White Barn Inn, Auberge Resorts Collection

The White Barn Inn sits in the quintessentially New England town of Kennebunkport, Maine, long a favourite retreat of the great and the good of the region.

The rooms, suites and cottages are luxurious and spacious, with touches such as cosy fireplaces, fresh flowers and deluxe bathrooms with generous tubs and Molton Brown toiletries. They come with lovely views, and the cottages line the Kennebunk River.

The White Barn Inn's award-winning restaurant is one of Maine’s flagship establishments, and is acclaimed nationwide for its refined take on traditional New England cuisine: enjoy the best of local produce, including fresh seafood, in a sophisticated, formal setting.

Relax in the lounge, by the pool or in one of the best spas in Maine. In this tranquil haven, pamper mind, body and soul with raindrop therapy inspired by Native American traditions, a Thai yoga massage or a Cleopatra milk and honey treatment that pays homage to Egypt: it begins with a Maine honey and sea salt exfoliation before you relax in a milk bath in an infinity-edge soaking tub - bliss!

Experience New England’s famed sunsets with a breakfast picnic on the beach, which is just down the street, join the restaurant’s executive chef for a ‘Crustacean Crawl’ bike ride followed by a lobster dinner, or simply enjoy the area’s natural beauty by bike, canoe or on foot.
