There is literally no stage of motherhood that doesn’t leave us in need of a wellness weekend. For some of us it’s a wellness month! Postpartum moms need time to heal (mentally and physically), all moms need a break (with someone else doing the cooking) and girlfriends need a space to re-connect. When a friend of mine visited Hilton Head Health for her celebratory 40th birthday, I learned that this may be the place all of us moms need for a moment of silence, nourishing food, mental rejuvenation and physical fun.
What is Hilton Head Health?
Hilton Head Health is a wellness spa and resort in South Carolina. Named the #3 Best Domestic Destination Spa by Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards, it offers different experiences based on the individual’s needs— whether it’s more of a wellness getaway, a healthy reset or a weight loss jump start. The goal is for guests to leave with invaluable tools to help manage stress, life balance, and happiness by reconnecting with nature, learning meditation and yoga, as well as indulging in spa services and delicious nourishing meals. Food is a key component here, which is interesting because it’s a known weight-loss facility. You eat beautiful food, learn the techniques to do so, while learning to eat more healthfully, versus less, to possibly lose weight.
How to Get to Hilton Head Health
The Savannah Airport has the most flight options. They have a shuttle that runs to the wellness facility.
When to Visit HHH
Summer is very hot & humid so if you’re not used to that weather, try the off season instead (March-early June and September-November).
What Makes Hilton Head Health Unique
As we found out, no two days are ever the same and you’re in the drivers seat! If you want to sleep in, you can. If you want to go to bed at 8pm and wake up for the sunrise beach walk, you can. It’s a choose your own adventure getaway that leaves you feeling renewed and refreshed.
Hilton Head Health for Postpartum Moms
Postpartum moms love visiting Hilton Head Health because it’s time for just you. In other countries, postpartum moms commonly visit facilities to rest, physically and mentally, unlike the US. While postpartum moms visit, they can do nothing or everything without the distraction of family. It’s a few days that will feel like an eternity (in the best possible way) where you get to decide what, when and where. It’s just for you.
As a postpartum mom it’s hard to take anytime to start feeling like yourself again. It’s hard to get back on track and make sure you’re treating yourself well. This is the chance to do that, and make a plan for when you get back home on how you’re going to take time for yourself
Where do you Sleep at Hilton Head Health?
The lovely Sweetgrass Inn at Hilton Head Health has 30 guest rooms, a game room & theater room overlooking the pool.
The Spa at Hilton Head Health
The wellness facility here is not a trend-driven spa where the latest wellness trend drives the experience. HHH is rooted in longevity. All meals follow a Mediterranean diet. It’s not opulent or fancy- people come here to “work” on themselves- mentally, physically or both.
The Food at HHH
The food here is absolutely delicious and extremely filling (we may have ate more here than at home).

Visitng HHH
The most important thing at Hilton Head Health is to try SOMETHING that scares you or something you’ve never tried before (TRX!). This is a judgment free resort, and you might find a new exercise that you really enjoy/were too intimidated to try at home. Here you can feel comfortable trying it!
We kayaked, did yoga on the beach, slept late, had a facial and a massage and by the time the 4 days were over we truly felt rejuvenated and refreshed. The best tip is to listen to your body— some days you might just want to sit in lectures all day, others you might take back to back fitness classes. It’s your trip!
One mom we met here said, “A visit to HHH was the best gift I’ve ever received”.
