NEWFOUNDLAND ACCOMMODATION & TOURING / Newfoundland & Labrador
Fogo Island Inn
Fogo Island Inn is on an island, off an island, at one of the four corners of the Earth.
Situated along Iceberg Alley, all 29 suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows opening
onto the most powerful ocean on the planet. The Inn delivers genuine Newfoundland
hospitality in a stark, unforgiving wilderness. Furnished with handmade quiet luxuries,
it serves as a refuge from the numbing uniformity of modern times. Fogo Island’s still-
wild world has caribou to track, wild berries to pick, nature trails to explore, as well as
birds and sea life to behold.
The islands off Newfoundland have an independent spirit and a deep-rooted culture,
and Fogo Island embodies both. This lodge is not only owned by a charity that benefits
the local community, but it was also designed by Newfoundland-born architect Todd
Saunders to draw out modern elements of centuries-old outport architecture. Fogo
Island Inn is a 100% social business and a community asset. There is no private gain;
all operating surpluses are reinvested in the initiatives of Shorefast, a registered
Canadian charity dedicated to building economic and cultural resilience on Fogo
Island.
