# Hidden Gem Boutique Hotels You've Never Heard Of
While the major luxury chains dominate headlines, some of the most memorable hotel experiences can be found at independent boutique properties that fly under the radar.
## Secret Treasures
### Fogo Island Inn, Canada Perched on stilts overlooking the North Atlantic, this 29-room inn on remote Fogo Island offers contemporary design, community-focused programming, and some of the world's most dramatic views.
### Dar Ahlam, Morocco This 14-suite property near Ouarzazate offers a completely personalized experience with no set menus, no fixed schedules, and adventures tailored to each guest's desires.
