Draw on history. Design new memories.
Discover Lumina on Wrightsville Beach, a reimagined resort that draws on the storied history of a beloved beach pavilion. Designed in a bygone era to showcase the marvel of electricity, the original Lumina shone so brightly that sailors navigated their ships by it – and generations of beach-lovers navigated their social lives around it.
We recapture that spirit today in a resort space lit with camaraderie, beckoning visitors and locals alike with dazzling hospitality. Every guest room here enjoys an ocean view; most have balconies and some have bunk beds to better accommodate families. Recreation opportunities abound, with three pools and direct beach access, a hammock garden, even a beachfront fitness center, plus a full slate of onsite activities and entertainment. The best food on the beach is right here, too, from fine cocktails and cuisine to bar bites and local brews.

This is a wonderful vacation spot for couples, families, and those who just need a beautiful getaway. You can select sunset or ocean views depending on preference. Sunset views set you up for beautiful sunsets in the evening plus ocean views; the ocean view is wonderful for sunrises and general ocean views. The Solstice restaurant is reasonably priced and food is delicious . They have a bar with selection of beers and wines. Outside seating is available during warmer months. The coffee shop is yummy until 10 pm. On the grounds, they have a warmed indoor pool; outside they have a pool and hot tub. There are also many rocking chairs, hammocks, and general relaxation areas. Service is great with lots of smiling faces. Hotel is accessible to various activities, local restaurants, and stores.

Great location and friendly helpful staff, they really went the extra mile to provide me their Wi-Fi access for my company laptop. I wnded up having to use the hotspot off my phone. Breakfast with made to order omelet was nice and of course the view! Although my room didn't have a direct ocean view, the views around the hotel were amazing. Gym met my needs, set of dumbbells, cable machine and cardio treadmill and bikes were in a good sized room so we weren't too cramped. In room fridge microwave and coffee maker was nice to have.
