Merry & Maritime

Make your holiday getaway a little more coastal this year.
At The Sanderling, Christmas comes with a distinctly Outer Banks twist. Waiting in your room is a beautifully decorated crab pot Christmas tree, inspired by the commercial fishing traditions that are woven into the history and character of our coast. What began as a practical part of life on the water becomes a uniquely Sanderling holiday tradition—bringing the spirit of the Outer Banks into your own private retreat.
Settle in and enjoy a festive welcome basket filled with everything you need for a cozy night in, including hot cocoa, holiday toppings, seasonal snacks and sweet treats. And because the best holiday memories are the ones you take with you, you’ll also receive a Sanderling ornament to bring home and hang on your tree for years to come.
Whether you’re gathering with family, planning a coastal winter escape or simply looking for a little holiday magic by the sea, this is Christmas the Sanderling way—warm, welcoming and unmistakably Outer Banks.
