Nestled in the tranquil woods of Kennebunkport, Maine, Hidden Pond is a retreat that promises serenity and a deep connection with nature. This luxurious rural resort beckons travelers seeking a romantic getaway, a wellness retreat, or simply a peaceful place to unwind.

As you drive through the lush forests leading to Hidden Pond, you are transported to a world where nature reigns supreme. The resort blends seamlessly with its surroundings, creating an atmosphere of rustic elegance filled with birdsong and rustling leaves.

Hidden Pond features accommodations across 60 acres of pristine birch forest, including two-bedroom cottages, one-bedroom bungalows, and treetop lodges. Each pairs plush bedding, cozy fireplaces, and private porches with natural materials and chic furnishings.

One of the standout features is the Tree Spa, where guests enjoy massages, facials, and holistic wellness treatments while surrounded by the forest canopy.

Dining at Hidden Pond centers on Earth, a farm-to-table restaurant that works with local farmers and fishermen to showcase Maine ingredients. Guests can dine in the rustic dining room or under the stars in the garden, with menus that change seasonally.

Miles of hiking and biking trails, watercolor classes, mixology lessons, and daily yoga invite guests deeper into the landscape. The resort also hosts an annual Mindfulness in Maine Retreat in partnership with Kelly Brabants and Booty by Brabants.
