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
Stunning views, great place for a family vacation to enjoy OBX without Nags Head crowds
The Sanderling provided a great space for us to enjoy a long family weekend. The hotel sits in a beautiful section of Duck with great views. The newly remodeled rooms are beautiful, and sitting right on the beach is convenient for a dip in the ocean or a stop off at one of the resort's pools. We look forward to our return and visiting the flagship restaurant that is soon to open.

Relaxing, peaceful getaway with gorgeous views
The Sanderling Resort and Spa provide an excellent getaway experience for me and my daughter! Excellent service, a beautiful setting, a lovely room with the most comfortable beds… every aspect of our visit was wonderful! Our day at the spa was amazing and the stress just melted away!

For $600 a night we agree, not worth it
We stayed on a third floor King suite. The couch and chair were dirty and small and uncomfortable. Stains on the carpet. Plastic cups and awful in room coffee in the little plastic slide dispensers. No grab bars in the shower, which is all tile. An older person would have a difficult time with bathing. We did like the large bathroom, private oceanfront porch, and the door separating the bedroom from the living room. Great pillows. The restaurant across the street was wonderful with nice servers. Everything on the property is lovely except the room itself. But if you're charging Ritz prices off-season, you guys need to step it up big time. Starting with a Keurig coffeemaker and real cups and glasses. We live in eastern NC, and The Sanderling and the great Left Bank and Lifesaving Station restaurants used to be the destination on the north Outer Banks. We hope someday it will be again.

Anniversary Celebration
Our bed, pillows, and linens were ample and very comfortable. The bath and roomy shower were clean and well stocked. We had several breakfasts and one dinner at the Life Saving Station and all were perfect. Pool and fitness center were not available to us as the renovation wasn't complete. Information on the website was not up to date.

Would Not Go Back
Would Not Go Back. Common areas were soiled and not maintained. Carpet in stairwell in our building was dirty and looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in days. Some type of bugs were all over the window sills, door frames and outdoor balconies. There was a small table in our room for dining that only had a single chair.

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...
