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.

Fabion E. Was phenomenal. He was a great server and gave us the insight we were looking for! I cannot recommend a better location for dinner! The Sanderlings resort had fine dining and a great sous chef Thomas. Thank you for the hospitality!

From the time we arrived and stepped inside the lobby we knew this would be a great place. Sheldon greeted us and opened the doors upon arrival. The front desk staff was smiling and super friendly. From Dwight at the Pool House Bar, Balfred at the beach stations and the entire staff at the Lifeguard Station Restaurant, the staff/personel throughout the property, they were all just awesome and always welcoming! We enjoyed our stay. Super quiet, great beach chairs/umbrellas, excellent food and nicely updated rooms this will be our goto spot in the Outer Banks area. Well done Sanderlin Resort. We will be back next year. - Roger W. (Canton GA)

The Sanderling was a beautiful resort. There are a lot of renovated areas. It has a very modern yet classic feel with the decor and set up. There are a lot of different activities available for families, especially when unpredictable beach weather occurs. The restaurants have delicious food with wonderful staff. They went above and beyond to accommodate us as we arrived during closing. The two pools and two hot tubs were a hit with adults and kids. The staff throughout the entire resort were very friendly and helpful. The complementary cold waters in the lobby and at the beach entrance were very appreciated as was the morning coffee in the lobby. The atmosphere at the resort is very welcoming, clean, comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to a future visit.

The Sanderling is the best and most peaceful place to stay in the Outer Banks! I used to go as a kid with my parents and it continues to impress. All of the staff at the onsite restaurants were phenomenal (Sabrina in particular). Whether it was breakfast or lunch, she always remembered my husband’s gluten allergy and was so so kind. They’re very accommodating of allergies and go out of their way to make your stay wonderful.

The 3 night stay was great being on the ocean and the Sanderling Team was super at making sure you have what you want. They don't have irons, but steamers so just know that in advance. Had a wonderful, third floor ocean king with deck area for morning coffee. Wonderfull view of the Tranquility Pool and the Atlantic Ocean. The beach is behind the dunes.

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...
