The Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport combines 135+ years of history with contemporary comfort as a 5-star family resort overlooking the Kennebunk River where lobster boats moor between sea trips.
Classic and Modern Wings
The Nonantum Resort offers accommodations across two distinct buildings - the historic Carriage House Inn featuring Heckman's Pub and 95 Ocean restaurant, and the contemporary Portside Lodge with Latitudes Outdoor Bar and Grill.
Fresh Morning Feast
Every morning begins with a hearty breakfast buffet featuring fresh fruit, house-baked goods, and hot dishes prepared by the resort's pastry chef.
Waterfront Activities Hub
The property features kayaking, paddleboarding rentals, lawn games, and the Rugosa - a restored 1963 oak-planked lobster boat offering 90-minute coastal tours.
Strategic Beach Location
Located 31 miles from Portland International Jetport, The Nonantum Resort provides easy access to Colony Beach and Goose Rocks Beach via complimentary shuttle service.
“The Nonantum Resort strikes a rare balance, offering historic charm alongside modern comforts in its Kennebunkport accommodations. Award-winning chefs craft culinary experiences from locally sourced ingredients, and families find both spacious rooms and diverse activities tailored to all ages. It's a picturesque riverside venue with a sustainable approach that enhances any stay.”
