| The
Outer Banks:
Part of the Outer Banks's charm is the remoteness
of the area. Since it’s accessible only by ferry or by driving over
one of the bridges that connects it to the mainland, once you're
here, you feel far removed from the rest of the world. But it's
really not that far. Join us in Duck as we venture for the first
time onto this spectacular set of islands. |

| The
Sanderling Resort & Spa on North Carolina 's Outer Banks touches
the shores of both the majestic Atlantic Ocean and the serene
Currituck Sound. Located near, Duck, N.C., This North Carolina
resort, The Sanderling, with its luxurious spa overlooking the
sound, is the Outer Banks only true resort. Its unique natural
environment and secluded ocean beaches offer guests an exclusive
setting in which to relax and unwind. Quite simply, The
Sanderling is the ultimate Outer Banks vacation spot. The
low-rise, cedar shingled buildings that comprise the resort pay
homage to the traditional building forms of coastal North
Carolina, and provide guests with luxurious accommodations, a
lavish spa, first-class conference facilities and a variety of
memorable dining experiences, putting together the perfect North
Carolina vacation.
Offering miles of unspoiled ocean beach just 5 miles from the
charming village of Duck and adjacent to the Pine Island Audubon
Sanctuary, The Sanderling is truly unique. As our guest, you'll
appreciate what seasoned travelers have always known-the
enjoyment of a destination is often increased by its separation
from the ordinary at this North Carolina resort. |
