Montage Palmetto Bluff

Colonial-style 196-room residential resort amid 20,000 scenic Lowcountry acres, 25 minutes from Savannah. The distinctive cottages are trimmed by screened porches that overlook a river and lagoon. Request one of the even-numbered cottages for a more scenic tidal frontage, or an even grander Cottage Suite with separate living area and fireplace. Seven dining options include a formal steakhouse and new Octagon Porch serving Southern classics; small bar-lounge in the main lodge. Amenities include two gyms, several swimming pools, a tennis complex, an equestrian center, a 13,000-square-foot spa and a strikingly designed Jack Nicklaus signature golf course complemented by a timbered clubhouse. Outdoor activities include canoeing, horseback riding, guided nature walks, boating and fishing.
