Tucked away on 60 peaceful acres of birch forest in Kennebunkport, Maine, Hidden Pond is the kind of destination where families can unplug from everyday routines and reconnect with each other…and with nature. Combining the carefree spirit of a classic summer camp with refined luxury, this enchanting retreat offers experiences that delight every generation.
Days begin with fresh air and endless possibilities. Families can spend mornings paddling complimentary kayaks or stand-up paddleboards, exploring nearby waterways, or borrowing colorful beach cruisers for a ride through the property before hopping on the resort's shuttle to nearby Goose Rocks Beach. Back at the resort, children can channel their creativity during Kids Art Hour, or embark on a self-guided nature scavenger hunt complete with a prize at the finish. The family-friendly Lodge Pool is the perfect place to cool off after a day outdoors, while evenings bring everyone together around the crackling campfire for toasted s'mores and live music beneath the stars. Seasonal activities like guided nature walks, watercolor lessons, and stargazing make every stay feel unique.
While younger travelers are happily entertained, parents can embrace the property's thoughtful wellness experiences. The Tree Spa is one of Hidden Pond's signature attractions, with elevated treatment rooms nestled among the birch trees that create the feeling of relaxing in a luxurious treehouse. Customized massages, restorative facials, and body therapies incorporate organic herbs, botanical oils, and ingredients inspired by Maine's natural landscape, while fresh rosemary, lavender, and mint harvested from the resort's gardens add an aromatic finishing touch.
Wellness extends far beyond the treatment rooms. Guests can join outdoor yoga and meditation sessions, experience the calming Japanese practice of forest bathing, or create personalized bath soaks and nourishing body scrubs during interactive wellness workshops.
Dining is equally rooted in wellbeing at Earth, the resort's celebrated farm-to-table restaurant, where seasonal menus showcase vegetables and herbs harvested daily from Hidden Pond's organic gardens alongside fresh Maine seafood and locally sourced ingredients. Every meal celebrates the region's bounty while reinforcing the property's commitment to mindful living.
