Honeymooners flock to Ladera Resort Saint Lucia resort for an authentic local experience. The relaxing getaway, which is found right outside of the town of Soufrière, is set at 1,100 feet above the Caribbean Sea. Situated with views of the mountainous volcanic peaks known as the Gros Piton and the Petit Piton, the property seamlessly blends its natural surroundings and sharp service.
The 17-acre property, which was once part of one of the oldest cocoa plantations in Soufrière, offers 37 villas and suites — each with a private pool. Every suite features an open wall, allowing you to take in the stunning views of the lush rainforest and the gorgeous shades of blue in the Caribbean Sea.
You will also have access to a wide range of activities, including mixology classes at the luxury hotel’s Dasheene restaurant's bar, T'cholit, rainforest walks with a local guide or a pottery class with a skilled artisan.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- Ladera Resort features 37 unique villas and suites, each filled with distinct character and charm. Crafted from locally sourced wood, stone and tile, these accommodations showcase St. Lucian artistry. Every piece of furniture on the property has been handmade by master craftsman and property manager Eustace Augustin.
- What sets Ladera apart is its commitment to providing an authentic Caribbean experience. From the materials used in each structure to executive chef Nigel Mitchell's St. Lucian-inspired farm-to-table dishes—prepared with produce sourced from the resort's gardens—the experience is truly immersive. Guests can also enjoy activities like a sunset fish fry and classes at local art studios.
- Each accommodation offers stunning views of the rainforest and features an open-wall design to maximize the breathtaking scenery.
- If you’re looking for romance, the Paradise Ridge suites offer a 1,900 square foot retreat for two with butler service, a swing and a private heated pool.

The Restaurant
- Savor open-air dining at Ladera’s restaurant Dasheene. Named after the dasheen leaf, which is grown locally on the island, the establishment prides itself on creating local dishes using ingredients from its very own botanical garden.
- Expect that any dish coming out of chef Nigel Mitchel’s kitchen will be fresh and native to the land.
- Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant serves items like the St. Lucian Creole breakfast (roasted bakes — a delicious flatbread — saltfish, sweet peppers, cucumber salad) to the plantain gratin with coconut-rum sauce.
- The Hideaway Rum Bar has the atmosphere of a secret cave, where you can enjoy rums on tap in oak casks, well-crafted cocktails and light bites.
