Evoking the spirit of old-time summer retreats, The Dunlin’s 72 cottage-style guest rooms overlook the glittering Kiawah River. The main lodge is the heart of the resort where you can bird watch from a wraparound wooden porch or enjoy cocktails from a riverside pool cabana as the sun sets over the marsh savannahs.
Simple and soulful Southern cuisine lets farm-fresh ingredients shine featuring three distinct dining options, and solace can be found at the full-service spa. Farther afield, you have access to an endless array of outdoor activities from beach excursions to fly fishing.
