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.

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.

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!

We have just returned from a -too short- trip to Ladera where we stayed in one of the paradise ridge suites.
The views from everywhere are stunning, the staff is friendly, caring and attentive. It felt like staying with family member. Our suite came with butler service which provided an even higher level of service.
We booked Ladera because we saw the pictures online and thought this would be a wonderful place to visit to disconnect and relax. As with everything on the internet we were wondering how genuine they were. Well it is as real as can be.
The bed was very comfortable and high enough to get the view as soon as we woke up. The suite is large and well furnished with resort made furniture and wood carvings. The floors and massive shower room have mosaic details tying it to the view and surroundings. There are beach towels and a shuttle taking you to the beach 3 times a day. The airport transfer was done in private comfortable vehicles.
The night sounds can be turned off by the water noise from the cascade in the pool or enjoyed by turning the water pump off. The same for the bird songs at sun rise. It felt wonderful to be so in tune with nature. The pool was also heated and deep enough to stand up in the hot water whilst looking out to the Caribbean Sea. The night sky is full of stars as we had not seen in a while and the star map provided was fun to use and figure what was what.
The room has a coffee maker so you can enjoy the view with a nice cup of espresso before getting your breakfast delivered or heading out to get it at the restaurant.
The fridge is stocked up every day with water, coke, sprite, beer.
The restaurant enjoys the views and has a fresh menu with local fresh fruits and vegetable.
We will get back as soon as we can and this time for a longer stay to make the most of the extra experience they offer. We are also excited about the larger spa they are building up.

We just returned from our 5 night stay in Hillside 2X at Ladera Resort. What a magnificent property! We were so very happy with our vacation! I do not believe that a better hotel view exists anywhere else in St. Lucia! We loved everything about our stay----our heated private plunge pool was magnificent, the service and food were superb, and the ability to take the daily shuttles to the white sand beach at the Viceroy property down below were much appreciated. Highly recommend a stay here---we'll be back! Can't wait to see the new spa!

We spent eight days in Paradise at the Ladera Resort. Our suite was magnificent - the huge kingsize bed with the sheer white netting on all four sides, our personal and very private splash pool, the delicious meals, and the most friendly staff that we have ever encountered in all of our travels. My husband surprised me by arranging for a ceremony to renew our wedding vows after 50 years of a very happy marriage. Caroline, the concierge, and Obi the wedding planner arranged everything for us. Complete with Peter the photographer and Imogene the minister. We had two personal butlers -- Schol and Rohan - what outstanding young men! They provided for our every need and request. God willing we will return to the Ladera Resort. It is unique - unforgettable - just a dream come true.
