Southern St. Lucia -- with its small fishing villages, mountains and valleys carpeted in rainforest -- is commonly described as "the way the Caribbean used to be." Two miles from its sleepy port of Soufriere, up a steep hill over hung with mango trees, lies the most unique resort in the Caribbean.

Ladera looks as if it has grown out of the hilltop. Its 25 guest rooms and stunning restaurant are all open -- literally -- to the fresh breezes and what must surely be the most breath-taking view of the world.

With our famous open-air accommodations, which offer breathtaking views; and our quiet, romantic seclusion, Ladera offers the perfect oasis within our own peaceful corner of the world.

Called one of the "10 Best Romantic Spots" by Caribbean Travel and Life, and rated as one of the "Top 10 Small Hotels In The World" by Conde Nast Travel, Ladera provides all the luxury you expect, from majestic views, to fine dining and spectacular living quarters.
