The scene
The Inn is eminently a part of Fogo Island - a place of wood-burning stoves, wry humor, dramatic seascapes, sensible luxury and generous hosts … an honest, unmediated touchstone that evokes a genuine sense of place. In a world of prepackaged experiences and digital noise, the Fogo Island Inn is a place that is at once vibrant and peaceful; it is the wayfarer’s rest between being here and understanding there…
Design
Fogo Island Inn offers 29 distinctive guest suites each an expression of traditional outport design, featuring custom-designed locally handcrafted furniture and textiles. Each suite features a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows offering spectacular views of the North Atlantic. Designed by Newfoundland-born architect, Todd Saunders, Fogo Island Inn is an architectural 'gem' that embodies the new outport aesthetic that has emerged on the island. The Inn's architecture is bold, optimistic and distinctly of this place. Radical in its contemporary design, it still speaks the traditional language of the outports. Names No. 3 among the 'Ten Daring New Buildings Around the World' by Architectural Digest, the 43,000 square foot main building is located on a vantage point, 100 metres from the high-tide mark, and near the village of Joe Batt's Arm on Fogo Island's 'Back Western Shore'.
