Spa Montage Palmetto Bluff

Intimate Lowcountry luxuriance

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Plantation shutters, Spanish moss and the surrounding verdant countryside heighten the serenity of true Southern hospitality at Spa Montage Palmetto Bluff, the cottage-style oasis at Montage Palmetto Bluff. The spa follows the classic cottage interior design style of the property.

Park the beach cruiser that came with your cottage outside the luxury spa and walk through a beautifully landscaped, enclosed, front space that mimics the sanctuary feel of the building’s interior.

Once inside the Bluffton spa, guests approach a reception desk. Behind it, large windows offer a peek at the Bluff's grassy and naturist property while also allowing the sun to warm and amply light the two-story lobby. Most of the building is decorated in white, neutral tans and pale beige tones to ease you into a sense of serenity — and to let the spectacular views take center stage.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The calming spa is only is only a short bike — or golf-cart — ride away from most of the property's accommodations. If you're staying in the 75-room inn, simply head downstairs to indulge in a treatment at the first-floor facility.

Whether you indulge in the 2.5-hour Lover's Jubilee treatment with full-body massages, back exfoliation and a foot soak, or the His & Her Kur exfoliation, wrap, soak and rub-down in the private couple's suite, you will emerge from your treatment starry-eyed.
The relaxation lounge is filled with goodies, including lemon-infused water, apples and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
The Amazing Grace Massage on the May is a deluxe package that you wo't find anywhere else. Enjoy a 60- or 90-minute massage while cruising down the May River aboard the Hilton Head hotel’s antique 1913 yacht, Grace.

The Treatments

Treatments at the intimate hideaway evoke the pleasures of Low country, from the Signature Palmetto High Cotton therapy that combines a massage, hair renewal mask and foot reflexology to the Lemon Aide pedicure that taps into the natural antioxidant properties of the citrus fruit.

There's no better way to soothe your thirsty skin than with a wrap. Our favorite is the Signature Carolina Kur Experience, a custom-designed body mud masque inspired by the May River's mineral-rich pluff mud.
There are several treatments that target men. The gentleman’s facial treats razor burn and sensitive skin, but it also pampers your face with a relaxing massage and deep-cleaning mask.
