Perched on the ancient rock of Fogo Island off the northeastern coast of Newfoundland, Fogo Island Inn stands as one of the world’s most singular places to stay — a bold architectural statement rising above the North Atlantic on stilts, as if in quiet defiance of the elements. Designed by Todd Saunders and completed in 2013, its 29 individually crafted rooms offer floor-to-ceiling views of iceberg-laden waters, boreal forests, and skies unmarred by light pollution.

Far more than a luxury retreat, the Inn operates as a community-centred social business under the Shorefast Foundation, channeling proceeds directly into the cultural and economic resilience of the island’s centuries-old outport communities. Guests are immersed in Newfoundland’s living heritage — through locally sourced cuisine, handmade quilts stitched by island artisans, guided foraging walks, and encounters with a landscape that feels genuinely untouched. A member of Relais & Châteaux and recipient of three MICHELIN Keys, Fogo Island Inn redefines what it means to travel with intention, depth, and consequence.
