Ladera Resort, set in the heart of St. Lucia on the historic Rabot Estate near Soufrière, is a sanctuary of luxury uniquely located on a UNESCO World Heritage site. This exclusive retreat, nestled 1,000 feet above the Caribbean Sea, offers just 37 bespoke suites, ensuring an intimate experience with unparalleled views of the iconic Pitons. Each suite boasts an innovative “Open Wall” design, eliminating one wall entirely to invite in the breathtaking scenery and gentle island breezes. The private, heated plunge pools and artisan-crafted furnishings enhance the seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living.
At Ladera Resort, every detail is thoughtfully curated to harmonize with the natural surroundings—from the tropical hardwoods to the local stone and tile work. The award-winning Dasheene Restaurant presents a farm-to-table dining experience, celebrating St. Lucian flavors with ingredients sourced from local farms and the surrounding waters. Here, Executive Chef Nigel Mitchel and his team create culinary masterpieces that are as authentic as they are delicious.
Guests at Ladera can indulge in a variety of activities, from yoga classes with a view to bespoke tours of the Ladera Wellness Garden, where they can touch, taste, and smell the produce and spices that feature in their meals. The resort is not just about relaxation but also adventure; with options like ziplining, horseback riding, and snorkeling, there is plenty to satisfy the thrill-seeker.
Although not an all-inclusive resort, Ladera offers a comprehensive package that includes airport transfers, daily breakfast, a minibar, and a selection of activities that ensure a full and enriching stay. This makes Ladera the ideal destination for those celebrating special occasions like honeymoons or anniversaries, or simply seeking a luxurious retreat in the heart of nature’s splendor. Ladera’s commitment to sustainability and local culture makes it a pinnacle of Caribbean luxury, resonating with a soulful authenticity and a profound sense of place.
