Greater Portland & Casco Bay offer inns, resorts for a memorable romantic getaway

An historic inn on the beach in one of New England’s loveliest parts of the coast: That’s definitely where you want to go for your romantic getaway. The Black Point Inn is one of the original grand hotels to call beautiful Prouts Neck home. Today, the coast’s beaches, ocean and Saco Bay surround this unpretentious inn on three sides, meaning many of its 25 spacious rooms and suites have water views. Enjoy more stunning scenery when you dine in The Chart Room on seafood classics or sit on adjoining Adirondack chairs on the sweeping lawn, watching the sun set over the water. Take out an inn bike or kayak, swim in the heated outdoor pool, or stroll along the romantic Cliff Walk. The inn can also arrange for in-room massages.

Let the Portland Harbor Hotel be the headquarters for your romantic getaway, and you will not be disappointed, from your suite’s large whirlpool spa tub to a cozy sitting area and fireplace to the tranquil coastal decor and charming city and garden views. Dine on fresh seafood and sizzling steaks at the hotel’s Harbor Bistro + Terrace, finishing with a cocktail on the terrace or by the fire pit. With valet parking and sterling service, the hotel is everything you expect from a luxury inn, with a location that allows for a variety of romantic excursions, from lighthouse sails to foodie tours to hiking, biking and kayaking. Shop the Old Port district’s eclectic boutiques, feast on a lobster roll, then watch the sun set over the bay.

Romance and an island: what a perfect pairing! At the Inn at Diamond Cove, a short, scenic boat ride from Portland’s charming Old Port district takes you to Great Diamond Island, where you’ll settle in to your luxurious room with a fireplace, balcony and sumptuous linens. Explore the island’s secluded beaches by hiking, kayaking or biking, or just relax in the Cabana Bar with a cocktail. There are also tennis courts, a hot tub, heated outdoor pool and a fitness room and yoga studio. Enjoy a spectacular sunset from the Diamond’s Edge Restaurant near the marina or an evening glass of wine by the fire pit. Day trips include sailing cruises, lighthouse visits and picnic lunches in lush forests or on romantic beaches.
