The Breakwater Inn & Spa

Breakwater Inn is a waterfront boutique hotel and event venue set where the Kennebunk River meets the Atlantic Ocean in Kennebunkport, Maine. Built on original 1880s cottage architecture, the property carries a quiet, timeless character — the kind of place where Adirondack chairs by the water and the rhythms of coastal New England shape the backdrop for every gathering. The venue accommodates a range of events, from tented receptions on the Riverfront Lawn — where up to 150 guests can celebrate beneath a canopy overlooking the water — to intimate dinners in the Private Dining Tavern (up to 36 guests) or a full buyout of Stripers Restaurant for up to 60. The Living Room seats up to 22 for executive meetings or small private gatherings. An onsite event planner coordinates each event, and customized catering is provided through Stripers Waterside Restaurant. All outdoor events take place within a setting shaped by the convergence of river and sea, roughly a mile from the boutiques and galleries of Kennebunkport's Dock Square.
