Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island

Beachfront Vibes with a Concert-Ready Twist

Modern, serene, and nestled right on the sands of Hilton Head Island, the Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island blends coastal charm with resort-style luxury. Just 10 minutes from Shelter Cove Marina and nearby shopping at The Mall at Shelter Cove, this resort offers laid-back elegance with ocean views, lush landscaping, and a relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for winding down post-show.
Spacious rooms come with private balconies or patios, offering views of the resort grounds or the Atlantic Ocean, along with thoughtful amenities like flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges. Whether you're catching a show or catching a wave, this resort caters to both vibes.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the peaceful setting after a high-energy night out. While it’s not in the heart of a bustling nightlife district, it’s within easy reach of local music venues and just a short drive from the scene. The resort’s shuttle service within Shipyard Plantation is a great perk for getting around without a car. Plus, the late check-in (from 4 PM) and on-site amenities like the full-service spa and pool make it a great place to relax after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a beachy getaway with concert plans on the side
• Solo travelers who want a little luxury in between big shows
• Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend
• Fans seeking a quiet spot to recharge after the lights go down
• Budget-conscious music fans who still want a resort feel

Food and Drink Options

There's no shortage of delicious options on-site. Seacrest Restaurant and Terrace offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner—perfect for a bite before or after the show. The Pavilion serves light, seasonal fare poolside, ideal for a late afternoon refuel. While there's no 24/7 room service, the dining options are diverse and satisfying. Plus, you're close to walkable eateries at places like Coligny Plaza.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans more relaxing retreat than party central, you're not far from local spots offering live music, beach bars, and lounges. After your concert, enjoy a chill drink at the onsite bar or take a ride to nearby nightlife hubs around Coligny and Shelter Cove.
