With rugged landscapes, fabulous food and stacks of activities for travellers of all ages, Maine is one of the USA’s most appealing states for an adventurous, fun-filled holiday. Accommodation options are tremendously wide-ranging, with everything from historic B&Bs to lavish luxury hotels with gourmet eateries and extensive facilities. Many of the best places to stay in Maine are clustered in the towns and villages which line the state’s picturesque coastline, but our recommendations also include some wonderfully remote cabins and lakeside hideaways for active explorers looking to immerse themselves in nature.
If you’re into artsy, bohemian cities, head to Portland and look out for a vast array of exciting annual events. Other popular coastal spots include affluent Kennebunkport, pretty Southport, Camden and Rockland (both the latter two in the heart of Mid Coast Maine). Whilst the wonders of Mt Desert Island — including the famed Acadia National Park — are best discovered from Bar Harbor or Southwest Harbor.
Maine is bursting with things to see and do. Culture and history-minded travellers can pop into museums, stay in heritage houses, and take walking tours of fascinating port towns. Foodies will find that the state is at the forefront of the farm-to-table movement. Whether you’re a fan of trendy eateries, simple dockside spots or fine dining restaurants, there’s fantastic food to be had all over Maine. Don’t miss the chance to feast on lobster or clams, of course!
Outdoorsy explorers, too, will find themselves spoilt for choice. There are myriad cycling, horse riding and hiking trails, as well as opportunities to try kayaking, fishing, paddle boarding, sailing or water skiing. Play a round of golf or a game of tennis, spend your days wildlife-spotting in verdant forests or river estuaries, or kick back with a craft beer on the beach at the end of the day.
More understated than many of the USA’s great states, Maine is a brilliant choice for an adventure as a couple, group or family. Our recommendations for the best places to stay in Maine really does promise something for everyone!
