The Dunlin, Auberge Resorts Collection

Plus

The Charleston Sea Islands float like a string of sparkling beads along the Atlantic Coast. One of its finest, Johns Island, is home to The Dunlin—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. Here, sunny days and starry nights unfold to the rhythm of the tides where herons and osprey peck at fiddler crabs and redfish swimming in the salty currents. Ribbons of gently flowing waterways curve around an abundance of wooded trails, hammock islands and fertile farmland where time moves more slowly and the simple pleasures of lowcountry living are a boundless source of joy.
