Romantic Weekend in Bluffton
Romantic Weekend in Bluffton
A slow, beautiful weekend for two — river sunsets, fine dining, and Lowcountry charm.
Bluffton has a quiet, unhurried quality that makes it one of the most romantic destinations in the South. The Spanish moss, the river light at golden hour, the intimate restaurants on Calhoun Street — it all adds up to something genuinely special. This itinerary is built for slowing down and savoring it.
Day 1 — Arrive & Unwind
Check into a waterfront rental or boutique B&B in Old Town — set the tone for the weekend
Sunset kayak on the May River — book a private guided paddle for two
Dinner at The Bluffton Room — intimate atmosphere, exceptional Lowcountry cuisine, and a wine list worth exploring
Day 2 — Palmetto Bluff & Old Town
Spa morning at Palmetto Bluff — the Inn at Palmetto Bluff offers day spa access for non-guests
Leisurely brunch at The Moss & Magnolia — the shaded courtyard is one of the most romantic spots in Bluffton
Stroll Old Town hand-in-hand — galleries, the bluff overlook, and the Church of the Cross
Farewell dinner at Calhoun Street Oyster Bar — raw bar for two, local wine, and a May River sunset to close the weekend
Insider Tips
Book the Inn at Palmetto Bluff for the full romantic experience — it's worth the splurge.
A private kayak tour for two is more romantic than a group tour — ask outfitters about private options.
The Old Town Art Walk (first Friday of the month) is a perfect evening activity for couples.
