About The Dunlin

  • Journey just 20 miles from Charleston to Johns Island and the banks of the Kiawah River – the coastal home of The Dunlin, named after our beautiful local shorebird. We welcome you to breathe in the sea air, surrender to sunny days and starry nights dictated by the simple pleasures of nature's rhythms. Get lost, physically and metaphorically, along our labyrinthine paths through the marshland or in a good book whilst sitting on a wicker rocking chair on your wooden porch, cocktail in hand. This here is a peaceful life, marked by conversation with extended family and friends, farm-fresh Southern cooking, and the whistles of Carolina wren in the distance. Welcome.

  • The Enchanting Effect of Southern Living

  • Check into one of our 72 guest rooms and suites to experience the charm of Southern living. With stylish and whimsical interiors by acclaimed designer Amanda Lindroth, The Dunlin welcomes with a peaceful feel and a cottage-inspired aesthetic, featuring white-washed rooms and honey oak floors with mint green accents and textural linen fabrics. Outside, generous porches are the perfect place for morning coffee or a nightcap, offering a sublime oasis in the marshlands with expansive riverfront views.

  • Aster - An Auberge Spa

    Inspired by the timeless elegance of French skincare traditions, Aster, an Auberge Spa, harmoniously blends European sophistication with a Southern charm. Capturing the essence of delicate beauty rituals, curated remedies by skilled estheticians include exquisite facials by Biologique Recherche and full-body skin therapies to restore and revitalize. Integrating the finest skincare products with the healing properties of local Aster honey, signature treatments are a celebration of self-nurturing and indulgence.

  • With cool breezes and expansive views across the glittering Kiawah River just beyond the table's edge, dining at The Dunlin harkens back to life's simple pleasures. Fresh seafood from the waters just beyond accompanies produce and dairy grown from neighboring farms, creating the ideal menu for sunny days spent poolside, blustery fall days, or lingering dinners beneath the stars. Full of soul and infused with the comforts for which Southern food is known, this is elevated home-style cooking at its best.

    Linnette's: A contemporary river camp with beautiful and comforting food, the signature restaurant pays homage to the heritage of Johns Island with familiar and comforting coastal cuisine prepared with a modern edge. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, imagine a seafood-forward menu spotlighting the catch of the day from our local fishermen and produce that changes with the seasons.
    Willet Room: Relax to the hum of the river, or mingle for some good conversation at The Dunlin's Lobby Bar. Open throughout the day, pop in for a perfect iced tea or refreshing cocktail served with a side of Southern charm. This is where to sit if you'd like a light lunch, to try a rare whiskey, or to linger in the early evening over wood fire-grilled oysters and a Charleston Swizzle.

    The Cove: Surrounded by lush palm trees and infused the feel of swim clubs from a bygone era, this charming riverfront pool is the perfect place to wile away summer days. Delight in a refreshing cocktail made with fresh-squeezed juice beneath a striped umbrella or in your private cabana, indulging in luxe lunch classics.

  • A short drive from downtown Charleston, The Dunlin is located on Kiawah River in the Charleston Sea islands. With 20 miles of waterfront, scenic nature trails, abundant marshlands rich in native flora and fauna, The Dunlin celebrates the rich heritage of South Carolina and the simple wonder of life on the river.
