Maine resorts are perfect for recreation-oriented travelers interested in connecting with both the outdoors and the comforts of home with extra amenities. Maine vacationers opting for resort locations usually want a variety of guest accommodations and on-site activities and amenities — such as swimming pools, golf courses, fitness centers, spas, tennis courts, ski slopes, white water rafting, and marinas.
For families, resorts offer more to do after a day of exploring the coast or the lakes and mountains of Maine — like game rooms, playgrounds, and pools for kids; or movie nights for kids and cocktails or nightcaps for adults.
Numerous resorts in Maine have dramatic coastal or lakeside settings with outdoor activities like fishing, surfing, kayaking, group outings, and sunbathing right on their properties. See our list of resorts — including campgrounds and RV resorts — throughout the state.

More About Resort Amenities in Maine
Visitors to Maine have many lodging options, and 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. They provide accommodations that range from a lodge room or suite to a condominium, cabin, or cottage.
Some resorts in Maine provide extensive organized activities, like fishing lessons from a Maine guide, hikes, and day trips. Meanwhile, other resorts offer water sports, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing on their properties.
On top of the typical heated pools and hot tubs you’ll find, a few of Maine’s resorts offer 18-hole golf courses, live entertainment, poolside cafes, outdoor activities, on-site dining, and spa treatments for guests to enjoy at their leisure.
Maine Resorts for Every Budget
You will find resorts in Maine to suit every budget. There are full-service properties with casual or fine dining, extensive grounds, and amenities like golf, hiking, skiing, spas, saunas, shopping, and specialty services like those at the Sunday River and Sugarloaf resorts. Maine also has rustic options for hunting and fishing, as well as rafting camps that provide wilderness experiences.
A few traditional Maine resorts still offer a MAP plan, serving three meals a day in the main lodge and organizing camp activities for kids and families. And along Maine’s coast, there are some 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!
