t. Barths, regarded worldwide as the sexiest, most extravagant island in the Caribbean, is known for its seemingly endless list of high-end beachfront hotels and lavish lifestyle. With scores of ultra-luxe properties to indulge your desires, choosing just one may be harder than you think. The key is to know what you want, and if that’s a perfect marriage of relaxation and luxury, we have the best place for you. Located right before the southern coast peels northward and curves around and up to reveal more of the island’s striking topography is Hotel Le Toiny. It’s spectacular in its chic simplicity and arguably the best hotel on the island. RAVISHING & ULTRA PRIVATE VILLAS Located on the hillside above Anse de Toiny, the stunning property offers 22 villa suites nestled in an oasis of calm and tranquility. Surrounded by lush palm trees and exotic flowers, each suite has absolute privacy. Feel free to skinny-dip in your private dipping pool with a breathtaking panoramic view of the ocean. The rooms come equipped with endless Evian water and Nespresso capsules (a must-have for me!) as well as all the little nibbles, sodas, wine, and beer you need to be fully relaxed in your private heaven. The best part is . . . it’s all complimentary.
