The Dunlin, Auberge Collection

The Dunlin, Auberge Collection A quintessential Southern retreat on the banks of South Carolina's Sea Islands.

A destination retreat on the banks of the Kiawah River surrounded by miles of golden spartina grass, giant oak trees and shallow marsh flats. Cool breezes blow through guest rooms and river-view cabanas overlooking vast expanses of marshland. Large furnished porches offer a peaceful oasis to hear the whistles of Carolina wren as you page through a good book and enjoy the simple pleasures of island

life. The main lodge is the heart of the resort where you can rock in wicker chairs on the wraparound wooden porch or enjoy cocktails from a riverside pool cabana as the sun sets over the marsh savannahs. Evoking the spirit of old-time summer retreats, The Dunlin’s 72 guest rooms overlook the glittering Kiawah River. Designed by Amanda Lindroth, inside you’ll find honey oak floors, white beadboard walls and mint green and wicker accents that nod to classic southern style, while deep soaking tubs, built-in closets and linen fabrics stamped with signature prints add an atmosphere of home.

Taylor and Christian’s wedding weekend was designed to feel both deeply personal and effortlessly transportive.

Guests were welcomed on the Salt Meadow with an evening inspired by old-world Italian nostalgia, moving between golden hour spritzes, antipasto spreads, and pasta spun inside parmesan wheels, with olive oil from the groom’s family company woven thoughtfully throughout the details.

The following day, a spring ceremony unfolded along the marsh and river, where soft grasses and natural florals echoed the surrounding landscape and allowed the setting to speak for itself.
