Ways and Where to Stay

The Plantations of Hilton Head

Hilton Head is divided into areas called "plantations", and each area has it's own vibe.  Check out this great article to learn more about the various communities and get a feel for where you might want to stay and/or play.  Choose the location of your accommodation based on the part of the island you want to spend the most time on.

Accommodations on Hilton Head range from the classic resort hotel experience, to quaint boutique spa hotels, to rental villas, and even a couple of options for staying in your RV.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Christina Field
Hi, my name is Christina Field, and I am a life long traveling nomad having grown up in the Air Force and having traveled extensively as an adult on family vacations, trips with my hubby, and work-related travel. My husband and I love travel, exploring new places, and meeting new people so much we left our traditional house-based life and are living life on the road in our RV and on extended international trips. I strongly believe in the power of travel to enrich our lives. Travel provides opportunities for renewal, discovery, and inspiration and has the potential to transform lives and create a better world. I want everyone to have the travel experiences of their dreams, and that is why I am passionate about helping clients make their vacation dreams come true. Being location independent myself means I can help clients regardless of their location. I also know that most folks are so busy with day to day activities, and sometimes vacation planning takes a back seat. When you consider how many options there are and how many sources of travel information there are, it can be overwhelming to sift through the information and hard to know who to trust. That's where I come in. As a lifelong traveler and as a travel professional, I have expertise and access to exclusive insider information that I love to share with my clients. Whether you are planning a relaxing escape, a girlfriend getaway, a man-cation, a romantic honeymoon or a family reunion, I can create a customized experience for you that will be completely hassle-free and tailored to your wants and needs. What are your travel dreams . . . sailing on the seas, lounging at an all-inclusive resort, trekking on safari, cruising on a river . . . ? Where do you want to go . . . ? Reach out to me today, and starting with our first conversation I will use my years of research and organizational skills to custom design the vacation experience of YOUR dreams. I can take the work out of travel, so you can have all the FUN ! How can I help you? Email me at cfield@dreamvacations.com for help with custom itineraries and travel booking.
