Fogo Island Inn, Newfoundland, Canada Perched on a rocky outcrop with commanding views over the wild Atlantic Ocean, this sharp-angled masterpiece – designed by renowned Canadian architect Todd Saunders – is like nowhere else on earth. The 29 luxury suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows, while the inn also houses a movie room, heritage library and art collection. Meal times are gastronomic extravaganzas that showcase local ingredients caught from the sea or harvested onshore, while island escapades include hiking, skiing, ice-skating and fishing. Finish your day soaking up the mesmerising wilderness vista in a rooftop hot tub. Tatyana Leonov
