The Dunlin, Auberge Collection
Johns Island, South Carolina, United States · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
The Dunlin welcomes you to experience the outdoor bliss of coastal living in Charleston's Sea Islands 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…
Surrounded by 2,000 acres of Kiawah Riverfront and grasslands, The Dunlin blends Lowcountry luxury with coastal living at its finest. The 72 whitewashed, cottage-style accommodations are stylishly relaxed and feature private porches. Traverse miles of trails by bike or foot. Paddle a kayak through the tidal flats, visit the farm animals, or go birdwatching, crabbing, and fishing. Linnette’s restaurant features a seasonal, seafood-forward menu; after dinner, make s’mores around the campfire. Book a signature spa treatment incorporating local Aster honey.
