Resorts

Spacious suites in a resort close to beaches, amusement parks, golf and rope courses, kayaking and canoeing: That’s the setup for a perfect Maine vacation. Village by the Sea is a year-round condominium hotel resort that borders the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, featuring modern amenities from fully stocked kitchens, balconies and patios, and comfy living rooms to indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, firepit with patio, basketball court, fitness center, barbecue grills and game room. Two-bedroom suites are about four times the size of an average hotel room, so you can really relax before heading out to a whale-watch or lighthouse tour; play golf or tennis; or explore nearby Wells Beach, the seaside villages of Ogunquit and Kennebunkport, York’s Wild Kingdom and other attractions.

When the original visitors (including Boston’s Cabots and Lodges) came to the Cliff House, they were seeking the ultimate seaside vacation. It’s why guests still return every year to the classic coastal resort, with its luxurious rooms and suites (all with private balconies, all with ocean views), world-class service and amenities. The resort has indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs, all salt water, a tranquil spa with jaw-dropping ocean views, a state-of-the-art fitness center and movie theater, lovely gardens and dining options that are a delight for the eyes and the palate. The Tiller, the resort’s signature restaurant, sits suspended above the water, offering a menu based on fresh local ingredients from fishermen, farmers and purveyors. Area activities include hiking, biking, kayaking, skiing and snowshoeing.
