Tree Spa at Hidden Pond Resort in Kennebunkport, Maine is nestled in the treetops overlooking a birch forest. The three treetop spa rooms are located eight feet above the ground and connected by a catwalk woven through the trees. Guests can choose from a selection of massages, facials and body treatments that focus on the restoration of health, energy and wellness using the resort’s signature brand of soothing oils and lotions. Treatments incorporate ingredients picked fresh from Hidden Pond’s gardens, including rosemary, mint, and lavender. Spa Director Mary Weisheit takes us behind the scenes at the tranquil spa:

Why You’ll Love It: Surrounded by a tranquil and peaceful environment that captures the healing properties of the earth, guests are immersed in nature and exposed to treatments using ingredients indigenous to the area. The warm and welcoming atmosphere—as well as the option to customize their own treatment using organic herbs, natural oils and techniques designed to relax, renew and create a sense of overall well-being—are what keep guests coming back. Our goal is to continue restoring the spirit of guests as they explore their own potential for true balance and wellness.

Bonus: Guests are blown away by the unbelievable beauty surrounding us in this special spa setting. We are surrounded by nature—nothing else. As a bonus, we serve herbal water with mint, basil, chamomile, and other ingredients grown right in our restaurant’s gardens.

Spa Snacks: The restaurant on the property is Earth. It’s a food lover’s dream and located across from the spa separated by our pool.

Insider’s Favorite: A favorite treatment of mine is our Hidden Pond Holistic Signature Facial. This holistic facial embraces beauty rooted in wellness, understanding that radiant skin is a reflection of how our skin feels and is taken care of. Our expert estheticians help to customize guests’ facials and identify each person’s skin personality. Utilizing a detoxifying lymphatic brushing, relaxing aromatherapy, and massage with targeted active ingredients from plant stem cells and peptides into the skin, this facial gives your skin just what it needs. You will leave glowing and feeling fantastic! (75 min, $195)

Luxurious Treatment: The Slow Down and Breathe Deeply Tree Spa Signature Treatment. This signature treatment begins with true relaxation as the therapist helps bring awareness to the guest’s breathing. A unique essential oil blend featuring Maine white pine balsam fir and red spruce fills the room, followed by a body treatment that features fresh coconut milk and local Maine honey for a gentle body exfoliation, as well as a relaxing scalp massage.
