Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Graced by dense flowering gardens, the stone-and-wood resort caters to couples seeking mountain air, a rainforest setting, and dramatic views for tranquil holidays and rejuvenation.
Amenity highlights: A freeform, infinity-edge pool and wood sundeck offer views of the twin Piton peaks and, between them, Jalousie Bay, which is 304.75 meters (1,000 feet) below the ridge on which the resort sits. The resort furnishes complimentary snorkeling gear, beach chairs, and towels. It also provides complimentary shuttle service to Jalousie Bay beach and Anse Chastanet beach for swimming and snorkeling; independent operators there offer scuba diving and other water sports.
Insider tip: Not only is a bird's-eye view of postcard-perfect Marigot Bay available en route from the island's north-end airport near Castries, guests can also stop at Plas Kàssav, a locally renowned rustic roadside bakery 24 km (15 mi) from the resort that sells disks of warm cassava bread with flavors such as chocolate, cherry, and saltfish.
Rooms
Ladera Resort offers 25 three-wall guestrooms in buildings constructed of naturally finished greenheart wood and fieldstone. Rooms' garden-fringed open fronts provide panoramic views of the twin Piton peaks and, between them, Jalousie Bay 304.75 meters (1,000 feet) below the ridge on which the resort sits. Rooms also feature plunge pools paired with fountains.
Rooms are individually designed and furnished, but all include terra-cotta-tile floors, fieldstone accent walls, polished woods, and antique-style, tropical-wood furniture with carved accents (hand-made in the resort's workshop). Netting drapes from four-poster beds. Large walk-in showers (no tubs) are lined with colored mosaic tiles or fieldstone.
