Two miles from the sleepy port of Soufriere, up a steep hill overhung with mango trees, lies the most unique resort in the Caribbean.

Ladera looks as if it has grown out of the hilltop.  Its 25 guest rooms and intimate restaurant are all open - literally - to the fresh breezes and what must surely be the most breathtaking view in the world.  Nothing can prepare you for Ladera's magnificent panorama - a broad sweep of forest, the bay glinting a thousand feet below, the majesty of the two Pitons (St. Lucia's signature volcanic peaks) rising steeply from the sea and changing with every shift of light.
