Trailborn Surf and Sound Resort

Breezy coastal haven.

Set between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal in Wrightsville Beach, Trailborn Surf & Sound pairs oceanfront adventure with Soundside ease. Beach access, waterfront gathering spaces, and outdoor activities create a relaxed, sociable retreat on the North Carolina coast.

Insider Tip

Make the most of Trailborn’s special location: surf ocean waves and kayak through calm sound waters in the same day before returning to La Duna Paradiso for local seafood.

Where You’re Staying

Guest rooms and suites feature custom furnishings and water views, with many overlooking the Atlantic or Intracoastal Waterway. Select accommodations add furnished balconies, soaking tubs, and additional living space, while the Beach House provides a residential-style stay with multiple bedrooms, a full kitchen, and shared gathering spaces.

Where to Dine

La Duna Paradiso serves coastal Italian cuisine with North Carolina seafood, fresh pasta, and local produce in a dining room with an outdoor deck. Bar Duna offers coffee and pastries by morning, then bites and a drink by night, while seasonal Blockade Surf Bar serves casual poolside fare.

Where to Relax

Relax by the pool, whirlpool, and sauna, or visit the fitness center with Peloton bikes. The Great Lawn and oceanfront gardens invite slower afternoons with fire pits, hammocks, cornhole, lawn games, and seasonal morning yoga.

What to Do

Launch from the Soundside docks for kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, sailing, a sunset boat ride, or an island cruise. Take a surf lesson, fish off the pier, borrow a beach cruiser, or catch summer live music around the resort.
