“One of a kind,” “unforgettable,” and “magical,” are all words readers used to describe the striking 29-room Fogo Island Inn, Canada’s No. 1 resort hotel for the second year in a row. Resting on stilts and overlooking the North Atlantic’s wild surf, the Modernist property, designed by Newfoundland-born architect Todd Saunders, takes inspiration from the area’s fishing communities and craftspeople. The minimalist-chic guest rooms feature furniture and textiles made on the island, like colorful quilts and handmade rocking chairs, and guest activities include fishing and hikes guided by Fogo residents. Said one reader, “The community is so intertwined with the hotel that you cannot help but feel a part of this not-so-small island.”
