The venue
There's a reason guests keep coming back to Wild Dunes Resort, Charleston’s island resort. An easygoing, relaxed atmosphere. A place where you can feel at peace. A place to savor the moment and memories. A better place.
It doesn't hurt that Wild Dunes Resort is just a short drive to historic Charleston, S.C., either. Charleston has been named among Conde Nast's “Best Travel Destinations in the U.S.” and one of the “Coolest Small Cities in America” by GQ. Charleston's restaurant scene is world-famous. Festivals and events fill the streets nearly every weekend. Famous architecture abounds, while natural low-country landscape beckons adventure. Charming local shops, art and history are an essential part of the culture.
