Since 92 winter season, the Hotel Le Toiny is a beautiful, quiet
deluxe cottage complex at Anse de Toiny on the southeastern coast
of St. Barthelemy in an area that had been undeveloped until now.
The hotel overlooks an island lagoon and the vast sea beyond. Natural
surroundings and vegetation including St. Barth's' rare Gaiac trees
and cactus have been preserved. The hotel fits naturally into its
hillside setting, and allows for incredible views.
Le Toiny, are self contained villa suites. The architecture of Le
Toiny has been influenced by the old plantation houses found in
the French West Indian islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. Pastel
hues typical of the Caribbean pale lavender, mint and peach -comprise
the color scheme of the cottage exteriors. In creating the interiors,
designers Anne Nguyen and Beatrice David have used native gaïac
wood (the rare Gaïac tree of St. Barth's grows on the hotel
property), terracotta, teak and mahogany.
Its 15 exquisite cottage suites offer guests the luxury of spaciousness.
All suites have been designed to catch as much natural light
as possible. Their generous proportions, 1,076 sq. ft. per cottage
unit, allow for light, fresh and breezy interiors, maximum sea
views, and the privacy and seclusion so looked for in hotel accommodations.
Spacious living areas flow directly into bedrooms, which in turn
lead to extra-large bathrooms. The finest of Frette linens grace
the beds, while the bathrooms, which have shower, tub, double
vanities, bidet, hairdryer, and walk-in closets, are equipped
as well with robes, scented hand soaps, shampoos, etc., all created
especially for Le Toiny.
They all have a private swimming pool, 20 ft. x 10 ft., a kitchenette
(with fridge, ice machine, micro-waves, hotplates) and a terrace
with teak "chaises longues" that invites for reading,
relaxation, and a quiet contemplation of the breathtaking panorama
views of a turquoise lagoon fringed with coconut palms and, way
beyond, a vast blue sea. High-tech amenities in each suite include
two satellite TVs, a video cassette player, DVD player, "Bang
& Olufsen" telephones, stereo, CD player and fax.
