiawah Island Golf Resort feature the cutting edge in technology, the upmost in security and are high-speed internet friendly. Additionally, our staff is experienced in handling every level of meeting.

We are well aware of the challenges companies are now facing and are ideally suited to provide businesses with great value. We haven't reduced our operating budgets or staffing so we can provide the same seamless meeting and conference planning and execution that Kiawah has become famous for. Kiawah Resort is in the unique position of being able to offer a wide selection of accommodations at varying prices. In addition to The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort and its extensive meeting infrastructure, the resort has a separate conference center and numerous clubhouses with meeting facilities that service the close to 600 villas and luxury homes under the resort's management.
