Le Toiny
St Barths, The Caribbean Highlights
- One of the Caribbean’s most celebrated hotels – A member of prestigious Relais & Châteaux, Le Toiny was selected for the Condé Nast Traveller Gold List 2026 and named among the Caribbean’s 25 best resorts by Travel + Leisure. Its reputation rests on exceptional privacy, understated luxury and an intimate atmosphere rarely found at this level.
- Exceptional private pool suites – Spread across 42 acres of tropical hillside, the hotel’s 22 villa suites offer remarkable seclusion, with private heated swimming pools, expansive terraces and sweeping Atlantic views. Beautifully redesigned in 2024, the interiors combine contemporary French elegance with relaxed Caribbean living, while the larger villas provide generous space for families.
- An extraordinary beachfront retreat – Reached by a short Land Rover journey from the hotel, Le Toiny’s secluded Beach Club sits beneath mature sea-grape trees beside one of St Barts’ wildest beaches. Spend the afternoon enjoying Mediterranean-inspired lunches, relaxing beside the swimming pool or watching surfers tackle the Atlantic waves. The beach itself is unsuitable for swimming.
- Outstanding culinary credentials – Executive chef Eric Desbordes brings experience from some of the world’s finest kitchens, including Michelin-starred establishments, to Le Toiny’s restaurants. At La Table, his contemporary menus combine Japanese precision with Latin American influences, while the Beach Club offers beautifully prepared grilled seafood and Mediterranean dishes in a more relaxed setting.
- A spectacular, unspoilt setting – Unlike the bustling resorts around Gustavia and St Jean, Le Toiny occupies a wonderfully peaceful stretch of St Barts’ southeastern coastline. The dramatic landscape, crashing Atlantic surf and surrounding tropical vegetation create an atmosphere of almost complete seclusion, yet the island’s celebrated restaurants, boutiques and beaches remain within easy reach.
- Indulgent experiences and intimate relaxation – Enjoy treatments at the Serenity Spa Cottage, housed in a historic building close to the beach, or arrange a massage in the privacy of your own villa. Between leisurely breakfasts on your terrace, afternoons at the Beach Club and exceptional dining, Le Toiny offers a deeply relaxing escape without sacrificing any of St Barts’ sophistication.
Why we love Le Toiny
Le Toiny feels more like a collection of private villas than a hotel. We particularly love the contrast between the peaceful hillside suites and the wonderfully laid-back Beach Club, reached by a shuttle down to the wild Atlantic coastline. It's a side of St Barts that many visitors never see, and a refreshing alternative to the island's more glamorous, high-profile resorts.

Good to know
How to get there
St Barts has no international airport, so most visitors arrive via St Martin, followed by a spectacular 15-minute flight to St Barts’ small airport. Alternatively, you can connect through San Juan in Puerto Rico, with a flight of approximately one hour. Private charter flights can also be arranged. On arrival, Le Toiny is around 15–20 minutes away by road, with transfers arranged by the hotel.
Are children welcome?
Yes, children of all ages are welcome, and the larger suites and two-bedroom villas work particularly well for families. Babysitting can be arranged, and there is a children’s menu at the Beach Club. However, Anse de Toiny is exposed to strong Atlantic currents and is unsuitable for swimming. Families wanting calm, sheltered beaches will need to explore elsewhere on the island.
Giving back
Le Toiny occupies a 17-hectare tropical palm grove, with its suites spread across the hillside. The hotel has introduced measures to reduce single-use plastics, conserve water and prioritise seasonal ingredients and local suppliers.
