48 Hours in Hilton Head

Day One

Morning

Start your day with a fresh and flavorful breakfast at hh prime, the resort’s signature restaurant. Choose from traditional Southern favorites, health-conscious options, and fresh seasonal fare—all served in a comfortable setting with views of the lush resort grounds.

After breakfast, walk over to the Seaside Shack to rent bikes and explore the resort’s scenic paths. With over five miles of bike trails within Palmetto Dunes, you can cruise past lagoons, beachfront, under the shaded oaks, and dunes without ever leaving the resort area.

Prefer a slower pace? Unroll a beach towel or settle into a lounge chair at the zero-entry resort pool, and soak in the morning sunshine while the little ones enjoy the Kids’ Splash Pad nearby.

Afternoon

For lunch, stay poolside and dine at Buoy Bar (seasonal), a favorite among guests for its fresh coastal cuisine and relaxed vibe. Enjoy casual bites like shrimp tacos, gourmet burgers, crisp salads, and ice-cold beverages—all served with a side of sea breeze.

Afterward, treat yourself to a cabana rental at one of the three pools for some elevated leisure. Whether you’re lounging by the adults-only pool, unwinding in an oceanfront hot tub, or watching the kids play nearby, you’ll enjoy resort-style relaxation at its finest.

In the afternoon, head to the Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center for some light activity. Guests of Omni Hilton Head enjoy access to one of the top-rated racquet sports facilities in the country. Sign up for a clinic, take a private lesson, or join in a friendly round robin. With 19 tennis courts and 24 pickleball courts (all lighted for evening play), there’s no shortage of options.

Not a racquet sport enthusiast? Return to the resort and explore the Ocean Tides Spa Boutique.

Evening

As the sun begins to dip toward the horizon, head back to hh prime for a refined dining experience. Known for its USDA Prime steaks and locally inspired seafood, hh prime delivers elevated coastal cuisine with Southern hospitality. Dine indoors in a relaxed, upscale atmosphere or request outdoor seating for an al fresco experience under the stars.

After dinner, take a peaceful stroll along the beach, just steps from your room. End the evening in one of the oceanfront hot tubs, letting the sounds of the waves wash over you as you unwind beneath the stars.

Day Two

Morning

Begin your second day at Palmetto Market, the resort’s casual marketplace and café. Grab a breakfast sandwich, fresh fruit, or your favorite coffee drink to go, and enjoy it from your balcony or on a bench overlooking the dunes.

If you're up for some activity, head to the fitness center or start your morning with another bike ride around the property. With the island’s gentle terrain and beautiful scenery, every ride feels like a new adventure.

Afternoon

Today is perfect for a golf experience at one of the three legendary Palmetto Dunes courses, all located just minutes from your guest room. Omni Hilton Head’s concierge team can help you book tee times at:

• Robert Trent Jones
• Arthur Hills Course
• George Fazio Course

After your round, return to the resort for a delicious lunch in the open air at Breeze (seasonal), located near the pool deck. Choose from seasonal wraps, fresh sandwiches, and refreshing beverages—perfect for refueling without slowing down.

In the afternoon, reward yourself with a visit to the Ocean Tides Spa. Choose from therapeutic massages, skin treatments, and body therapies designed to calm, restore, and renew. For those looking to take the relaxation home, the spa boutique offers signature products used in treatments.

Evening

As the sun sets on your final evening, toast to a stay well spent with handcrafted cocktails or a local beer at XO Sports & Spirits. For dinner, explore nearby restaurants offering fresh coastal cuisine—our concierge is happy to recommend a local favorite. Prefer not to drive? Our complimentary shuttle takes you to any destination within a 3-mile radius, making it easy to savor your last night in Hilton Head in relaxed, island style. Finish the evening with a quiet moment around the fire pits or a final moonlit walk on the beach. It’s the perfect way to end your island stay.
