Plan the Perfect Girl’s Getaway in Hilton Head
Enjoy Wine Tasting at Island Winery
Once you have settled into your oceanfront home, make your way to Island Winery for a bottle of wine. You can then sit back and enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean with your favorite ladies. Island Winery is open Monday through Saturday from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. During these hours, you can taste up to six wines for $8. You can enjoy a glass of wine in the tasting room, on the patio, or in their large family and pet-friendly picnic areas.
Take a Sunset Cruise
The South Carolina Lowcountry is a destination meant to be explored from the water. Make the most of your girls' trip with an unforgettable sunset cruise. Pack a picnic basket full of your favorite hor oeuvres and drinks, and let the tradewinds take you away. Some of the best island cruises and private charters include Outside Hilton Head and Vagabond Cruise. In addition to one of the most spectacular sunsets you'll ever experience, there is more. Bottlenose dolphins, manatees, and scurrying crabs on the marsh's pluff mud are frequent sightings, so remember to bring a camera to capture it all.

Get Competitive with Golf or Tennis
Stay active on your vacation with a round of golf or tennis. Hilton Head Island is home to many award-winning golf courses. On your trip, you'll have more than 40 courses to play. However, if you are playing on the island for the first time, we recommend going to the legendary Harbourtown Golf Links. This championship course in the Sea Pines community offers brilliant views of the Atlantic Ocean and the island's famous candy-striped lighthouse.
Tennis players will feel equally at home on the island with multiple award-winning facilities. For those staying in the Palmetto Dunes community, visit The Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center. Here, players can enjoy more than 20 clay tennis courts, four lighted courts, 16 pickleball courts, daily round robins, and a full-service pro shop. Take a look at our Tennis Guide for a complete list of recommendations on the best places to play. For those who wish to make tennis the centerpiece of their girls' getaway, look at our Sea Pines and Palmetto Dunes homes that offer free tennis.
Create Your Souvenir at the Art Cafe
Forget about cheap plastic souvenirs. A getaway to Hilton Head Island deserves a piece of memorabilia that will last a lifetime. The Art Cafe offers visitors the opportunity to create their hand-painted pottery. This one-of-a-kind art center also serves delicious cuisine from the island's favorite restaurants, Rockfish Seafood & Steaks. Remember that the glazing and firing process takes two to three days to complete. Plan your trip accordingly to have time to pick up and pack your souvenir!
Relax at Your Own Private Oceanfront Pool
After a fun-filled day exploring Hilton Head Island, head home with the girls to a beautiful oceanfront home. When you choose any of our beautiful homes, you can always look forward to your private pool, luxury linens, and exclusive discounts through our Advantage Card Program.
