Cliff House Maine

Showcasing panoramic ocean views, the Cliff House Maine is an upscale coastal retreat about one hour north of Boston. Set upon 70 lush acres of land, the resort is a year-round destination with a variety of activities including tennis, hiking, biking, fishing, cross country skiing, and helicopter tours of lighthouses along the coastline.

Guest rooms and suites feature coastal-chic furnishings with private glass terraces providing expansive water views, bathrooms with plush bathrobes and red flower bath amenities, plush beds with luxury linens, and fireplaces in some rooms. Plus, there are Luxury Spa Suites providing guests with exclusive services and treatments.

The hotel's signature restaurant, The Tiller, is suspended above the Atlantic with ideal views of the sunrises and ocean. Serving farm-fresh and locally sourced ingredients, the restaurant offers classic New England cuisine prepared with recipes passed down from generations. There's an outdoor bar with a double-sided fireplace, and Nubb's Lobster Shack serves Maine lobster rolls, burgers, fried clams, and raw bar favorites.

The resort's 9,000-square-foot spa offers sea-inspired services design to reflect the elements of coastal Maine: water, stone, sky, and sand. There's also a circuit of saunas, steam rooms, and aroma showers.

The property offers meeting and event space, along with an oceanfront setting for coastal weddings. The new Atlantic Ballroom features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Atlantic, and The Tiller's private dining room can host private dinners for up to 25 guests.

The historic resort completed a multi-million dollar transformation in 2016, and will expand with additional guest rooms and adults-only pool in 2017.
