Hotel Details
216 Islander Drive, Emerald Isle, North Carolina 28594-2429 United States

Hotel Overview

On the white sand of Emerald Isle, North Carolina, the Lighthouse Suites, BW Signature Collection, opens onto a 12-mile stretch of the Crystal Coast.

Relaxed beach-boutique character makes the most of the Bogue Banks shoreline, with sunbathing, surfing, and easy days on the water just outside the door. Comfortable suites give families and couples room to settle in for a getaway. The boutique scale keeps the stay relaxed, with the sound of the surf never far from the room.

Crystal Coast aquariums, museums, and go-carting fill the days off the sand, while the western Bogue Banks beaches handle the rest. It makes an easy, relaxed base for a beach vacation, a honeymoon, or a quick weekend escape. The white-sand beaches of the western Bogue Banks stretch for a full twelve miles here, with calm, shallow water for easy family swimming and steady, rolling waves for surfing and bodyboarding just beyond the dune line.
