Perched dramatically atop Bald Head Cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Cliff House Maine is an iconic luxury oceanfront resort on the southern coast of Maine that perfectly blends coastal heritage with contemporary sophistication. Originally opened in 1872 and reimagined in 2016, this landmark property spans 70 oceanfront acres near Ogunquit — just over an hour north of Boston — offering breathtaking views of the sea and the historic Nubble Lighthouse.


Each of the resort’s 226 guest rooms and suites embraces a refined New England aesthetic, featuring serene coastal palettes, handcrafted furnishings, and private terraces with sweeping ocean views. From sunrise yoga to evenings by the firepit, the atmosphere feels both rejuvenating and indulgent — designed for travelers who crave a sense of place and connection to the Maine coast. The property’s modern spa, world-class dining at The Tiller Restaurant, and seasonal experiences like lobster bakes and thalassotherapy treatments make Cliff House Maine a year-round destination for relaxation and renewal.


Whether you’re visiting for a romantic seaside escape, wellness retreat, or weekend getaway, Cliff House offers an experience that celebrates Maine’s rugged beauty and luxurious comfort in perfect harmony.
