A Nordic spa, set amidst the pristine lakes and mountains of western Maine. The property provides a sophisticated yet unpretentious destination where guests can unwind with traditional spa therapies throughout the year.

The Rangeley Nordic Spa draws inspiration from the communal culture of ancient baths and Finnish saunas to create a truly unique experience to this area of Maine. Visitors have the freedom to choose from a variety of activities, from saunas to water-based therapies, that are attuned to the balmy heat of summer or the snowy climate of winter. Intimate in scale, there is room for both coming together or more private meditation. Simple yet beautiful materials set the tone for a deeply tranquil experience; stone, wood, and water reflect the beauty of the natural environment outside and echo the design of both traditional Maine lodges and Scandinavian spas. With views of the surrounding beauty from every space, and the ability to move seamlessly between interior and exterior, the spa compels visitors to fully enjoy the unique Maine landscape.
