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
Great relaxing stay! 5 Stars!
We had a wonderful stay at the Sanderling Resort! The location is stunning, with gorgeous views of both the ocean and the sound. Our room was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the whole atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. We loved the beach access, pools, and delicious food at the on-site restaurants. A perfect spot to unwind – we can’t wait to come back!

Relaxing beachfront vaca at Sanderling
We loved this beachfront resort in Duck. It was very family friendly and convenient having chairs, umbrellas and beach towels available. The staff members were friendly (we loved our waitress Renee especially!) We had a few great meals at Life Station which was the onsite restaurant. Our room was ground level near the family friendly pool and we would choose to stay there again, it was nice walking right outside to it. The morning walk views were amazing on the beach, worth getting up early for. The room itself we stayed in was two queen beds and a large bathroom, we really used the little deck with rocking chairs off our room a lot, nice to be able to leave the beach gear out there and enjoy the fresh air. Overall, a really pleasant experience and laid back vibes which is what we were hoping for.

best place to stay in the outer banks
awesome place to spend quality time and an exelent place to take your dogs. everyone loves them and they can be with you at the beach at any time as long as they are well behaved

Resort is fine - but stay away from the Life House Restaurant.
The resort main lobby - rooms, pools - the beach, and the attendant at the beach - were all fine. Not sure that it is all worth the price. Stay away from The Life Saving Station - Dinners - they were out of 2 of the items we ordered - (6:30 PM) and Breakfast was a 2 hour ordeal where other tables that were seated after us - were being served before I could get someone to bring me sugar for my coffee.

Overpriced and underwhelmed
Place was dirty and no one was paying attention …. Do not come here if you are expecting a Pinehurst type of experience..this is not for you

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...
