South Carolina is known for a wide variety of activities and attractions. You can find gorgeous golfing greens, museums filled with exquisite artwork, magnificent malls abounding in nationally recognized stores, busy beaches or quiet shorelines and historic homes and locations all across the state. With so many places to visit and explore, planning a South Carolina vacation can take a bit of focus. One such focus is that of a Girls Only Getaway.
The ideal girl’s getaway in the Low Country would have to include doing (or not) all the things that having men and children often prevents. You know, a rejuvenating afternoon at the spa—perhaps the Kiawah Island the Spa at the Sanctuary, the Daufuskie Island Resort & Breathe Spa or the Spa at Palmetto Bluff, followed by shopping at Tanger Outlet Malls with dinner at Plums where on the weekends you can enjoy live music and great food.
If your group enjoys time spent in the great outdoors, then head to the cabins at Santee State Park and take a Fisheagle Tour or go on a boat trip on the Sparkleberry Swamp. Nearby is Bella Grace Day Spa where you can be pampered after a long day of exploration. Or perhaps you prefer the Pendleton District. Here you will find an abundance of cascading waterfalls, mountain bike trails that meander through the South Carolina Foothills Scenic Highway and historic bed and breakfast retreats sure to soothe the busiest guest.
If it is city adventures you crave, then book a suite at one of the fine hotels in Greenville, Charleston or Columbia. You will find an assortment of museums, art galleries, and, of course, shopping venues sure to inspire and delight. From drama productions to musicals and sporting events to luxurious spa treatments, South Carolina’s cities are sure to have something that appeals to everyone in your group.
Ah…a girl’s getaway…so much to do (or not) and so little time. When are you planning to visit?
