Perched dramatically on Bald Head Cliff in the coastal town of Ogunquit, The Cliff House Resort makes the most of Maine’s seasonal bounty. Fresh local blueberries and wild roses appear both on the menu and in the spa, where native botanicals are incorporated into treatments. The property began as a family hotel in 1872 when the Weare family established a retreat on this rugged shoreline; today the founder’s great-granddaughter, Kathryn Weare, oversees a modern resort featuring luxury rooms, top-tier fitness facilities, an outdoor stone labyrinth and a vanishing-edge pool.
Dining highlights showcase regional ingredients—blueberry-accented dishes complement the restaurant’s seafood offerings—while the spa emphasizes locally inspired therapies such as the Maine Wild Rose Body Wrap. Guests can enjoy peaceful walks along the shore or relax poolside, taking in the sweeping ocean views.
Beyond leisure amenities, The Cliff House Resort also serves as a well-equipped conference destination. Its amphitheater seats more than 150 and is fitted with comfortable, high-tech chairs that include tablet arms for laptops, data ports and power outlets. The resort also offers banquet space, meeting rooms and a ballroom, making it suited to both intimate gatherings and larger business events.
