The Dunlin, Auberge Collection

The 18 Best Hotels in Charleston, South Carolina - AFAR

"A laid-back luxury resort on Johns Island within the Kiawah River community that emphasizes nature with 20 miles of waterfront and trails and abundant marshland wildlife. The 72 cottage-style accommodations—designed by Amanda Lindroth—feature Southern-style porches, wicker and textured linen accents, and some suites with large living rooms and river-view soaking tubs; the River House has a wraparound porch. Dining focuses on wood-fired Southern fare using local purveyors, a destination spa offers high-end treatments, and guests can enjoy fitness classes, wellness workshops, fishing, kayaking, and a kids’ Minnows Club." - Devorah Lev-Tov
