Additional Information: 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.
Taking full advantage of its natural surroundings, Ladera offers a unique design in guest accommodations. The 6 villas and 19 suites all have an "open wall" - the west side of each unit is left open to expose the breathtaking view, and the orientation of the buildings maintains complete privacy. The resort features a scenic pool and deck area and each comes with a plunge pool.
Dasheene, Ladera's award-winning restaurant, has been refurbished and expanded. The view inside Dasheene complements the one outside. Guests from all over the island come to Dasheene to soak up the panoramic view through open-walls, sip cocktails in the Tcholit Bar, listen to live music and enjoy a creative menu featuring local and international delicacies.
Renowned Chef Orlando Satchell (visiting from London for winter season) has created a menu along with St. Lucian head chef Nigel Mitchel who manages Dasheene throughout the year.
The menu boasts an eclectic combination of local produce, freshly caught fish, just picked fruits and innovative, colorful presentations.
Amenities 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, it provides all the luxury you expect, from majestic views, to fine dining and spectacular living quarters.

Activities St. Lucia possesses a stunning beauty, matched by no other island in the Caribbean. Its culture is a wonderful fusion of French, British and African tradition and its approximately 150,000 people bring this beauty and rich cultural heritage to life. The island is 27 miles long by 14 miles wide (238 square miles). It is an independent member of the British Commonwealth. While the officiallanguage is English, the lingua franca is a mellifluous, French based Patois that employs African vocabulary and structures. Similarly the local cuisine blends French and Island tradition with the freshest island ingredients.
The most conspicuous and exciting expression of St. Lucia's culture is its festivals. Carnival is by far the biggest event. Colorful animated parties, calypso contests and parades. This propensity for celebration is indulged each Friday when a classic West Indian "jump up" street party overtakes the tiny village of Gros Islet. St. Lucia's fasted growing event is the annual very hip Jazz Festival which takes place under thepalm trees at Pigeon Island. In addition to these "happenings" there are additional places to visit on the island
