On the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean, just north of Duck, North Carolina, Sanderling Resort calls itself “uniquely positioned to provide a truly life-altering Outer Banks vacation experience.” The views — of both the ocean and Currituck Sound — give guests the opportunity to savor both sunrises and sunsets over water. The weather is balmy, the sunshine warm — and the accommodations are 4-diamond quality! Family-friendly (note the shots of kids swimming, painting, and having a generally great time) and casual, the resort can also put on “the Ritz” for weddings, as you can see from these images of beachfront celebrations. With restaurants that offer fine dining, serene spa treatments, and resort pools that can go from boisterous to blissfully quiet, the Sanderling offers something for everyone.
Lodgings include king-bedded rooms with balconies — or oceanview suites with multiple levels, separate bedroom and living areas, and unobstructed shoreline vistas. No matter what your perfect vacation entails, the concierge at Sanderling can arrange to make it happen — but even if you’re at Sanderling for a mix of business and pleasure, it’s an ideal place to conduct both. Multiple meeting rooms give you space for a dozen or a hundred (or more); have a morning meeting over chicken and waffles, an evening conference over steak or seafood, or a dessert celebration in a room bedecked with lights or outdoor tables on a seaside deck. Once business is over, stay long enough for a quick ride on the waves, a rejuvenating massage, or one of those patented sunsets: it’s all waiting for you at Sanderling.
