Coral Reef sits on Valencia Road inside the gated Shipyard community on the south end of Hilton Head Island. The resort covers about ten acres of townhouses and cottages, and Shipyard’s private beach access is part of a stay.
It belongs to Palmera Vacation Club, the same club as Port O’Call, Palmera’s other resort inside Shipyard, and its members stay on points in split weeks or full weeks.
The Townhouses and Cottages at Coral Reef
Coral Reef’s units are two- and three-bedroom townhouses and cottages, laid out like small homes among the trees. Each has a full kitchen stocked with cookware and tableware, a washer and dryer, and TVs in the living room and the bedrooms, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the resort.
Pool, Hot Tub and Resort Amenities
The resort has a seasonal heated pool with a hot tub and a sauna, outdoor grills, and a concierge on the resort team to help with plans for the week.
Golf and Tennis at Coral Reef
Owners pay only cart fees for a foursome at Shipyard Golf Club and at Port Royal, so the greens fees are covered. Stays also include an hour of tennis a day for four at the Port Royal Racquet Club; see tennis on Hilton Head for the island’s other courts.
Booking a Stay
Stays are booked through Palmera Vacation Club on members’ points. For availability and anything about a stay, call the Coral Reef front desk at (843) 785-1000.
