Dreaming of a couples trip to beautiful Maine? We don’t blame you. This is a gorgeous state with lots of romance. To help make your travel planning easy as can be, we’ve compiled 6 of our favorite romantic getaways in Maine.

Whether you’re in the mood for rugged adventure in the wilderness or pampering in luxury, we’ve got an option you and your significant other are sure to love. 

Go sailing on a traditional schooner

Want to take an awesome trip together that is something unique and different? Why not go sailing on a classic schooner? 

We had this experience sailing on the J & E Riggin and it was amazing. You spend several days exploring the beautiful Maine coast near Rockland, helping with the sails, enjoying gourmet food, and generally just relaxing. It’s a wonderful trip.

Now, it’s definitely not your standard romantic trip. Sleeping below decks is more ‘cozy’ than romantic, and you’ll be sailing with a dozen or so other guests, so this type of trip won’t allow for much alone time.

But I can promise that you will spend quality time together and have a terrific adventure that bonds you in a new way. Read all about what it’s like to sail on a Maine Windjammer here. Book stay at the York Harbor Inn 

Perhaps a classic bed & breakfast is more your style? There are plenty of romantic Maine getaways that offer this. One of our favorite hotels to recommend is the York Harbor Inn, which is right on the southern coast of Maine and is absolutely beautiful. 

This is a quiet area where you can get away from it all and enjoy nature. We especially suggest renting the tower room, which offers a private balcony overlooking the water. The views are gorgeous and the inn has terrific food. 

Combine that with the great area of York, Maine, and you’ve got the makings of an ideal trip.

Hartstone Inn & Hideaway 

There’s nothing like a sweet Victorian B&B to make for a great romantic getaway. The Hartstone Inn & Hideaway is located in a lovely part of Maine: Camden. 

Although you’ll never need to leave your classic-styled room—or even the hotel itself with its restaurant, spa, and cozy common areas—you are within easy reach of the Camden and Rockland areas, so there is plenty to keep you busy.

Go Glamping in style near Kennebunkport

Last on our list of Maine romantic getaways is a glamping spot! In the town of Kennebunkport (a wonderful destination in its own right) is an awesome campground that we’ve stayed at. This is Sandy Pines Campground and it boasts dozens of incredible glamping options, including luxury tents, camp cottages, and more.

Sit out by your private campfire before retiring to a beautifully-decorated private spot under the stars. 

You might think of camping as a rustic experience, but glamping turns it up a notch! Plus, you’re close to all of Kennebunkport’s activities including chilled-out beaches and gourmet restaurants. Its really the best of both worlds when you stay at Sandy Pines, and I promise that glamping is incredibly romantic.
