This enchanting five-mile island located one nautical mile from Hilton Head Island can only be reached by ferry. With only a few hundred full time residents you will sense you’ve arrived at a vacation destination reminiscent of Hilton Head Island several decades ago. The chief mode of transportation is the golf cart as there are only a few cars on the island.

There’s another dimension to Daufuskie Island that will make your vacation here memorable and eventful, because there are so many things to do. Golf Digest has given the two championship golf courses, Bloody Point, designed by Tom Weiskopf, and Melrose, a Jack Nicklaus signature course, ratings of four and four and a half stars. Both courses offer unforgettable golf amongst a lush tropical setting and ocean.

If tennis is your passion, two tennis centers are available offering har-tru courts. The Melrose tennis center designed by Stan Smith offers lighted courts. If you’ve ever imagined what it might be like to horseback ride along the ocean, this may be the vacation to do it, or choose the ride through the oaks or a sunset beach ride. There are even pony rides available for children at the Equestrian Center.

Should you be in the mood to indulge and pamper, the Daufuskie Island Breathe Spa offers many spa packages “Just for Her” and “Just for Him” and “Just for Two” as well as massage and hydrotherapy. Dining options are primarily centered on the Melrose Inn, which features four restaurants and lounges providing bistro and casual dining.
