A quintessential Southern retreat

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.

Escape to the Charleston countryside

Cool breezes blow through cottage-inspired guest rooms and river-view cabanas shaded by lush native trees. Large furnished porches offer a peaceful oasis to hear the birdsong of Carolina Wren as you page through a good book or catch up with loved ones. Inside, honey oak floors, white beadboard walls and mint green and wicker accents nod to classic southern style, while deep soaking tubs, built-in closets and linen fabrics stamped with signature prints add an atmosphere of home.
