Cliff House<\/a> is a Southern Maine resort that has offered vacationers hospitality for over 150 years. It has been completely re-imagined and transformed into one of New England\u2019s most stunning hotels.<\/p>\n

The scenery is as majestic as any Edward Hopper painting. The seventy windswept acres sit atop Bald Head Cliff. Combine million-dollar views with posh digs and you\u2019re in for the ultimate nature-meets-nurture weekend getaway.<\/p>\n

Everyone from couples in search of a romantic getaway to families is warmly welcomed, so the appeal is broad based and the vibe inclusive. If you\u2019re seeking a year-round refuge from the hurried pace of metropolitan life, look no further.<\/p>\n

The Digs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Great

Cliff House is dedicated to shrinking its environmental footprint. They have implemented single-stream recycling and utilize solar panels; you won\u2019t find plastic water bottles in your room. Instead, each floor is equipped with a station where you\u2019ll find pour-it-yourself hot and cold beverages, fresh fruit, newspapers and other goodies. These stations add to the resort\u2019s convivial feel. You won\u2019t be the only guest poring morning coffee while wrapped in the resort\u2019s signature black-and-white checked robes.<\/p>\n

Get Outdoors:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Pool\"

The resort is just minutes from Ogunquit\u2019s famed Marginal Way, one of Maine\u2019s most beautiful footpaths. The charming town of Ogunquit is a magnet for artists and the quaint shops offer Maine-made art and crafts.<\/p>\n

Each afternoon, guests gather on the lawn for old-fashioned games such as beanbag toss. Indoor and outdoor swimming pools and hot tubs add refreshment. The fire-pit is just the spot to make s\u2019mores under the stars. Weekend yoga is an energizing option.<\/p>\n

If the Maine weather is a tad chilly, relax by the fireplace in the common area and watch the tide roll in.<\/p>\n

The Eats:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Fire

The Spa:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Spa at Cliff House is garnering rave reviews for a very good reason. The extensive menu leans local, inspired by the surrounding elements. Choose the pampering 80-minute Seacoast Rose Massage and every inch of you will be enveloped by the fragrance and healing properties of this rejuvenating coastal flower. Ask for gifted massage therapist Joanne; like your dream lover, she intuitively listens to exactly what your muscles need. It\u2019s a blissful, soul-nourishing escape.<\/p>\n

Take the time to relax in the sun lounge before and after your treatment, and you\u2019ll enjoy dramatic views of the cliff and cove. The steam and sauna are available to all hotel guests.<\/p>\n

Get to Wells, Maine from NYC<\/strong><\/h2>\n
