Work follows a recent refresh of the guest rooms and now turns to the public areas. Plans call for a new lobby that opens toward the ocean and five new places to eat and drink: Cordelia’s, a lobby lounge; Breakwater Provisions for coffee and tea; Saltwater Social with Lowcountry dishes; Port House for fine dining; and Shoreline at the pools.

The Heavenly Spa will grow into a wellness campus with an infrared sauna, cold-plunge showers and a Tranquility Garden, and the treatment room count will rise to 11. An adults-only pool called Stillwater is planned, along with updates to roughly 40,000 square feet of meeting and event space and the Grand Event Lawn.
