Wild Dunes Resort - Charleston, SC

  • A beach resort unlike any other, Wild Dunes offers unique views, inspiring amenities and easy access to Isle of Palms beach. There's a reason guests keep coming back to Wild Dunes Resort. An easy going, relaxed atmosphere. A place where you can feel at peace. A place to savor the moment and make memories. A better place. It doesn't hurt that Wild Dunes Resort is just a short drive to historic Charleston, South Carolina.
  • Charleston has been named among Conde Nast's Best Travel Destinations in the US seven years in a row and GQ's Coolest Small Cities in America. The culinary scene is world-famous. Festivals and events fill the streets nearly every weekend. Famous architecture abounds, while natural Lowcountry landscape beckons adventure. Charming local shops, art, and history are an essential part of our culture.
