Island Accommodations
The Inn at Diamond Cove offers condominium-style rooms with balconies, hardwood floors, and pillow-topped mattresses.

Diamond's Edge Restaurant serves local seafood and New England dishes overlooking Casco Bay. The Lobby Bar Café provides Starbucks coffee and grab-and-go breakfast options. The poolside Cabana Bar offers sandwiches, salads, and beverages. Dinner service runs from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM daily, with waterfront dining available on the deck or lawn.
Recreation & Activities
Guests access a heated saltwater pool, tennis courts, duckpin bowling, and a 24-hour fitness center. The resort fee includes bicycle rentals, while kayaks and paddleboards are available for $50 per two-hour session. Activities include guided tours of Fort McKinley Museum, yoga classes, and basketball. The property features walking trails, secluded beaches, and an indoor game room.
Island Location & Access
Located on car-free Great Diamond Island in Casco Bay, the inn is accessible via Casco Bay Lines ferry from Portland's Maine State Pier or by private boat. The full-service marina accommodates boats with 30/50 amp electrical service and water access. Golf cart transport meets guests at the dock for transfer to the property. Self-parking is available at Portland's Municipal Parking Garage.
Guest Services
Services include luggage handling, golf cart transportation from the marina, and van-accessible parking. The resort fee covers high-speed Wi-Fi, bottled waters, and access to the fitness center and pool. The property offers accessible guest rooms with roll-in showers and visual alarms. Meeting spaces total 5,500 square feet, with partnership programs available for team-building activities on nearby Cow Island.
“The island setting immediately impresses: a car-free environment encourages exploration by bicycle, included as a perk. Lodgings in a former military fort offer a unique sense of place, while waterfront dining focuses on local seafood. I think the range of activities, from kayaking to historical discovery, makes this a standout destination for families and couples alike.”
