Le Toiny Hotel - St. Barts

Privacy and exclusivity have been the defining characteristics of Hôtel Le Toiny, member of Relais & Châteaux, since it opened in 1992 on St. Barts' most private and underdeveloped southeastern coast. The 15 pastel-colored bungalows, called Villa Suites, are set on a gentle slope overlooking an island lagoon and the Caribbean Sea. Each is surrounded by vegetation, has its own gated entrance and a red mailbox flag that serves as a "Do Not Disturb" sign. From luxurious interior accommodations decorated in a fresh, vibrant French Colonial style, guests can step from any one of their three glass bay doors and be immediately on their outdoor patio, complete with a private swimming pool and patio furnishings.

Rooms are fully stocked with all necessary supplies for cozy nights in, but Hôtel Le Toiny also offers delectable options for a romantic evening out at their stylish Le Gaïac restaurant, with its roofed open-air terrace that overlooks the ocean and an infinity pool. Executive Chef Stéphane Mazières masterfully plates inspired French cuisine with native Creole accents.

Hôtel Le Toiny's Serenity Spa Cottage offers a delightful respite for pampering treatments, where guests can be immersed in a therapeutic and sensory provoking experience. Guests can indulge in these treatments in the spa cottage or in the privacy of their Villa Suite. With the clear blue ocean beckoning, guests also have the option of a variety of outdoor activities including snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing and deep sea fishing, or a romantic walk along a private beach.
