One of the very best ways to save money on a spa vacation is to travel off-season -- go to Arizona and Florida in the summer, and the Northeast in the winter. The Cliff House Resort and Spa in Maine, which is so close to the ocean it's like being on a cruise ship, has a great deal on its "Spa Sampler" starting October 23. Stay in the beautiful new adults-only Spa Wing, where every room has ocean views and a cozy gas-fired woodstove. Three nights is $672 per person (double-occupancy) -- including a $200 spa credit per person, full breakfast each morning, one lobster dinner for two and $25 in Cliff House money per person. A four-night "Spa Sampler" is $905 per person, with all the same goodies and a $300 spa credit per person.
You can save even more if you add a third person for just $378 (three-night) or $412 (four-night). Girlfriend getaway, anyone? Singles are $1025 for three nights or $1377 for four nights. A two-night "Spa Romance" package for two is available at $494 per person including breakfast, one lobster dinner for two, and a $120 spa credit per person, with the option of an in-room massage with sparkling wine, a rose and truffles. Maine sales tax and service charges will apply.
These offers lasts through December 10, when the resort closes for the winter. They are also available December 26-31, when the resort reopens for the holidays.
The Cliff House Resort and Spa , about an hour and a half drive from Boston, is an unusual property. It's been privately owned by the same family since it opened in 1872. That’s why it has 70 irreplaceable oceanfront acres that the big corporate owners can only drool over. The original Cliff House is long gone, but new modern buildings are laid out near the cliff’s edge. Read more about The Cliff House Resort and Spa in Maine.
