Cliff House Maine

Cliff House Maine is a 1872 icon on 70 acres of Bald Head Cliff, born anew with 226 nautically glamorous rooms, toothsome restaurants and a 9,000-square-foot spa.

Cliff House Maine isn’t a standard beach resort; instead, it offers a rugged, cliffside escape with dramatic ocean views, emphasizing serene luxury over tropical beach vibes.

There is no bad seat—er, stay—at Cliff House Maine, where every single guest room faces the glimmering sea (with floor-to-ceiling windows). We love that the recently revamped interiors are beachy without being cloying (think tawny neutrals, sedate blue gingham, blonde woods and, of course, shiplap walls). Although rooms at Cliff House Maine are unexpectedly spacious (most start at 440 square feet), it’s worth booking a Premium Oceanview King for the living area replete with a gas fireplace tailor-made for cozy evenings in, under Comphy linens or on the sofa in plush hooded robes. Golfers flock to Cliff House Maine for access to preferred tee times at the semi-private, 18-hole Cape Neddick Country Club, where any game in the salty air is a good one.

You seek a tranquil retreat where the majestic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

As you sip your morning coffee on the terrace, the cool sea breeze carries the sound of crashing waves below, perfectly encapsulating the serene and grizzled beauty of Maine's coastline.
