"You arrive to find an isolated, beautifully rugged oasis that few have even heard of. Your local guide is a retired fisherman who takes you berry-picking and shares tales from his storied life, like when the collapse of the Atlantic cod fishery changed everything for him. Dinner was caught and foraged that day, and you indulge around a table with other travelers who feel like friends. At night, you might find yourself at a kitchen party with the staff playing accordion music and sharing homemade bread. With its focus on regenerative travel, Fogo Island Inn offers an experience that’s raw and intimate rather than staged and curated—and that’s what makes it magic." - Kristin Winkaffe
"When you hear “island resort,” you likely wouldn’t picture this modern, stilted hotel overlooking the blustery North Atlantic in Newfoundland. It feels far removed (it’s an hour ferry then a drive) from mainland Canada, and that’s the point. The rugged coastline is centered in the hotel’s design and is perhaps best appreciated while solo soaking in the rooftop hot tubs." - Fiorella Valdesolo
"I encountered stunning design merged with a dreamily remote Newfoundland setting." - Rachel Chang
"On remote Fogo Island I found the inn to be a purposeful, community-owned project aimed at economic resilience, blending dramatic ocean views, daily-changing menus, and wilderness excursions like geological hikes and traditional forest boil-ups. What resonated most was the warm local community—boat builders, quilters, and storytellers—whose hospitality and cultural practices truly define the stay." - CNT Editors
"A striking 29-room retreat designed as an engine for local economic and cultural resilience: profits are reinvested into community initiatives, and the property exemplifies a model of sustainable, place-first hospitality that helped revitalize a remote island." - Jennifer Flowers
