Coastal-refinedunhurried

PB hotel design editorial

Amanda Lindroth has always understood that the best coastal rooms feel earned rather than decorated, and at The Dunlin, Auberge Resorts Collection, she was given exactly the right canvas: 72 cottage-style rooms, suites, and 19 villas spread across a 2,000-acre waterfront community on Johns Island, South Carolina, where tidal marsh meets live oak and the horizon is uninterrupted in every direction. Robert Glazier's architecture sets the stage with deep wraparound porches, steeply pitched gabled roofs, and board-and-batten cladding painted the pale grey-white of bleached driftwood — forms drawn directly from the Sea Island vernacular that shaped this stretch of the Lowcountry for centuries. The buildings sit close to the water's edge, facing the marsh in a loose cluster that suggests a village rather than a resort campus. Lindroth's interiors carry the same sense of easy, unhurried life. Guest rooms arrive with honey oak bed frames, mint-green woven headboards, gingham canopy ceilings, and walls panelled in sage that shifts colour as the tidal light changes through the afternoon. The bar — perhaps the property's most exuberant room — features rattan Bentwood-style stools at a warm timber counter, arched niches framing a backlit bottle display, and a mint-lacquered tongue-and-groove ceiling that pushes the atmosphere somewhere between a 1930s Caribbean club and a Savannah summer porch. Dried palm fronds, botanical prints, and stripe-and-toile pairings complete a scheme that never tips into nostalgia because Lindroth knows precisely when to stop.

About

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.

"We cannot say enough about how much we absolutely loved spending a week here at the Dublin. From Grace at check-in to Zach- the best waiter we’ve ever had anywhere- we were so impressed and in love with the property. Housekeeping has done a fantastic job, the food was world-class, and the gym & pools were perfect. Very rarely do we want to return to a resort where we’ve already stayed, but this will be one of the exceptions. We honestly don’t want to leave! Thank you to the staff here for making my husband’s birthday so memorable. PS- drive the Maybach."

"I just returned to California today after a wonderful vacation in South Carolina and I wanted to jump on and give a review of The Dunlin, Auberge Collection while it was still fresh in my mind. I wanted to share my appreciation for the way the team at Dunlin made our stay, during the Rouse/Barnes wedding weekend, the best ever! The team handled a small situation we had at checkin with such care and professionalism. The manager completely understood our frustration and kindly offered to make amends for our stressful moment. We were very appreciative of all the kind things they did for our group, all the attentiveness and tokens were such a nice touch. I also want to especially recognize one of the Managers, Emily, who was incredibly kind and generous. She truly wanted to make sure our experience turned around after the stress of our room delay. She arranged for me and my three friends to take a tour of the Goatery, which we were so happy to be part of. Emily, along with another wonderful female manager (I unfortunately cannot remember her name, but she had brown hair and was so kind) really helped transform what started as a frustrating experience into a wonderful weekend. Nathan, at the Valet station, also went above and beyond to make our experience even better than we had hoped. Overall, the staff at the Dunlin were top-notch. The team rectified the situation exceptionally well, and we ended up having a lovely and memorable time. I will absolutely be telling my friends and family about the Dunlin and the outstanding hospitality we experienced. I highly recommend this beautiful resort!!"

"It took me a minute to fully appreciate how amazing this place is…but once you know its magic…. The attention to detail in the rooms, the design, the workout facilities, the general ambiance, the service, the food, everything. The only downside is I now want to redecorate my whole house to match The Dunlin."
