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.

Private, Romantic, and magical location. We stayed here in rainbow suite H for our honeymoon January 16-22nd. Every room has fantastic views. The staff was wonderful-- one the gardeners brought us fresh coconuts and cut them for coconut water. The rooms are clean and beautiful. The trail was lovely. The restaurant is delicious. We saw a rainbow or double rainbow every morning. You will not be disappointed with the beauty and peacefulness of this resort. This is a perfect place for any romantic trip including baby moons (I saw lots of cute pregnant couples). You may be wondering about the glamping style sleeping situation. I have insomnia, but I was able to sleep well because the pool waterfalls mask noise. Some of the rooms are two story and may not mask noise as well, so maybe bring a noise machine if you're an extra light sleeper like me. They provide earplugs too. You have a mosquito net for the bed, but bring bug spray and loose, light, beachy panys/long sleeves for evening and mornings. They provide natural bug spray, but it was no help for me. It worked great for my husband. They do sell deet and basic meds in the store, but I'd bring some next time. Even with the itching, I had a wonderful time. I'd come back and plan on it! About driving: We called for rides and Ladera made that incedibly easy. The drivers know the rough roads and terrain. I wouldn't rec renting a car unless your comfortable with small and perilous roads. It was actaully less expensive to get rides to Anse Chastanet and excursions. Loved the superman falls and piton hikes-- we booked these through the resort as one needs a guide for almost every hike.

Truly enchanting trip with breathtaking views from room and bar/restaurant, wonderfully kind and attentive staff, stunning nature trails on property and fabulous fitness center. We have stayed at Anse Chasenet before which was wonderful but the setting and rooms are far more spectacular at Ladera.

Our stay at Ladera exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Even before we arrived, Yvette in the concierge office was incredibly helpful coordinating details and making everything feel seamless. At the airport, Vaughn made meeting our transfer easy, and the reception team at Ladera was warm, professional, and welcoming. Our butler, Theo, was excellent — helping with bags and even shuttling us around the property one evening in the Moke when my wife was wearing heels. Dining at Dasheene was consistently fantastic. The wait staff remembered us night to night, and Akim went above and beyond by bringing out the best wine glasses from the wine room when we ordered a bottle. The spa at Élevé was outstanding, and we really enjoyed time at the Hideaway Bar, especially meeting Hilarious. Outside the resort, the Soufrière volcano tour and mud baths exceeded expectations and were a highlight of the trip. The room was incredible. The three-walled, open-air design was exactly what we expected and loved — the breeze, the views, and the connection to nature were all exceptional. Throughout the resort and on excursions, everyone was kind, respectful, and we felt completely safe. Ladera is a truly special place, and St. Lucia left a lasting impression on us. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it for a romantic and unforgettable getaway.

This was such a magical week in St.Lucia! The views from our room were just stunning. The room itself was very comfortable, beautiful pool, well stocked mini fridge and bathroom. We hiked the steep trail to the yoga platform 2X, the panoramic views were beautiful. We enjoyed morning yoga on the pool deck (shout out to the instructor, he was great and funny), every breakfast was as fabulous, delish cocktails, room service dinner in our room at sunset between swimming and was perfect. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We took several excursions- highlight was the ATV tour! Check out The Chocolate Project across the street. Google it. Fun spot with yummy unique milkshakes. *mosquitoes are no joke here! Wear bug spray!

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.
