Welcome to Spring at Inn by the Sea
Dear friends of Inn by the Sea:
Welcome spring! After a snowy winter, gentle ocean breezes are carrying the promise of warmer days ahead. We're preparing for another vibrant spring and summer in Maine, where longer days and sunny skies invite endless hours of outdoor adventure along the shore.
We’re kicking spring off with a nod to Ireland with an Irish inspired feature for St Patrick’s Day, March 17th. And you won’t want to miss the debut of the fresh Sea Glass spring menu launching the next week. Join us for a luscious Easter Brunch on Sunday April 20th complete with an egg hunt and a visit from the Easter Bunny for the little ones. In May, as the Boulevard tulips burst into color, we’ll celebrate Moms in style with an enchanting Mother’s Day Brunch on Sunday, May 11th. Our fresh, local ingredients and delectable ‘food for all philosophy’ is designed to bring people together around the table.
April vacation means the Inn will be buzzing with energy. Over the break, we’ll have fun family activities including evening s’mores by the campfire, activities for the kids and our fleet of bicycles will be ready for coastal adventures. The heated outdoor pool opens on April 18th, just in time for school break- you won’t want to miss the radio-controlled boat races!
As we eagerly await summer, let’s take a moment to savor the magic of spring. Whether it’s a peaceful stroll along the beach, sipping cocktails by the campfire, unwinding with a rejuvenating spa treatment, or indulging in a meal in Sea Glass, there’s plenty to love. While we hope you’ll relax, don’t forget to explore our daily events—join us for yoga, children’s activities, or perhaps a workout in the cardio room followed by a little pampering in Spa.
After twenty years of sustainable resort operations, the Inn is now planting a tree for every guest reservation, with plans to plant 7,000 trees annually through our partnership with Hotels for Trees. Our initial focus is on reforesting efforts for the Spring Creek area in Colorado, which was ravaged by fire and requires over 300,000 trees. This initiative also engages indigenous communities, with saplings sourced from Apache Nation nurseries in Arizona and New Mexico.
This year we were thrilled to be recognized in the US News and World Report 2025 Annual Hotel Rankings as the #1 Resort, and the #1 Hotel in Maine, underscoring the incredible work of our team in crafting extraordinary vacation experiences. The top ranking is a testament to the passion, dedication, and commitment of every team member who strives to make each guest's stay memorable. We were also honored by Travel + Leisure, selected for their World’s Best list, Conde Nast Traveler’s Top New England Resorts, I Prefer Members’ Choice Award and Sea Glass again achieved the second- tier award from Wine Spectator with a Best of Award of Excellence. We are grateful to you, our wonderful guests, for continuing to share your Inn by the Sea experiences.
We can’t wait to welcome you back this spring to experience elegant hospitality at Inn by the Sea. Book your getaway today at www.innbythesea.com or call our reservations team at 207.799.3134.
