Ladera’s Dasheene Restaurant offers a farm-to-table menu and innovative interpretations of St. Lucian specialties, based on local produce, fresh fish and colourful presentations. Cooking demonstrations and market tours take place every Saturday morning. There is a Fitness Room, infinity pool overlooking the Pitons, and a complimentary scheduled beach shuttle service runs throughout the day. The resort’s Ti Kai Posé Spa offers a line of relaxing St. Lucian wellness and beauty treatments, while an on-site Concierge is available to arrange adventure and sightseeing excursions around the island.
Facilities at Ladera, St Lucia
The 9 villas and 23 suites, each with a private plunge pool, overlooking the famous Piton Mountains, a UNESCO World heritage site, the Caribbean Sea and the Soufrière valley. Ladera is know for its distinctive eco-lodge architecture, built with Caribbean timbers and modeled on luxury tree-house living, and a relaxed, barefoot lifestyle. Villas and suites were intentionally built without a fourth wall, yet are designed to be sheltered, safe, and completely private. The design affords spectacular sunset views and unobstructed star gazing at night.
Eight luxurious Dream Suites complement the Villas and Piton Suites. Introduced last year, the Dream Suites are larger, have two levels of living space, they also feature the famously unobstructed views and are designed in Ladera's elegant tropical architecture, using polished hard woods, crisp white linens and colorful tile and stone work by local artisans. A private deck and a spiral staircase lead to a private plunge pool.
