Hotels in Palmetto Dunes, Hilton Head

If you are looking for hotels in Palmetto Dunes, there are two, and both are oceanfront. The rest of the community is rental villas and homes, which you will find under Palmetto Dunes rentals. This page covers the two hotels, how the gate works if you stay in one, and where else to look if they are full.

Omni Palmetto Dunes and the Hilton Beachfront Resort

The Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort is the one most people mean when they search for Omni Palmetto Dunes. It sits on Ocean Lane, and its guests pick up their gate pass at the South Gate. The Hilton Beachfront Resort & Spa on Hotel Circle is bigger and is still known by many as the Hilton Head Marriott, its name until it changed flags. If you want the Marriott Palmetto Dunes people used to book, this is that hotel. It does not need a gate pass to reach.

Both resorts are on the beach and both have pools and a spa. Staying at either puts you inside the community with the three Palmetto Dunes golf courses and its tennis and pickleball courts. For a wider look at Hilton Head resorts, see resorts in Hilton Head Island.
