Experience Maine Charm: Waterfront Hotels in the Region

Craving breathtaking views, a calm ambiance, and a range of activities for the whole family? A weekend at one of our favorite waterfront hotels is the answer. Staying on the water balances the natural beauty of the area with the fun that comes with the landscape—especially in Maine. Lakes, rivers, and oceans offer not only adventurous activities like kayaking, paddleboarding, jet skiing, and boating, but also the opportunity to sunbathe on the sand, swim, fish, whale watch, or partake in a friendly game of beach volleyball. Back at the hotel, take some time to relax with a spa service by the shore, or indulge in an elevated meal while taking in the scenic surroundings.

Harbour Towne Inn on the Waterfront

As a refurbished Victorian townhouse, this waterfront inn combines old-time allure with modern bed and breakfast amenities. Many of the charming rooms feature private decks overlooking the ever changing harbor—the perfect place to sip on a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of cabernet. Wander out of the lobby, take a two-minute walk along the waterfront, and you’ll arrive in the heart of downtown featuring shops, galleries, restaurants, and theaters. During the day, kayaking, sailing, whale and puffin watching cruises, fishing, lighthouse tours, and more are available for the taking. Trust us, this quaint little harbor won’t disappoint.

The Boathouse Waterfront Hotel

This Kennebunkport getaway takes the term waterfront hotel to a whole new level. Located probably as close as you can get to the deep blue, The Boathouse Waterfront Hotel is unique and accommodating in all the best ways. It’s also conveniently situated just steps from the historic district of Kennebunkport, a coastal town in southern Maine known for its beaches and fresh, delicious lobster. Grab a complimentary beach cruiser bike from the hotel, a beach towel, and maybe even a kayak before creating some unforgettable memories in Maine. 

The Dunes on the Waterfront

Quintessential summer in New England? You’ll find it in this cottage hotel.
