Luxury holidays in Southern Maine

When to go

Maine offers activities year-round from swimming on the coast to skiing in the mountains. Summer – late May to early September – is peak season along the coast, and many coastal shops and restaurant close in the off-season.

Getting there

• Planes

  Portland International Jetport (www.portlandjetport.org) is best for exploring the southern and mid-coastal regions. Bangor International Airport (www.flybangor.com) is convenient if exploring northern Maine.

• Automobiles

  A car is essential for exploring. There are reputable car-hire options at both airports.
