Maine Island Escapes
There are thousands of islands off Maine’s rugged and romantic coastline, and each is a sparkling treasure all its own. While we encourage you to explore as many islands as you wish, we’ve simplified your search for the perfect island lodging. From classically quaint inns to quintessentially luxurious lodges, you’ll find the island home-away-from-home that’s right for you. A ferry, cruise boat or charter will take you there. And the salt air breezes, ocean views, beaches, recreation – and amenities, great dining and warm smiles of your hosts – will transport you to a world unlike any other.
