Private beaches at The Sanderling Hotel, offering exclusive seaside relaxation and stunning coastal views

Reinvigorate your mind, body and soul at The Sanderling, where seaside tranquility meets boundless adventure all year round.

Nestled between idyllic stretches of Currituck Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, The Sanderling has remained a welcome respite for guests since first opening its doors in 1985. An intimate oasis on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, the picturesque twelve-acre resort has endeared itself to vacationers seeking the ultimate coastal holiday experience. Sun-lit dunes, sandy private beaches and glistening waters envelop the property which, itself, reflects the region’s rich culture and maritime history. As The Sanderling celebrates its 40th anniversary, we invite you to discover our reimagined oceanfront oasis and make yourself at home.

From its sophisticated redesigned guest rooms, suites and residences to its casual and elevated restaurants, wellness facilities and awe-inspiring grounds, The Sanderling offers guests more ways to relax and reconnect than ever before.
