The Dunlin Kiawah River

A new destination retreat on the banks of the Kiawah River surrounded by miles of golden spartina grass, giant oak trees and shallow marsh flats. Cool breezes blow through cottage-inspired guest rooms and river-view cabanas overlooking vast expanses of marshland. Large furnished porches offer a peaceful oasis to hear the whistles of Carolina wren as you page through a good book and enjoy the simple pleasures of island life. The main lodge is the heart of the resort where you can rock in wicker chairs on the wraparound wooden porch or enjoy cocktails from a riverside pool cabana as the sun sets over the marsh savannahs.

Cool breezes blow through The Dunlin’s cottage-style guest rooms, beckoning guests to sit back on their furnished porch to relax, listening to the whistles of Carolina wren. Measuring over 490 square feet, each room is decked with the essentials of Lowcountry living and a spacious sensibility, amplified by whitewashed tones and breezy linens. Accessible rooms available.

Luxuriate on your spacious porch with a good book in hand, or retreat to the deep soaking tub with a glass of wine – constructed with more than 740 square feet of living space, The Dunlin’s collection of suites truly feels like a home away from home. Imagined in classic Southern style, these suites are designed with warm honey oak floors, wicker accents, and mint green details. Accommodating families with additional space – including large living and dining rooms – we’re partial to the outdoor soaking tubs, ideal for relaxing under the stars after a day spent exploring the marsh. Accessible rooms available.
