Within a vast Lowcountry reserve between the May River and maritime forest, Montage Palmetto Bluff spreads across villages, lagoons and live-oak-lined paths near Bluffton. Rooms, suites, cottages and residences draw on regional architecture, with broad porches, fireplaces and views towards woodland or water. Octagon, River House and Buffalo’s provide distinct dining settings, while Spa Montage, several pools, a marina, equestrian centre and Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course extend across the estate. Boardwalks, bicycles and golf carts connect the inn to chapels, village squares and riverfront lawns beneath moss-draped oaks.
