Ladera

Perched 1,100 feet above the azure Caribbean Sea, one with the lush Piton Mountains, the breathtaking Ladera resort is a destination unlike any other. As the only property located on the actual grounds of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Saint Lucia, this remarkable property boasts an unparalleled location, nestled in between the Pitons and Caribbean Sea on the Soufrière Volcano. With top travel aficionados touting Ladera's accommodations as among the best in the world, the luxe suites here are certain to impress - each featuring its own private plunge pool. The 32 suites are all built in tropical hardwood, stone and tile, with an open wall that leaves the entire west side of the suite free to the spectacular views and breezy ocean air. Yet the construction of the resort allows complete privacy to be maintained at all times. Four-poster beds, locally crafted furnishings, and unique artwork adorn every space, in addition to plush robes, daily stocked mini bars, and wireless Internet access. Regular shuttle service takes you directly down to Sugar Beach and a full-service main hotel pool deck is ready with attendants and umbrella service. Find your dream paradise in the Caribbean, at Ladera.
