Opened in 1992, the Hotel Le Toiny is a beautiful, quiet villa resort on Anse de Toiny, the south-eastern coast of St. Barthelémy in an area that is still undeveloped. It has 15 luxurious villas overlooking an island lagoon and the Caribbean sea beyond. Natural surroundings and vegetation - including St. Barths rare Gaiac trees and cacti - has been preserved.

Le Toiny's architecture has been influenced by the old plantation houses of the French West Indies, and four poster mahogany beds in all the cottages resemble true period pieces. The hotel fits naturally into the hillside setting and allows for breathtaking views. High-tech amenities in each suite include two satellite TV's, a video cassette player, a DVD player, stereo, CD player and fax, as well as a fully equipped kitchenette.

All suites have been designed to catch as much natural light as possible and their generous proportions - 1075 sq. ft. per cottage - allow for light, fresh and breezy interiors, maximum sea views and the privacy and seclusion so looked for in hotel accommodations.
