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.

not senior friendly. Rooms are very nicely decorated

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

The rooms are very pleasing. The little balcony is a treat if there were a view. Problem one: the Resort is close to the water. One the bay side, there is the road between the resort and the water. On the Atlantic side, berms to walk up steep stairs to get a view. now to problems: 1. Upon arrival in the parking lot there is no guidance to where one registers. A kind soul solved the mystery. then one finds out that the three buildings are not connected. 2. If challenged in walking the building's ramp up to registration is a steep order. There is no elevator. The exterior stairs up are also steep. Then one has to go back down and over to the two other buildings with rooms. 3. To get morning continental breakfast it is back up to registration. Option a, is to use the powered coffee in the room. Option b is get it delivered which is cooled by the walk from the registration building. 4. Breakfast ais expensive. $40 for 3 people. English muffins for 2, coffee and one pancake. Butter and syrup were extra. The Duck location is very nice. Live oaks, spacious houses and lots along the one and only road. At the price, yes, the rooms were clean and attended to daily. Very quiet as there is nothing around. Sanderling is okay if one wants a quiet place to stay. But again challenging to seniors. dinner at the lifesaving station featured outstanding crab cakes.

Desmond was the dessert to our day of delight!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

My husband and I are celebrating our 43rd anniversary. We were out and about all day with some strong walks, shopping and touring. By 7:30pm we could not even think of going out! We both said life saving station simultaneously!! It SAVED us!! Our dinner was delicious! Crab cakes and glazed salmon with broccolini, oh yum!But I have to say, Desmond Lewis was the high light! So personable, menu mesmerized, a smile that makes you smile. Great sense of humor, precise and graceful in his service. He made the end of the day as perfect as the touring, shopping, walking and beach! We have already agreed, tomorrow night too, our last evening, we will be back!! Thank you for selecting Desmond, excellent choice on your part! Martha and Benne Hutson

My husband and I spent a long weekend celebrating our 36th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time and loved the Sanderling Resort! Our room was so cute and comfortable and we enjoyed sitting out on our balcony. Very convenient access to the beach. We loved sitting by the firepit in the evening. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Room was very neat, clean and quiet.

We had a wonderful dinner celebrating my parents’ 50th anniversary last Thursday. Fabian, our server, took great care of us, and the food was fantastic as well. We all highly recommend!

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...
