A quintessential Southern retreat
Tucked within the heart of our sea island community, The Dunlin welcomes guests with the warmth of an old-time summer retreat and the quiet luxury of Lowcountry living. Its 72 cottage-style guest rooms overlook the glittering Kiawah River, where days unfold slowly and sunsets linger over the marsh. The riverside lodge invites you to unwind — birdwatching from a wraparound porch, sipping cocktails by the cabana-lined pool, or savoring simple, soulful Southern fare crafted from farm-fresh ingredients. Two distinct dining experiences celebrate the flavors of the region, while a full-service spa offers serenity just steps away.
The best part? This isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to belong. Explore the spirit of Kiawah River, and you may just find yourself dreaming of a home here. Visit for a weekend — stay for a lifetime.
