Ladera Resort
Ladera Resort - a breathtaking eco-luxury resort that blends romance with sustainability.
Perched high between the two world famous towering Piton mountains in a verdant ridge above Soufrière, Ladera Resort isn’t just a destination it’s a real-life dream. Every one of its 37 suites is artfully designed with an “open wall,” meaning your private plunge pool, rich with heated water, frames uninterrupted views of the iconic volcanic peaks and the vast Caribbean Sea beyond.
Beyond the views lies a passion for sustainability. Tucked amidst lush rainforest on what was once a historic cocoa plantation, Ladera sits as the only resort built within a UNESCO World Heritage site and is a powerful statement of eco-luxury. The property operates with mindful design: solar-heated water, LED lighting, organic gardens, composting and local craftsmanship.
During your stay here you can immerse yourself in the beauty of everything this resort and location has to offer. By day, enjoy yoga at sunrise, rainforest treks and culinary artistry at the resort’s Dasheene Restaurant. By night, stars rule the sky with no roofs to stand between you and the heavens. Ladera is here to give you the most unforgettable and joyous holiday.
Perched atop a lush volcanic ridge around 300 meters above the Caribbean, Ladera overlooks the iconic Pitons mountains as well as the azure sea below.
A certified Green Globe property, Ladera Resort leads in eco-conscious practices such as rainwater harvesting, solar heating, renewable energy use and zero single-use plastics.
