At the point where the river spills into the Atlantic Ocean sits a captivating Kennebunkport hotel — The Breakwater Inn & Spa. One of the Port’s oldest inns, our original 1880’s Maine cottage architecture evokes the soothing tranquility of a bygone era — where the allure of a good book or a glass of wine enjoyed in a chair pointed toward the water never goes out of style.
​
The Breakwater Inn & Spa blends the intimacy of a coastal bed and breakfast with all the amenities of a luxury boutique hotel. Inn Rooms (stair access only) combine classic nautical elegance and water views with modern comfort. Spa Rooms (elevator available) overlook the Kennebunk River and offer easy access to the Breakwater Spa, a sanctuary designed to soothe the spirit. The spacious River Top Cottage features a deep soaking whirlpool and views of yachts and boats as they glide out to sea. And our onsite restaurant, Stripers Waterside Restaurant — lauded as one of the best dining experiences in Maine—is a favorite of our hotel guests and Kennebunkport residents alike.

Kennebunkport Maine

Please select a video.

The pleasures of downtown Kennebunkport are a short distance from The Breakwater Inn & Spa. Guests love strolling into town to explore the quaint cafés, art galleries and upscale boutiques of Dock Square. Or for a more scenic jaunt, head away from town to follow Parsons Way as it trails Ocean Avenue along the craggy shoreline of the Atlantic.

​Petite Arundel Beach – often referred to as Colony Beach – is mere steps from the inn. A short drive brings you to the almost mile long stretch of three distinct beaches that make up Kennebunk Beach: Mother’s Beach, Middle Beach and Gooch’s Beach. Gooch’s Beach is a favorite of body surfers, swimmers and skim boarders, while the more secluded Mother’s Beach draws families with small children who appreciate its smaller size and sedate tides.
