The unique Ladera Resort is set on a tropical crest, soaring 1,000 feet above the Caribbean Sea below. This eco lodge, designed and built using local and sustainable materials, offers scenic views of the sparkling waters and the Pitons, and was designed with the environment and conservation in mind.
Ladera was made for romance and honeymoons, with each luxury suite offering a private plunge pool and sophisticated, Caribbean inspired design, complete with open air sitting rooms. Dine at the award winning restaurant, take part in wine tastings, or opt to eat privately in the Wine Cellar. This adults-only property is designed with luxury and indulgence in mind, but if you can tear yourself away from the resort, consider a sunset champagne cruise, a dolphin watching sail, or a rainforest hike, which can all be organised by the hotel.

About the location

Its colonial architecture never fails to impress, while the colourful, bustling seafront are is ideal for people watching. Explore the town’s authentic Creole restaurants, and hop between local bars, sampling the island’s famous rums.
Qualibou volcano, now dormant, provides the sulphur hot springs that are seen in the area, and it creates unbelievable views as it majestically extends out of the sea below. Also make time for the Pitons, two gigantic volcanic spires on either side of the bay, which have been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status.

We have travelled the world. We chose Ladera resort for our 25th anniversary! This was by far the absolute best resort we have ever vacationed to. From start to finish for 8 days we were spoiled like we???ve never been spoiled before. The service, food, ambiance, accommodations, views, staff and overall hospitality was absolutely amazing! When we were taken to our room for the first time, I couldn???t believe that that whole place was mine for the next 8 days and nights! I was blown away. I saw all the pictures and videos before we had gotten there, but it exceeded all my expectations in just the first 5 minutes I was there. We walked in and saw our own private hot tub and own private pool with swings over the pool. The 3 wall resort suite was so private and all ours like nobody else was remotely close to us. Our picture perfect bedroom upstairs with a canopy bed and mosquito netting all around made it so peaceful and intimate with the most amazing view. We hiked the resort trails to some of the most breathtaking views we???ve ever seen. We were fortunate enough to get spa appointments the day before they shut everything down due to the corona virus. We had a couples massage in our own private suite with our amazing view, which was perfect! The concierge helped us book a private fishing trip that we caught some amazing dorado on. The captain hooked us up with a local restaurant who cooked up our fresh catch for lunch. Then Ladera???s Dasheen restaurant cooked up the rest of our fresh catch for an unbelievable dinner which consisted of ceviche dorado for appetizer and creole dorado over plantains for dinner. Chef Nigel is amazing! And to top It off. We had the best table in the house with the most amazing view. There were hidden gems throughout the resort including the hot tub, the gym, the hiking trails and of course the birds! Hummingbirds everywhere! Also, my favorite flower is birds of paradise and they are grown all over the property here! The partnership between the local resorts was awesome. We took shuttles down to the beach resort and enjoyed their views as much as ours. We totally will come again! The people of St. Lucia are incredible! You have to come and experience this paradise. We have met lifelong friends in a short vacation. You will not visit a place where the staff, management, and tourists bond so well! We can???t wait for the coronavirus pandemic to be over. We would love to come back and stay again soon. The general manager, Christian, and his wife were on the property the last two days we were there and they were amazing! They talked to all the guests and made sure everyone was well taken care of. She gave us homemade Ladera bracelets on our departure.

It???s been a year since we visited Ladera for our 10th wedding anniversary. The views are still fresh in my mind. I searched the island hotels high and low before booking with Ladera. We initially wanted Jade Mountain, but after further research, the views of Ladera could not be surpassed.
When Concierge escorted us to our room and opened that door, my breath was literally taken away. Don???t be scared of the open room concept! It???s completely private and we wouldn???t have had it any other way. To truly experience St. Lucia the right way, you only need 3 walls! Every room has a pool and the most beautiful views from every angle. Ladera is positioned perfectly between the two Pitons. Easter morning of 2019, we woke up to a massive rainbow stretching from one piton to the other. It was incredible and a ???picture perfect??? image I???ll never forget!
Nightlife at Ladera is so much fun. It???s quaint and intimate, but lively and energetic. Live music near the bar and the hotel staff join in to make sure you???re having the best time possible. Leah, whom I???ll remember for all my years to come, was the highlight of our stay at Ladera. Her energy is contagious and I looked for her to be on that dance floor every night. So entertaining! If there???s room for an Entertainment Manager at this resort, promote this girl NOW!!
I hope the next time we return that they???ll offer late afternoon dance lessons with cocktails. That???s the only thing that could add to this resort experience and put it over the top! Ladera we love you and can???t wait to be together again! ??????
5 STARS!!!

What a wonderful 4 days my wife and I just spent at Ladera. The setting is breathtaking as is the view from any location on the property. The room was very spacious(we stayed in the heritage suite room c) and filled with beautiful carvings and furniture which is made on site. We ate most meals at Dasheen restaurant and were never disappointed! Even though this was a bad time to travel because of the Corona virus, the hotel still made us feel safe and welcome. The staff were among the friendliest and warmest people we ever had the pleasure of staying with. We already miss everyone and can't wait to go back!!

My husband and I spent 5 days at Ladera to celebrate our anniversary, and it exceeded our every expectation. We stayed in a Gros Piton suite and the views were absolutely breathtaking. We loved the heated private plunge pool and spent time in it every day of our trip! All the staff were so kind and accommodating, and it was really easy to book all the activities we wanted to do. The trip was wonderfully relaxing and restorative. The open air room was comfortable and well-appointed, and we were delighted to get a bottle of sparkling wine and a fruit platter to welcome us. I had been a little worried about bugs at night but we had no issues at all. We wish we could have stayed longer and would absolutely love to go back!
