The Inn at Palmetto Bluff, an Auberge Resort


Just 30 minutes from Savannah and Hilton Head Island, The Inn at Palmetto Bluff, an Auberge Resort marries upscale luxury with Lowcountry charm outside Bluffton, South Carolina. In true Lowcountry style, the 50 suites and guest cottages sport screened porches, cozy fireplaces, and double-pitched metal roofs—along with fine linens, plasma-screen TVs, Sub-Zero refrigerators, and wireless Internet access. When available, private vacation homes with up to four bedrooms furnish guests with all that and more.

Groups find themselves in one of the wildest and most beautiful places in the Carolina Lowcountry. Resident naturalists stand by to introduce the local flora and fauna through seminars or encounters on foot, kayak, or boat. Fly-fishing, canoeing, biking, horseback riding, and workshops in astronomy, archaeology, history, and culture lock in lifelong memories of the Lowcountry. Further incentives start with an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course and a
9,500-square-foot luxury spa.

Most meetings convene at the River House on the Village Green, which also holds the lobby, gourmet restaurant, and lounge. Upstairs, generous prefunction space serves a multipurpose ballroom and veranda joined by two boardrooms. Downstairs, the Wine Cellar hosts dinners and receptions for up to 48. Meanwhile, old-fashioned oyster roasts and a five-story tree house with riverfront bar reward visits to nearby Moreland Landing. And, on Page Island, groups have
an entire 30-acre team-building center and staff to themselves.
