While there’s plenty of adventure in Charleston, it's also the perfect vacation spot for those looking to relax and unwind. This is perhaps why it's an often-visited destination for those who travel luxuriously. 

With that in mind, here are some top tips for planning a luxurious vacation in Charleston. 

Visit Sullivans Island Beach. Charleston’s coastal location means that you’re never far away from stunning ocean views. However, these beaches can quickly get crowded, especially during the summer months. That’s why the relatively secluded and serene Sullivans Island Beach is the perfect place to visit, especially if you’re looking for peace and quiet while you sunbathe. 

 

Hop into a water taxi. There’s plenty to see and do in Charleston, but if you don’t want to be on your feet the entire day, why not take the sights from a water taxi instead? This a much more relaxing (and memorable) choice that will also make for some excellent Instagram snaps and photographs!

Visit a local spa. No relaxing weekend getaway is complete without a trip to a spa! Whether you’d prefer to look into beauty treatments, such as pedicures and manicures, or are in desperate need of a deep-tissue massage, you’ve got plenty of options to choose from in Charleston. If you’re staying at a high-end hotel, be sure to check out whether or not this provides you with access to facilities at no extra cost. After all, this way, you can experience true bliss without having to spend any additional money. 

Unplug during your trip. While you may need to use your phone from time to time to take a picture or to navigate your way from one attraction to the next, try to treat yourself to digital detox during your trip. After all, you’ll find that you make much more meaningful memories when you aren’t viewing everything through your phone screen. Not only that, but this can also provide you with a much-needed respite from social media. While you may not think that you have a scrolling issue, social media is a breeding ground for negativity and self-esteem issues, and you’ll likely find that you feel much more at peace after taking a break from it. Furthermore, by making a conscious effort to unplug, you’re less likely to check your work email or respond to messages. This means that your free time remains free!

Take a stroll through Charleston City Market. If you’re looking for a low-key way to explore some of what the city has to offer, be sure to stop by Charleston City Market. Here, you’ll find a wide variety of locally made and sourced products, from baked goods to clothing. As such, you’ll be surrounded by countless opportunities to treat yourself or pick up a few souvenirs. While this is a must-see destination for shopaholics, it's also great for history buffs. After all, the market was first established in the early 1700s, and you can learn a great deal about the city’s history when exploring this area.
