There is no fourth wall in villas at Ladera – instead, there is the jaw-dropping backdrop of the Pitons, two mountainous volcanic spires that attract adventure-seekers from across the world. A faint tropical breeze wafts from the Caribbean Sea far below through netting on a four-poster bed carved from polished tropical hardwood. Incentive to leave your room can be found in chef Nigel Mitchel's creative interpretation of traditional island fare – try the roast conch served with organic vegetables from the neighboring plantation.

We stayed end of May for 3 nights to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The setting is unlike anything we’ve ever experienced—sleeping in an open-air room surrounded by nature was both peaceful and magical. At night, we fell asleep to the sounds of frogs and rustling trees, and woke up to breathtaking views. We were lucky enough to see rainbows, stunning sunsets, and a sky full of stars—all from our perch high above the landscape. The entire atmosphere felt serene and deeply connected to nature. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help with anything we needed. We took the shuttle to Malgretoute Beach and were lucky to have the whole beach to ourselves. The hotel has an agreement with the beach and restaurant so the lunch, drinks and beach chairs purchased were put on our room bill. The food was excellent, and the rum bar was a standout feature—we found ourselves returning there every evening. The bartender (his name starts with an ‘A’) was amazing and his fresh rum/ginger drink was incredible. It was the perfect way to unwind and soak in the ambiance. If you’re considering booking this place, don’t hesitate. It’s more than just a stay—it’s a memory we will cherish forever. One more thing…the road from the airport is windy, not terrible in the sense it is paved and not potholes etc. just a windy drive. We didn’t have any problems with sickness.

We stayed from June 4-8 and had the best experience. From the moment we arrived to the second we left, the entire staff treated us like we were their best friends. They helped at every moment with no expectations and greeted us every time we saw anyone on the resort. A special shout out to the guest services manager Sherin who went above and beyond. When the bug bites got to us, she ensured we were comfortable. Give her a promotion now! By the way… the rooms are unmatched and the food is phenomenal!

Stayed here with my wife for a few days on our honeymoon trip to Saint Lucia. We were in the villa la fleur room which was quite amazing (heated pool, butler service, etc.). The room has doors that will close and AC so we had no issues with bugs or room temperature. The food and staff were nothing short of great. We also had a fantastic couples massage and really enjoyed walking around the property. If/when we ever return to the island we would be curious to see what Jade Mountain and Sugar beach are like in comparison, but I can already tell the view won’t be as nice. If you aren’t traveling with kids I highly recommend staying here. P.S. do yourself a favor and book a ferry from the airport to the hotel and back, the roads on the island are terrible and will make you car sick.

The best views right out of your room with even better staff! Vianney made sure to check in and make us feel very welcome. No need to ever leave the resort with the restaurant on site too. Highly recommend staying here!

My boyfriend and I spent a week at Ladera Resort in St. Lucia, West Indies, this past October. It is a beautiful resort with incredibly attentive and friendly staff. I would like to specifically mention Chef Orlando Satchell. He made an already special stay at Ladera even more wonderful. The room we stayed in was utterly incredible. The view of the ocean flanked by the Pitons, with the moon casting a path on the sea below was magic. It was an incredibly romantic, relaxing vacation which neither one of us wanted to end.
