Ballantyne Magazine Gift Guide

December 02, 2021 by Jessica Palles

This year I’m thrilled to partner with Ballantyne Magazine to provide a recommended experience for their gift guide! Here in Charlotte, we’re so lucky to have great resorts and destinations within driving distance, so it was hard to pick just one, but with warmer weather on the horizon it felt appropriate to pick the Sanctuary on Kiawah Island.

With the Sanctuary on Kiawah Island, visitors have plenty of activity options, along with miles of beach access, an award-winning golf course, a luxurious spa, and a range of on-site dining! Read more about the Sanctuary here, and see the entire gift guide here!

As Jessica Drew Travel clients, when you book the Sanctuary with me you’ll receive the following perks:

  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability

  • Daily full breakfast for two guests per bedroom

  • Welcome amenity: full bottle sparkling wine from honor bar

  • $100 USD Resort/Hotel credit, to be utilized during stay (not combinable, not valid on room rate, no cash value if not redeemed in full)

  • Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability

  • Complimentary Wi-Fi

Reach out today to start planning your Kiawah Island getaway!
