Coral Reef Resort by Palmera | Where Quiet Comes Naturally

Hidden within the peaceful surroundings of Shipyard, Coral Reef Resort is designed for those who appreciate life’s quieter moments. Surrounded by towering pines, ancient oaks, and beautifully landscaped grounds, the resort offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere where nature sets the pace.

Spacious townhomes provide all the comforts of home—from full kitchens and generous living areas to private outdoor spaces—creating the perfect place to gather, recharge, and make lasting memories. Whether you’re enjoying a morning walk beneath the trees, relaxing by the pool, or returning from a day at the beach, Coral Reef welcomes you back with the comfort and serenity of home.

Away from the crowds yet close to everything Hilton Head Island has to offer, Coral Reef is more than a vacation destination—it’s a place you’ll look forward to returning to year after year.

We have been coming here for years! As far as I am concerned, it’s the best location on the east coast! You can park your car for a month and walk to everything! After a month of walking to all the things to do,there’s still more to see and do!

We had extended family together for a week at Coral Reef and thoroughly enjoyed our accommodations and location. It’s a spacious townhouse and nestled next to a little creek. There are so many types of birds, big and small. We also saw a lot of turtles that would swim toward us to be fed bread. The area is perfect for biking and bikes were delivered to our door and picked up. The private beach entrance is a pretty short drive within the resort and has a little snack/drink bar and great showers for after the sand. The kitchen had all the basics and we never heard our neighbors once.

I had a wonderful vacation at the Coral Reef by Palmera, and once again, it is an exceptional place to vacation. I love this place very much and the shipyard beach was very beautiful and coligny beach too. I loved seeing the talented young tennis players at the Vandemer Tennis Academy practicing and becoming great tennis pros. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and I felt love when I was there it was a very good vacation. Thanks for a wonderful time, and I hope to be able to vacation again soon.

Great place for families!! Love the views and the walking paths. Our villa backed up to the 5th hole. We really enjoyed sitting on the back porch, drinking our coffee, watching the wildlife & the golfers. I would highly recommend this resort.
