Cliff House Maine Unveils Newly Reimagined Resort
Leading investment firm Rockbridge partnered with Maine hoteliers Marc Dugas and Peter Anastos along with hotel development company RBHD to revitalize Cliff House and carry on its legacy of warmly welcoming both travelers and the local community.

Elemental-Inspired Spa
The traditions and natural treasures of the Maine elements serve as the inspiration behind The Spa at Cliff House, a 9,000 square-foot tucked-away oasis. The Spa will open this fall, combining time-honored techniques and an array of treatments featuring four lavish product lines: Elemental Herbology, Sciote, Red Flower and Zents, which provide unparalleled renewal. Embracing “wild and free” elements of coastal Maine, the spa channels the transformative interplay of water, stone, sky and sand.
