The Inn at Harbour Town – A Romantic Destination Extraordinaire
Steeped in gracious Southern charm and surrounded by mesmerizing seascapes along the Calibogue Sound, guests are now welcomed by a rejuvenated lobby marked by soft blues, soothing greens and warm neutrals. Furnishings have been updated to exude a relaxing seaside ambiance, while newly-installed tropical landscaping and lighting craft a gracious exterior.

New sound and light-proofing creates total tranquility and relaxation in the well-appointed guest rooms, while stylish new fabrics, linens, window treatments and spa-like bathrooms are playful and energizing. Renowned artist Michael B. Karas was commissioned to create signature, Lowcountry giclée prints that adorn both the lobby and guests rooms.

Simply put, a premier romantic destination is now even better.

Just because an atmosphere of ease and enchantment prevails, don't get the impression there is nothing to do – although few locales are as suited for escaping the hustle and bustle and reconnecting.

Just off the main hotel entrance is the resort's famed Harbour Town Golf Links, one of the most iconic names in golf having welcomed the world's best players and thousands of fans for over 40 years at the RBC Heritage, one of the most distinguished events on the PGA TOUR schedule. Its perennial accolades are too long to list here.

Two other acclaimed courses complete Sea Pines' trifecta of golf. Heron Point by Pete Dye opened in September 2007 was named one of America's “Top 50 Courses for Women” by Golf Digest. It's got “couples' golf” written all over it.

Also perfect for his and her play is its Ocean Course – an attractively fun layout that has been called “beginner friendly.” It's golf on the non-intimidating side.

Sea Pines features an array of additional world-class amenities. The Racquet Club boasts 23 clay courts and is ranked as one of the best in the U.S. Five miles of sweeping Atlantic beaches offer everything from sea-kayaking to fishing to strolling hand-in-hand as the day winds down.

The delightful 605-acre Forest Reserve is ideal for horseback riding or wandering the many trails chockablock with wildflowers, wetlands and more than 130 species of birds. Or grab a bicycle and cruise along the tranquil byways to your heart's content. Few places are as “bike friendly.”

Harbor Town itself, with tranquil vistas of the ocean, is the activity hub for the entire 5,000-acre property. It offers boutique shopping, an array of restaurants for all tastes and luxurious villas all bordering the Yacht Basin – easily one of the most recognizable harbors in the boating world.
