Fogo Island Inn, Newfoundland, Canada

Fogo Island Inn, a luxurious hotel with eye-catching design, is set in an austere landscape hundreds of millions of years old off the northeastern coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Fogo Island is a remote yet accessible outport community, along “Iceberg Alley” of the Labrador Strait. The Island is bounded by the rugged shores of the wild North Atlantic Ocean. This luxury hotel in an ultra-modern building is perched on stilts atop jagged rocks, with its stilts and angles, contrasting fascinatingly with the rough slabs of ancient granite and crashing waves that surround it. This is a lodge with a soul, filled with the handiwork of the local people: traditional outport furniture, handcrafted quilts, and woven rugs—once-disappearing arts now given new life and purpose. It’s 13 km from Fogo Island Airstrip and 27 km from ferry services.
