The town of Emerald Isle invites you to visit what locals call, “Paradise.” Located in the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, Emerald Isle is home to beautiful white-sand beaches and endless sunshine. Right on its shores is the Islander Hotel & Resort, the only oceanfront property in Emerald Isle.
To make your beach vacation even more special, Islander Hotel & Resort recently renovated its property. Their $2.5 million dollar makeover included adding 20 new rooms with balconies and updating its rooms with modern amenities such as complimentary wireless internet service, a flat-screen television with satellite channels, and upscale bath amenities.
"The Islander Hotel & Resort is a special place and we believed it was time to update the look and feel of our public spaces, while adding needed guest rooms and amenities that will appeal to both the leisure and business traveler," said Samer Hamad, Developer and Home Owner of the Islander.
Along with room renovations, the Islander also updated its lobby, Grand Ballroom, conference room, business and fitness centers, and upgraded the outdoor oceanfront courtyard used for weddings. Their ballroom now hosts up to 250 people, with a dance floor and stage, large windows with great views, and a bar. This makes the Islander an ideal choice for your business event or wedding. Celebrate in the elegant Grand Ballroom or plan an outdoor ceremony on or overlooking the beach.
No matter the reason for your North Carolina getaway, when you stay at the Islander Hotel & Resort, you can indulge in as much relaxation or adventure as you’d like. Hang out at the pool overlooking the ocean or escape from the sun in a hammock in one of the poolside cabanas. 
Delight in a cup of coffee on your balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Spend a day on the beautiful beach relaxing, building sandcastles, or reading a good book. Islander’s premier location makes it all so easy. For more active endeavors, reserve a free bicycle and explore other parts of the island, enjoy swimming and kayaking, or try surf fishing for sea mullet, drum, blue fish, redfish, speckled trout, or even flounder. After a fun-filled day, wander into town and try some of the many great restaurants. There are plenty of opportunities waiting for you at Emerald Isle!
Whether you are looking for a family getaway, the perfect beach wedding venue, or having a meeting away from the constant interruptions of the workplace, Islander Hotel & Resort and its newest guest rooms, banquet space, and updated decorative design and landscaping offers you an unforgettable North Carolina experience.
