Perhaps the only thing stopping the Fogo Island Inn from becoming the most famous high-design luxury hotel in the world is its remote location on a tiny, sparsely populated island off the coast of Newfoundland. But for the discerning traveler, this air of remoteness is the absolute key to its appeal. This campsite is located just 500 meters—a mere two-block stroll—from this iconic five-star landmark, which stands as one of only a select few hotels in all of Canada to be awarded the prestigious Three Michelin Keys. By booking this site, you are securing the exact same world-class views of the wild Atlantic and the celestial theater of the Northern Lights that guests pay thousands of dollars a night to witness from the Inn’s ultra-modern suites. You’ll be booking this land directly from locals whose families have fished these specific waters for centuries, offering a depth of connection to the North Atlantic and a maritime heritage that no hotel can replicate. This site offers a rare opportunity to experience the rugged beauty of Joe Batt’s Arm in its purest form, where moonlight glistens off the ocean and the Aurora Borealis swirls over a landscape of ancient rock and traditional architecture. Beyond the view, the island is a playground for wilderness exploration. Enjoy whale watching, iceberg tours, trout fishing, and kayaking in the frigid Atlantic. Spend your days beach walking, berry foraging, or wildflower picking, then head across the street to the local museum to immerse yourself in the island's history. For the adventurous, the area is perfect for wilderness cycling, trekking, and bushcraft, followed by a revitalizing cold plunge in the ocean. As night falls, enjoy the ultimate luxury of a fire under the stars for world-class stargazing. You are positioned at the literal edge of the world, closer than it may seem to the Eastern Seaboards of the US and Canada, yet feeling a million miles away from civilization. Whether you are watching 10,000-year-old icebergs drift past your tent or hiking the Back Western Shore Trail, this location provides a high-design perspective without the barrier of a hotel wall.
