10 Best Hotels in St. Barts | Condé Nast Traveler
"Charlie and Mandie Vere Nicoll, former owners of St-Barth Isle de France (sold for a mint to LVMH), couldn't sit still, so they bought another property on the island. Fun fact: Charlie is the local vicar (we kid you not). Some may refer to it as the hotel farthest from town, but for those in the know, Le Toiny is an intimate hideaway with only 22 sprawling suites nestled within 17 acres of tropical land. Private terraces and large heated pools come as standard, with each room designed by Lady Bee Osborne of Osborne Interiors (the interior designer visits every year to ensure everything is in tip-top condition). Two large villas have been recently added for even more space, ideal for large groups and families. The hotel's other drawcard is Le Toiny Restaurant, one of the best fine dining options on the island and one of the reasons the hotel is a member of Relais and Chateaux. Here, chef Brenton Styles' specialties include mahi mahi, curried cauliflower, and tuna tartar."
