About the Hotel
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the tranquil Currituck Sound, The Sanderling Resort embodies the essence of coastal elegance and modern sophistication. A reimagined retreat on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, The Sanderling offers transformed accommodations, each featuring private balconies or patios with sweeping ocean, sound, or resort views. Thoughtfully redesigned to reflect its stunning surroundings, the resort blends contemporary style with coastal charm. Beyond its serene setting, The Sanderling offers elevated amenities designed for relaxation and indulgence, from rejuvenating treatments at the spa to serene oceanfront pools and private beach access. Guests are invited to embark on an inspired culinary journey, highlighted by the highly anticipated debut of Theodosia, an all-new dining concept by acclaimed chef and New York Times best-selling author Vivian Howard. The renewed Beach House Bar provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, craft cocktails, and sunset gatherings by the firepit. Just minutes from the charming town of Duck and a short drive to the iconic Currituck Beach Lighthouse, The Sanderling serves as the perfect gateway to exploring the best of the Outer Banks.

Reviews for The Sanderling

Beautiful property with an amazing location and great staff. We spent a week on the beach which area amazing and very well maintained and enjoyed the two excellent and chic restaurants at this hotel!

Such a treat!
We always stay at the Sanderling Inn when we are in the OBX. It is a lovely respite for couples and families. It is quiet and more secluded, yet close to Duck and Corolla, if you want activities. The renovation is very tastefully done. All new outdoor chairs and umbrellas look great and give the resort a nice upgrade. This time, I was able to get a massage at the spa, which was wonderful. A suggestion would be that the Lifesaving Station could use a change in their dinner menu. Breakfasts there are very good. The staff throughout the resort is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a stay at the Sanderling!

WONDERFUL ALL AROUND
Wonderful resort even in pouring rain which blasted the buildings blowing shingles off, forcing room changes for many people. The staff handled everything beautifully even though the level of stress with such extreme weather created anxiety. Then, a slip for me on the wet steps the next day led to another worry - again the staff was so caring, ensuring I was safe and ok, checking on me that night and the next day...just incredible heart-felt care. A big big thanks to Shekira at the front desk and Peter at the lobby for their actions to be of help. Traveling solo is usually fine but when not so easy, with a surprise fall, it was made easier thanks to the Sanderling team...I would highly recommend a stay here and will return.

At the Sanderling Inn, in North Carolina we stayed in a luxurious room, had breakfast delivered to our room daily, dinner for two at a spectacular restaurant on the property and two individual (and extraordinary) massages. We loved the resort...
