Do you have a case of the winter blues? Or perhaps you are preparing a bucket list for the coming cooler months so you’ll have plenty of winter travel ideas in South Carolina. Even though we don’t get many of the pretty snowy scenes like our friends up north, that doesn’t mean we don’t have any winter fun. In fact, let’s take a look at a resort in South Carolina where you’ll have a blast during the winter season. Continue reading to learn more about Palmetto Bluff, which might just be the best resort in South Carolina. Not only does this winter getaway in South Carolina offer family-friendly amenities like a treehouse and s'mores station, but it also offers downright luxurious offerings for adults. It's a bucket-list-worthy experience, and one we love.
Situated on 20,000 acres of the gorgeous South Carolina Lowcountry, Montage Palmetto Bluff is the best resort in South Carolina for a winter getaway.
Located in Bluffton, average temperature highs typically range in the lower 60s, with lows normally only falling into the 40s. So outdoor activities without bulky outerwear are usually possible.
We love walking around the property, admiring the beautiful Spanish moss and glimpses of the May River.
It's remarkable to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery year-round without frigid weather conditions.
Where else can you truly enjoy being out in nature during the coldest winter months, exploring a 5-story treehouse?
One of two treehouses at the resort built around live oak trees without touching any part of the trees, the Moreland Treehouse is an impressive five stories high with an observation deck at the top.
Trust us when we say the views are absolutely phenomenal, especially in the winter.
The Mount Pelia Treehouse may be the favorite for younger family members, with multiple entry and exit points, including a wooden boardwalk, a rope ladder, and a metal slide. Such fun!
Here's the view from one of the treehouses. You could definitely spot some alligators in the water if you look long enough!
If it's rainy or a cooler day, you may wish to stay indoors and enjoy some bowling at a unique state-of-the-art gallery, located in Moreland Village.
Other experiences include an array of sporting activities, such as ax throwing, clay shooting, fishing, kayaking, and more!
Or, simply find a cozy spot inside the resort to catch up on your reading.
You can have the ultimate relaxing day at the spa, where you can pamper yourself and unwind with massage therapies, facials, and body treatments.
Montage Palmetto Bluff also has a children's program with fun activities, and it's pet-friendly!
Finish off your day gathered around the firepit roasting marshmallows for s'mores!
And then snuggle up in front of the fireplace for some reading or just enjoying some down time before turning in for the night.
And let's not forget the meals you'll have while at the resort. Montage Palmetto Bluff has seven restaurants to choose from as well as in-room and private dining options.
We also love the grab-and-go options from RT's Market if you're craving an easy night in.
