    Fogo Island Inn sits at the very edge of the north Atlantic on isolated Fogo Island in Newfoundland. Designed by internationally renowned architect Todd Saunders, the inn’s arresting modern appearance is suggests an iceberg from a distance, with its raised section representing the island’s traditional stilted fishing platforms. But when visitors get close, they see the wooden boards layered together, and it’s clear that everything is handmade. The by-hand ethos covers all the furniture and furnishings, created by local artisans who’ve worked with artists in residence to create contemporary versions of traditional objects.

    Staying at the inn is admittedly expensive, but this is essentially a living art piece that supports the local community and aims to honor the island’s past while carrying it to the future. It feels like a grand home with attentive staff. A private 42-seat cinema, partnered with the National Film Board, carries a movie library for guests to enjoy at any time; there’s also an art gallery, a well-stocked library, and a supply of Gore-Tex hiking boots and other outdoor equipment to borrow. The inn shows off the dazzling landscape, and it’s easy to spend all day at the windows watching the sea while whales breech, icebergs float past, or storms dash on the rocks.
  • Yarra Ranges, VIC, Australia
    You may see a kangaroo bouncing through the vineyards in the Yarra Valley, one of Australia’s premier wine growing regions an hour’s drive from Melbourne. Home to iconic names in viticulture (Domaine Chandon, Rochford Wines, and Coldstream Hills), this nearly two-centuries old wine-growing enclave sits amongst thick forests and clear lakes. Dotted with more than 70 cellar doors (as tasting rooms are known here), it also has trendy restaurants, fruit orchards, organic farms, and a bevy of artists’ ateliers.

    While they all have a down-to-earth Melbourne vibe, its wineries run the gamut from architectural gems to rustic vineyards and include renovated ranches and boutique growers. While the region is best known for its pinot noirs and chardonnays, the area’s rich, volcanic soil, ensures a diversity of varieties thrive here, along with the prime organic produce used by local chefs. Don’t miss De Bortoli, Fergusson, and Yering Station (some of the region’s venerable favorites), and new cellars, such as Punt Road and Mandala Wine. A number of tour companies provide insider access to the wineries and the valley’s other highlights such as soaring above the vines in a hot-air balloon with Global Ballooning. While in the area, you can also meet some of the area’s most interesting locals when you wade in the water with a platypus at Healsville Sanctuary, which is home to some 200 species of native creatures—including kangaroos.
