- Relax in private villas, each with a private plunge pool
- Couples will love the award winning restaurant and private wine cellar

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
The welcoming town of Soufriere, nestled along the Western coast of St Lucia, has French origins, which are reflected in its charm and character. 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. If you prefer to simply relax, head to Anse Chastanet, a sparkling turquoise bay surrounded by dramatic mountains and rainforest.

Ladera resort was amazing! The resort sits at the top of the mountain overlooking the two Pitons and has an ???open-air??? floor plan in all of the suites. This provides a very unique experience with a closeness to nature, unparalleled views, and total privacy. The staff is extremely nice and helpful and you could easily spend the whole trip at the resort, however, there are many excursions you can take that are organized by the hotel. The hotel is not on the beach but they will transport you to the beach on request.

The resort itself is absolutely beautiful. The room we stayed in was a once in a lifetime type of experience; however I think the resort relies a lot on that and not the actual service experience. When we arrived at the resort, although check in time is 3pm our room wasn't available until 4. This may not have been that bad if we received some type of communication about how long we would have to wait or offered water/beverages while we waited. When we got to our room, we had to wait 30 mins to receive ice and champagne glasses for the welcome champagne, again small mistakes, but at this price point service should be executed well. The butler service could better be described as concierge; they don't anticipate your needs and act accordingly like at other high end resorts. The first night in our room, it rained really hard and we had a leak in the roof and water was all over the chair and floor. I made the front desk aware and they said someone would come take a look; no one ever came. When our room service showed up the chair was soaked because it was under the leak; it was suggested that I put a towel on the chair and move the table, but no update on if anyone was going to check the leak out, ...again not service you expect at this price point. Transportation from the butlers was hit or miss; sometimes they came within 5 mins, other times 30 mins. The onsite restaurant also had hit or miss service. The breakfast and lunch service was good, but the dinner service was not impressive. The waitstaff weren't friendly and I wouldn't say it was a welcoming atmosphere. Overall the hotel itself is nice but i would say the overall experience was average.

Ladera is just as beautiful as the pictures! We came here for the first part of our St Lucia honeymoon and I am so glad we did. We stayed in the Hilltop suite room X7. It was perfect! Everyone here was so friendly, helpful and nice but we especially want to thank Nelbert for the wine tasting and for making all of our experiences at the Dasheene restaurant so special!
Nigel is a great executive chef. We would also like to acknowledge Ethelbert for being an amazing tour guide during our excursion and Tanisha for being so helpful every time we came to the front desk. Would highly recommend this romantic and picturesque place!

I truly had the best week of my life at the Ladera Resort in St. Lucia - the rooms, accommodations, fitness activities, cuisine and staff were all 10/10. I will be remembering this trip for the rest of my life!!!
Only call-out is that this hotel is only 3 walls - the 4th wall is completely open. I loved being able to really feel in nature, but for some who may not love bugs / wildlife, it is something to consider.

To my fello traveling friends,
I spent my spring break at Ladera and all I can say is that I will definitely be back. The grounds, the food, the staff and the massage were enough to convince me to return as soon as I can. I'd recommend that you come and luxuriate at this location on the map just to stargaze, snorkle, watch the dolphins swim, listen to the active volcano as it gurgles and listen to the melodious birds sing all day long. I promise, you will not regret it.
-Andrea S.
