Harborside guests have two stellar options when it comes to enjoying an oceanfront pool. Our on-site outdoor pool boasts 180-degree views of the harbor, along with an expansive pool deck with a hot tub, plush loungers, and plenty of umbrellas. And, when you need to recharge after time in the sun, order poolside sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and colorful libations from Splash Pool Bar. Alternatively, the historic Bar Harbor Club is located next door and features an oceanfront pool with magnificent views and all the necessary amenities: loungers, a hot tub, and tasty food and beverages.
