Daufuskie-Island
is a residential sea island nestled between historic Savannah, Georgia and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The island has a permanent population of around 300 and is home to two exclusive resorts. To the northeast is the Haig Point Golf Club, a residential golf community with a small number of year round residents and several members who maintain vacation homes there. South of Haig Point is the Daufuskie Island Resort & Breathe Spa, a private vacation club voted by Golf Digest as "One of the top 75 Golf Resorts in North America." The resort also offers equestrian pursuits, superb boating and fishing opportunities, six Har-Tru tennis courts, state-of-the-art fitness equipment, swimming pools, hiking trails and so much more. The Breathe Spa is situated between the ocean and the beautiful greens of the Bloody Point World Championship Golf Course. Visitors have many choices at the Breathe Spa, from customized facials, stone massage, reflexology, herbal baths, hair and scalp therapy and much more. Of historic interest on the island is the Haig Point Lighthouse, built in 1872, and now a quaint bed & breakfast (reserved exclusively for members and their guests.) Residents of the Daufuskie Island clubs use golf carts and bicycles to travel around the island. Ferry service from Haig Point to Embarkation and Harbour Town is available 24 hours a day.
