Fogo Island Inn has been a driving force in fortifying culture and place by catalyzing a renaissance of traditional building techniques.

Dining options include berries that grow in barrens and bogs; edible plants plucked from shorelines and woodlands; and vegetables and rhubarb fresh from the garden or overwintered in grass-topped root cellars.

Resort Location

Fogo Island Inn

Fogo Island is big and small – big enough to be interesting, yet small enough to know. Newfoundland’s outport communities, including Fogo Island, offer specific and pure forms of hospitality and social richness. The people of Fogo Island are deeply bound up in the nature and culture of their Island, and have continued to devise clever solutions to the wicked problems of modernity. They have worked with the ocean, with the land, and with one another, in order to continue to live, work, and thrive in one of Canada’s oldest European settled communities at the edge of the North American continent.
