Among the most unique—and spectacularly situated—luxury hotels on St. Barts, Le Toiny is also the only one on the island’s raw southeastern “Côte Sauvage” oceanfront.
Sumptuously transformed following 2017’s Hurricane Irma, Hotel Le Toiny offers singular accommodations with immense natural beauty and a sense of luxurious isolation.

The slopeside setting overlooking the Caribbean and a limited number of luxe suites and villas give Hotel Le Toiny—St. Barts’ only Relais & Châteaux property—an exclusive feel.
It also happens to host some of the best dining in the Jewel of the Caribbean.
In this guide, we’ll run through the basic details of this lauded hotel, from its location to its accommodations and amenities. You’ll also find some useful insider tips and answers to frequently asked questions.

Hotel Le Toiny St-Barth enjoys quite a distinct environmental context compared to other St. Barts luxury hotels. It’s perched on a hillside above Anse de Toiny, southeasternmost of St. Barts’ many beautiful bays. This seaboard was historically called Côte Sauvage: the “wild coast” of St. Barts.

The viewshed encompasses large swaths of undeveloped slope and rugged headlands, with the glistening palm grove of Toiny Beach below.
The hotel is situated roughly on the other side of the island from the capital of Gustavia. Given the compactness of St. Barts, though, it’s only about a 20-minute (winding) drive away.
As one of the island’s most prestigious luxury hotels, Hotel Le Toiny St. Barts nestles its guests in the lap of secluded luxury. The private suites and villas are amenity-rich in and of themselves, but the property has much else to offer.
Perhaps the standout attraction lies below the main hotel complex: the Le Toiny Beach Club. Accessible by a rough track—custom eight-passenger Land Rovers shuttle guests there—the Beach Club is a picture of Caribbean paradise.

There’s a pool (one of two at Hotel Le Toiny), palapas, and beachfront sunbeds amid the palm- and sea-grape-shaded oasis. You’ll also find the Le Toiny Boutique, with carefully curated high-end beachwear, here, as well as the hotel’s spa/wellness center: the aptly named Serenity House, one magical place to get a massage!

Le Toiny even boasts its own Surf Shack, running daily surfing clinics for anyone interested in becoming a waterman or waterwoman.
Hotel Le Toiny offers a variety of excursions, from diving, snorkeling, and deep-sea sportfishing to hiking treks and guided tours of the island interior.
As defined at Hotel Le Toiny, “suite” is an umbrella category. The 22 guest quarters span everything from the 600-square-foot Junior Suite—the smallest of the very spacious accommodations—to duplexes and villas.
All suites here include private pools and scenic terraces; it’s impossible to go wrong with any of them!
Along with Villas Nureyev and Over the Ocean (more on those below), Le Toiny offers 13 Signature Suites, seven Spirit Suites, one two-bedroom Villa Suite, and the aforementioned Junior Suite.
See more information about the villas at Le Toiny.
Vaulted ceilings and a bright West Indian-style palette define these suites, which are as much about the outdoor fresh-air privacy as they are about the interior.
The Villa Suite (La Villa) offers 2,745 square feet of total indoor and outdoor space, with a pair of pavilions flanking the generous private pool terrace.

Not one but two first-rate dining establishments await you at Hotel Le Toiny, just as renowned a culinary destination as a place to overnight.
The Le Toiny Restaurant offers some of the finest French-Mediterranean cuisine on the island and boasts a three-toque rating from Gault & Millau.

From homemade pasta and rack of lamb to fish-of-the-day, the refined menu hits all the right notes—as does the incredible Caribbean backdrop. The open kitchen, outdoor bar, and firepits are the icing on the cake.
Meanwhile, down at the Beach Club, you can dine right along the Bay of Toiny under sea-grape arbors and thatched palapas.

The beachfront eats and drinks complement the high standards set by Le Toiny Restaurant. Grilled meats, seafood, burgers, salads, and more are on tap, along with the perfect tropical cool-off libations.
It’s hard not to fall in love with the Beach Club’s dress code, spelled out in a sign: “If you’re not barefoot or wearing flip-flops, you’re overdressed.”
