Best Spas in Maine

8 minute read
Wellness
Maine's best spas offer everything from deep tissue work to full-day pampering. Here's where to book your next treatment.

Maine has some genuinely excellent spas, and they're worth seeking out whether you're visiting the coast or passing through a smaller town. You'll find everything from boutique massage studios focused on therapeutic work to full-service day spas offering facials, haircuts, and nail care. We've gathered the twelve most highly rated and well-reviewed spots across the state. Read on to find the right fit for your budget, location, and type of treatment.

Tips for Your Visit

The best spas in Maine fill up quickly, especially during peak summer travel season and before holidays, so book ahead if possible. Many places offer online booking, which makes planning easier as a visitor. If you're driving to a massage appointment, allow extra time for parking and arriving a few minutes early so you can settle in without rush. Several studios offer tea or refreshments while you wait, so you can ease into the experience. Winter is shoulder season for many spas, so you might find easier availability between November and March. If you have medical concerns (chronic pain, pregnancy, recent injury), mention them when you book so the therapist can prepare and adapt the session to your needs.

Senator Inn & Spa

See main listing

Located in Augusta at 284 Western Ave, the Senator is a casual hotel that also houses a serene spa with thermal amenities. The property features a sauna and steam room (both notably spacious), along with a hot tub and fitness center. Guests consistently praise the locker room atmosphere, which one visitor described as having appealing Egyptian or Italian-inspired design elements that enhance the relaxation experience.

The hotel runs events smoothly, with staff like Stephanie handling setup, catering, and service with attentiveness. That said, check ahead about amenity availability before booking, as maintenance closures do happen and can be disappointing if you're counting on the pool or hot tub. Rooms are comfortable with fireplaces in some units. The on-site restaurant is refined and casual at once.

Therapists like Julia, Mary, and Abrianna come highly recommended for attentiveness and skill.

First-time visitors often sign up for memberships after their initial visit. The space is professional and focused, not luxe, but the quality of the work is what keeps people coming back.

Plus Spa

Plus Spa is located at 11 W Sunrise Hwy, 2nd Floor in Freeport. The studio offers 60-minute massages with hot stone add-ons at affordable prices, especially if you book through deal sites like Groupon. The space is clean, relaxing, and cozy with friendly staff.
