The brand’s fourth hotel, Trailborn Surf & Sound was designed in collaboration with design studio Post Company, whose work includes MOLLIE Aspen, and Casa Bonay in Barcelona. As part of the extensive renovations, the firm breathed new life into the public spaces, guest rooms, and food and beverage concepts to create an on-property experience deeply inspired by Wrightsville Beach and the hotel’s unparalleled location.

Highlights include Juliet balconies with views of the coastline, a wood-accented entryway with a minimal wood and stone-clad desk, and lobby space spanning French doors leading to the beach; all marking a new ‘hotel design experience’ for the area, and signalling the next chapter for a historic building which has existed since 1897. The arrival of Trailborn Surf & Sound marks a new era for the hotel that celebrates the charm of its past while introducing modern luxury, elevated design, and an upgraded experience for both guests and locals.

Guests can also enjoy variety of exclusive experiences and programming, such as surf lessons, boat cruises, and fishing trips, as well as sailboat, surfboard, paddleboard, and kayak rentals. At the resort, guests can also rent complimentary bikes or reserve pool cabanas, beach chairs and umbrellas. The property will also host a variety of events for guests and locals, such as live music, yoga, bonfires and s’mores, beachside barbecues, and culinary events. For families, Trailborn Surf & Sound hosts kids’ programming like treasure hunts and partners with North Carolina Aquariums on an educational series.

Food and beverage concepts will include Italian and Mediterranean-inspired restaurant La Duna, the resort’s destination restaurant featuring fresh seafood and house-made pasta. Bar Duna, the hotel’s forthcoming lobby bar, will offer both bar and lounge seating and serve as a perfect spot to grab a coffee or pastry in the morning, take a break from the sun for a casual lunch in the afternoon, or have a laid back cocktail before or after dinner, while the renovated Blockade Surf Bar — a nod to the previous resort — will serve a selection of bites and dishes for lunch and dinner, along with a full bar featuring a selection of cocktails, frozen drinks, and a selection of local beers on draft.

Welcoming back their neighbours and guests, offering an experience so exceptional that it will keep them coming back time and time again, Trailborn Surf & Sound Wrightsville Beach is an inspired new concept for North Carolina’s hospitality scene.
