Fogo Island Inn

Introduction

Wild, remote and spectacularly beautiful, Fogo Island lies just off the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, overlooking Iceberg Alley. Accessed by a scenic 45-minute ferry ride from Farewell, the island offers over 200kms of hiking and biking trails, workshops with local artists, fishing trips, sea-kayaking, whale watching from shore or sea, excellent birdwatching and the chance to see icebergs floating by as you sit on a deserted beach.

An intrinsically Newfoundland retreat, the award-winning Fogo Island Inn has been carefully designed around the rugged landscape and combines warm hospitality, traditions and local craftsmanship with contemporary architecture and amenities. The property’s 29 guest suites feature panoramic ocean views seen through floor to ceiling windows, and each is individually decorated with locally handcrafted furnishings and textiles.

We recommend a minimum 3 night stay if possible, to allow time to explore Fogo Island but also to relax and unwind at the Inn itself. Treat yourself to a massage, catch a documentary at the in-house cinema, or keep watch for icebergs and whales from the rooftop hot tub. Mingle with other guests at the bar, taking in the spectacular views through the immense windows of the dining room, or snuggle down with a good book in the library.

Our 6-night independent holiday Fogo Island Adventure offers 4-nights at Fogo Island Inn or combine a stay with a longer exploration of Newfoundland, on our 15-night Newfoundland Discovery fly drive.

Outside the island is waiting to be explored; borrow one of the Inn’s complimentary bikes or set off on foot along one of the countless hiking trails. A guided tour with a member of the local community is highly recommended, for a truly personal insight into life on Fogo Island.
