Once part of the Rabot Estate, one of Soufrière’s oldest and most famous cocoa plantations, Ladera Resort stands today as St. Lucia’s most unique and luxurious resort and the only resort situated on a UNESCO World Heritage site. The setting is breathtaking and unlike any other, on a volcano ridgeline 1,000 feet above the deep, blue Caribbean Sea, with stunning views of the Pitons.
Welcoming in the full beauty of their breathtaking natural surroundings, the 37 eco-friendly room and suite accommodations at Ladera Resort are uniquely designed and decorated with St. Lucian flair. All feature an “open wall” to provide stunning views of the Pitons and Caribbean Sea and are constructed of tropical hardwoods, stone and tile, with local artwork and furniture is made on site by St. Lucian artisans. Your room’s private plunge pool – some with swings and cascading waterfalls – beckons you to enjoy a refreshing dip with your morning coffee or a relaxing swim at any time of the day or night.
Resort amenities are designed with your ultimate relaxation in mind, including authentic St. Lucian culinary experiences at our farm-to-table award-winning Dasheene Restaurant. Executive Chef Nigel Mitchel and his staff are dedicated to showcasing fresh native ingredients from island farmers and neighboring plantations that grow their produce primarily for the resort. Chef Nigel's cooking renders stylish interpretations of traditional St. Lucian dishes, such as sweet potato and coconut soup, Caribbean lamb salad, roast conch with pickled vegetables served in a yam basket, Cajun Creole vegetable bakes, jerk poulet sausage, plantain gratin with coconut rum sauce, and more.
