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
Desmond was the dessert to our day of delight!
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

Wonderful Anniversary get a way!
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.

Wonderful service, beautiful setting, and delicious food!
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!

Our wonderful honeymoon in the outer banks
This resort is absolutely amazing. The staff are very kind and courteous and helpful. We had such interesting conversations with the staff. The sunsets are gorgeous. Couldn’t have had a better trip if we tried. This was our honeymoon. The staff was so accommodating without being overbearing.

The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Our server,Fabion Ellis was very thorough with the daily specials and was on top of the service. We were a party of 10 and he handled everybody’s request perfectly! Fabion was amazing considering we were a large party. Thank you Fabion!!! Please give him a huge pat in the back!!

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...
