Kiawah Island
Charleston, United States
Kiawah Island, a barrier island just outside Charleston, was developed as a resort in the 1970s after being bought by the Kuwait Investment Company. Its Osprey Point Golf Course, designed by Tom Fazio, is famous for incorporating the coastal landscape into its design. Adventurous visitors explore 30 miles of paved trails, weaving through maritime forests and along the island’s vast, unspoiled beaches.
