Southern Maine's Newest Spa Offers 3 Night Spa Package – With Lobster Dinner

In the spa building, the 32 oversized guest rooms feature a king bed, sitting area, gas-fired woodstove, wet bar, and the option of spa treatments in your guestroom, all with remarkable ocean views.

Ogunquit, Maine -- Blueberries. Maine wild roses. Juniper. Sea salts. Seashells. Guests not only discover these native accents outdoors, but find them as ingredients in the body wraps, exfoliations and massages offered among the more traditional treatments at the new 20,000 square-foot oceanfront spa building at The Cliff House Resort and Spa in Ogunquit, Maine.

Here guests will find face care, nail services, massage and body treatments, a 75-foot lap pool, whirlpool, sauna, steam room, fitness center, conference and private dining areas. In this new spa building, the 32 oversized guest rooms feature a king bed, sitting area, gas-fired woodstove, wet bar, and the option of spa treatments in your guestroom. Outside, terraces extend to the labyrinth, swimming pool with vanishing edge and a spectacular whirlpool — all with remarkable ocean views. 

The resort’s Spa Sampler Package, through December 6, 2008, includes: 3 nights' ocean-view spa lodging; lobster dinner or choice of entrée with beverage, appetizer and dessert one night; full breakfast each morning; $200.00 spa credit and $25.00 Cliff House money per person. The rates are $744.00 - $921.00 per person, depending on season. 

Spa Magazine said, "The spa treatments were exquisite."  

The Cliff House Resort and Spa opened its doors to guests in 1872. Their premier season fetched $6.00 per week, per person, which included three meals a day! Although the rates have changed and major expansions and updates have transformed the Cliff House over the years, the sleek, modern resort continues to occupy the original hotel site.  

“It’s been owned and operated for 135 years by the Weare family and has always been known for its up-to-the-minute amenities,” explains Joan Dow, the former advertising director, who has been a frequent guest at the Cliff House since 1987.  

Each of the resort's 194 guestrooms features picture windows and decks or balconies in which the ocean views further inspire grand passions. “I think the fact that there are balconies in every room adds a lot of romance. You look at this vast, vast view. It’s a knockout. It’s really incomparable,” Joan says.

The Boston Globe further illustrates this experience when they said, "You can’t beat the view. From our room at the Cliff House (and from every other room in this 133-year-old seaside icon) blue ocean stretched to infinity." 

The Cliff House Restaurant serves up a dinner menu based on Maine raised and locally grown products. A sampling of the dinner menu includes: Cushing Island mussels with Andouille sausage, capers and pomodoro; Maine camp-style diver scallops; locally-harvested oysters on the half shell; white cornmeal dusted calamari; steamed Maine lobster; and seared, line-caught blueberry halibut.
