Sustainability
Our Commitment
Kiawah Island has always been renowned as a naturally beautiful location. Since resort construction began on the island in the 1970’s, all development has been carefully designed to blend into the island’s natural habitat. This commitment to nature preservation led to many innovative developments, including the requirement that all buildings remain behind the secondary dune line to protect this critical habitat. There are also no streetlights on Kiawah, as the artificial light could attract Loggerhead Sea Turtles away from the beach on which they nest for six months of the year.
Long before “ecotourism” became a marketing term, the resort was giving guests the opportunity to donate $2 per night during their stay to the Kiawah Island Conservancy, which is dedicated to the preservation of the island.
Each of our five championship golf courses as well as the grounds of The Sanctuary have been certified by Audubon International as Cooperative Sanctuaries.
