Connected by a private boardwalk to sandy, three-mile-long Crescent Beach, this five-acre resort reopened in June 2008 after a multimillion-dollar eco-renovation. The revamped property now has environmentally friendly features like recycled rubber floors, all-organic bath and cleaning products, an indoor-outdoor air exchange system, and a solar-panel-heated swimming pool; public spaces, including a clubby lobby lounge, wraparound deck, and the light-filled, Maine-meets-Mediterranean Glass restaurant, were also renovated. All 57 stylish rooms and suites (many with kitchens) have contemporary Maine art, comfy furniture, and bold crimson- and chocolate-colored fabrics; some have fireplaces. While accommodations in the main building are spacious, the even roomier garden and loft cottages are great for families, groups, and pet owners. The resort’s state-of-the-art organic spa (the hotel used a LEED consultant) is a rare find, with a eucalyptus steam room, sauna, and menu including regionally inspired treatments like the hot Casco Bay stone massage.
Room to Book:
Duplex Spa Suites have a kitchen, palatial bath with walk-in shower and soaking tub, double-height windows, and a small balcony overlooking the outdoor pool, indigenous gardens, and Atlantic Ocean.
Insider Tip:
The resort organizes kayak tours with expert guides from L. L. Bean through the adjacent Audubon preserve.
