Canada’s unique Newfoundland and Labrador province is laden with wonders – from the striking green scenery to colourful fishing villages – but Fogo Island, found just offshore of Newfoundland’s mainland, offers retreat in the truest sense of the word. You’ll find the Fogo Island Inn on the tip of the island’s north shore, with nothing but the North Atlantic Ocean ahead.
Here, airy-yet-cosy rooms overlook rustic landscapes or ocean views. No matter the season, there’s something to savour – be it warm, wildflower-blanketed summers, snowy winters or berry season in the autumn. Spring, in fact, brings with it majestic icebergs that bob along the water in front. All this, and yet nothing else for miles.
Rooms start at £1,258 per night.

Farm stays don’t come much chicer than this. A winding country drive (or a 15-minute helicopter) from New Zealand’s capital of Christchurch leads to one of the South Island’s most unique stays – a working coastal farm with a collection of luxury villas overlooking sparkling Pacific ocean views or rolling countryside.
The isolated location offers only stunning seascapes for company, though this is a place to make yourself truly at home in nature – since each accommodation is equipped with everything you need (and more) to settle in. The only sound for miles is the crashing of the waves.
Villas from £955 per night.
