When Spanish explorers first landed on Hilton Head Island, they landed in the future home of the Spanish Wells community. Although it is a private community, it is perfect for those who want to escape from their busy schedules and get away from it all.

Spanish Wells Plantation is located on a peninsula that divides Broad Creek and Calibogue Sound, providing residents with breathtaking water and sunset views. Within Spanish Wells Plantation are 219 homes, with prices starting at just under $1 million. The residential architecture varies from modern lavish estates to older and more modest homes, most on lots that exceed one acre. Spanish Wells has a clubhouse and semi-private nine-hole golf course designed by George Cobb. The community has tennis courts and a small beach area, and a recreational dock with an extra large float.
