Destinations
Bar Harbor and the surrounding Acadia region offer plenty of spots to relax, refresh, and feel pampered. Here are eight spas and salons worth visiting.

Whether you're visiting Bar Harbor for a few days or a week, taking time for a massage, haircut, or facial makes the trip even better. Tree of Life Day Spa, Massage Bar Harbor, and Soma Novo are among the top-rated massage spots in the area. You'll also find skilled hairstylists and beauty professionals at salons across Bar Harbor and nearby towns like Ellsworth and Blue Hill. This guide covers eight local favorites that locals and visitors trust.

Tips for Your Visit

Many spas and salons in the area book up during peak summer season, so reserve ahead if possible. Online booking through websites or a quick phone call will lock in your time. Bar Harbor's spas are clustered downtown or a short drive away in nearby Ellsworth, Brewer, and Blue Hill. Parking is generally available, though downtown spots fill up quickly. If you're visiting in shoulder seasons (May or September), you'll often find easier availability. Bring a list or photo of what you'd like done at a salon so your stylist can understand your vision from the start.

Reighn Hair Salon is in Trenton and holds a 4.9-star rating from 31 reviews. Stylists like Valerie have loyal clients who return year after year, trusting her to tackle any color or cut challenge. One visitor, Abbie, demonstrated flexibility when a wind storm and power outage complicated her schedule, yet she stayed communicative and fit in two cuts anyway.

Cozy SPA

See main listing

Cozy SPA is located on Union Street in Ellsworth and offers full-body massage at a reasonable price point (one-hour massage around $70). The 4.2-star rating from 27 reviews is more mixed than other spas on this list, with some visitors reporting a poor welcome. However, several recent five-star reviews highlight therapists who use their forearms, hands, knuckles, and elbows intuitively rather than applying one-size-fits-all pressure. One small-framed visitor appreciated that the therapists adapted their technique rather than pushing too hard. Reviews suggest the massage experience itself is strong, though calling ahead to confirm availability is wise.
