Fogo Island Inn sits on the northern shore of Fogo Island in Joe Batt's Arm, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The location places guests in a remote environment where the Atlantic Ocean and Labrador Sea offer views across to Little Fogo Island. The site was chosen for its minimal environmental impact, as the island's unique climate makes native species recovery from disturbance particularly slow.
The architecture reflects Fogo Island's vernacular traditions. The main building is painted white to resemble a traditional Fogo Island saltbox house and is built on stilts up to 30 feet high, paying homage to local building practices developed over centuries of fishing settlement. The inn comprises a main building of approximately 4,500 square meters and an outbuilding that houses storage, laundry, and mechanical facilities.
The inn offers 29 guest rooms and suites distributed across four floors of the main building. Room types include the Labrador Room (32 square meters), Newfoundland Room (38 square meters), Fogo Island Family Suite and Loft Suite (up to 78 square meters), and specialized suites such as the Sunrise, Sunset, and Flat Earth suites. All rooms are positioned to view Little Fogo Island across the Labrador Sea.
The first and second floors contain most public amenities, while 21 guest rooms occupy the third and fourth floors. The building features an elevator, and at least one room and common areas are accessible to guests with mobility requirements.
The inn's restaurant overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of whales and icebergs. The kitchen emphasizes local seasonal gastronomy, sourcing 80 percent of ingredients from Fogo Island and surrounding waters. The dining experience is included as part of the full-board stay.
The main building includes Finnish-styled rooftop saunas designed by Rintala Eggertsson Architects, a fitness room, and a hot tub. Additional facilities encompass a cinema run in partnership with the National Film Board of Canada, a library curated by Dr. Leslie Harris, and an art gallery overseen by Fogo Island Arts.
On-site and nearby activities include yoga, biking, hiking, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, cross-country skiing, fly fishing, ice sports, snowshoeing, wine tasting, cooking classes, pottery workshops, boating and sea fishing, and cultural experiences led by members of the local community. Complimentary bike rentals are provided.
Fogo Island Inn is designed for guests seeking slow travel and immersion in a remote landscape. Children are welcome from 8 years old, and family suites accommodate groups. The three-night minimum and full-board format appeals to travelers seeking a destination stay rather than a brief visit, as well as those interested in connecting with local culture and engaging in outdoor pursuits across the island's seasons.
