#Fogo Island Inn │ Newfoundland **Fogo Island Inn sits on an island, off an island, at one of the four corners of the Earth. Every one of our 29 one-of-a-kind guest rooms and suites has dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the wildest and most powerful ocean on the planet. A stimulating relief from the numbing uniformity of modern times, the award-winning Inn is built on the principles of sustainability and respect for nature and culture. The Inn is a community asset, and 100% of operating surpluses are reinvested into the community to help secure a sustainable and resilient future for Fogo Island, Newfoundland.** **Fogo Island Inn was designed by Newfoundland-born, Norway-based architect, Todd Saunders. The 43,000 square-foot Inn is perched on stilts and hugs the North Atlantic coastline. All rooms showcase the richness of their locality and clearly express a modern take on traditional Newfoundland outport design and décor. The Inn’s architecture is bold, optimistic, and distinctly of this place. Though radical in its design, the Inn still speaks to the traditional outport Newfoundland aesthetic.** **Our rooms are the loving expression of our philosophy. We know you are making an investment to journey and to stay at Fogo Island Inn. We promise you will experience hospitality unlike anywhere else. Our 29 guest rooms were designed to carry forward the richness of outport traditions in concert with the very best contemporary design elements. The world outside our walls, the natural world, receives love, attention, and respect equal to that which we show our guests. Our food is grounded in this place and every meal, from daybreak through midnight and all points in between, is crafted using ingredients fished, farmed, and foraged right here.** **Guest room sizes vary from 350 to 1 100 square feet, with rooms on the third and fourth floors all including wood-burning stoves. The ceilings of the rooms on the fourth floor follow the dramatic slope of the roof, resulting in the three most easterly rooms enjoying double volume spaces with the sleeping area located on the mezzanine. Great care was taken to provide exceptional sound-proofing in order to ensure that guests hear only the sounds of nearby ocean waves. All of the Inn’s rooms were created using only natural materials such as wood, wool, cotton, and linen. The only plastic in the guest rooms is the telephone.** **** ***Dining*** Our menu is an expression of our local foodways which are an integral part of the fabric of this place, which include berries that grow in barrens and bogs; edible plants plucked from our shorelines and woodlands; and vegetables and rhubarb fresh from the garden or overwintered in grass-topped root cellars. Our menus change across the seven seasons. As we’re a hard-scrabble place, we frequently use time as an ingredient, through bottling, pickling and fermentation techniques. We marry modern sensibilities with deep-rooted culinary traditions. And as well as exciting your palate, our fare is nutrient-rich and healthful. Every dish tells a story of here, of the planters, fishers, hunters and foragers who share their bounty with us. **** ###Activities (depending on seasons) - Pottery-making - Mer Workshops - Fish and Ships - Guided Geology Hike - Nature Hike - Introduction to Boat Building - Jam and Jelly Making - Traditional Boil-Up - Whale Watching - Visits with our Newfoundland Dog - Trip to Change Islands - Stargazing - Rooftop Hot Tubs - Bird Watching - Rowing Punts - Rooftop Sauna - Hike to the Great Auk Sculpture - Self-Guided Hikes - Visit Gardens & Roof Cellars - Picking Wild Berries - Caribou Watching - Cinema - Beach Walking - Bicycling - Bonfire Nights - Architecture Tours - Cod Fishing - Quilting Workshops - Art Workshops - The Museums of Fogo Island - Snowmobiling Under the Stars - Cabin Experience - Snowshoeing - Snowmobiling - Ice Skating - Seal Watching - Exclusive Marine Encounter - Harbour Row - MV Island Explorer Boat Tour - Iceberg Warching - Guided Flora & Fauna Encounters - Pond Fishing - Ocean Swimming ****
