Ladera Resort

Dream

The property has just 37 villas and suites that offer the perfect setting for a romantic getaway. Uniquely constructed from locally harvested tropical hardwoods, furniture is made on site by St Lucian artisans. Each suite has an “open wall” that gives way to a plunge pool and magnificent views of the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea.

The private heated plunge pools, some with swings and cascading waterfalls, invite guests to enjoy a relaxing swim at any time of the day or night.

Eat

In a relaxed atmosphere, guests can savour a dish for every palate and occasion at award-winning farm to table restaurant, Dasheene, where Executive Chef Nigel Mitchel and his staff are dedicated to showcasing fresh native ingredients from island farmers and neighbouring plantations that grow their produce primarily for the resort. For morning coffee, lunchtime refreshments, sundowners or after dinner cocktails, The Bar at Dasheene is open from 09:00 and provides live music from local musicians every evening, while the Hideaway Rum Bar is a mysterious hideaway where an expert Rummelier will guide you through the menu.

Every Thursday, Chef Nigel Mitchell elevates the traditional Gros Islet fish fry to a signature culinary experience. Set against the breathtaking Pitons sunset, head poolside for freshly grilled local seafood, Caribbean music and enchanting views.
