This New Resort Captures The Magic Of The Lowcountry

Nestled beside the Kiawah River, a protected estuary of South Carolina’s sea islands, The Dunlin—a newly opened Auberge Resorts property—captures the quiet magic of the Lowcountry. Architect Robert Glazier set the tone with 72 cottage-style guest suites, appointed by designer Amanda Lindroth to evoke forlorn coastal mansions. “We imagined a 1920s white-clapboard beach house with windows open to the breeze; something simple but noble,” she describes. Strokes of black and sturdy brown antiques temper the designer’s minty marsh green palette and trademark rattan, creating interiors as sophisticated as they are sweet. Spacious guest rooms feature fireplaces, soaking tubs and generous screened porches overlooking gnarled oaks, wispy salt grasses and ebbing tides. Meanwhile, the retro-inspired pool surroundings and spa promise absolute rejuvenation.
