Visitors to Maine have many lodging options, staying in a full service Maine resort provides the ultimate vacation, since you have so many amenities and offerings in one central location.

Maine resorts are often located on spectacular grounds: on the Maine coast, inland on Maine’s lakes and ponds, or at the base of Maine’s ski mountains. Resorts in Maine provide accommodations ranging from a lodge room or suite, to a condominium, cabin or cottage that serves as your home away from home.

Some Maine resorts provide extensive organized activities like fishing lessons from a Maine Guide, hikes, daytrips and excursions, while other resorts offer water sports, canoeing, kayaking and fishing right on property.

On top of the typical heated pools and hot tubs you’ll find at most resorts, a few of Maine’s resorts even offer 18-hole golf course, live entertainment, poolside cafes, outdoor activities, on site dining, and spa treatments for guests to enjoy at their leisure.

You will find there are Maine resorts to suit every budget from full service with casual to fine dining, extensive grounds and amenities including golf, hiking, skiing, spas, saunas, shopping and services like those at Sunday River and Sugarloaf resorts, to more rustic hunting and fishing, and rafting camps that provide a wilderness experience.

A few traditional Maine resorts still offer an MAP plan, serving three meals a day in the main lodge along with providing organized camp activities for the kids and families.

Along Maine’s coast there are some luxurious waterfront resorts with four and five diamond lodging, gourmet food, extravagant spas and exceptional service.

Among all the amenities and activities offered at a resort in Maine, there is little reason to leave the resort during your vacation!
