Ladera Resort

A romantic getaway in harmony with nature

Built into the hillside, the Ladera Resort ecolodge is a little tropical paradise dedicated to romantic getaways. Within the 37 suites and villas, you won't feel enclosed within four walls as the bedroom design does away with one partition to open up to nature, the famous Pitons and the Caribbean Sea. Built from wood and stone, the rooms, furnished and decorated by local craftspeople, invite travellers to relax in their private pool or on a swing facing an enchanting panorama. On the culinary front, the reputation of the Dasheene restaurant and its wine cellar is well established. In an elegant setting, you will discover delicious cuisine with local flavours, made from seasonal island produce, with the bonus of breathtaking sea views. The Ladera Resort ecolodge is the ideal place for a sunny couple's retreat, for travellers seeking privacy and tranquillity. Everything comes together to enjoy a stay in perfect harmony with nature, thanks in particular to the wide range of activities on offer, including hiking, diving, boat excursions and massages in the heart of a spa surrounded by vegetation.

ETHICS

Situated on a natural site listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ladera blends seamlessly into its surroundings thanks to its sustainable materials, such as wood and stone. In the restaurant, 70% of the ingredients used by the chef come from the island, and some are organically grown. Ladera is equipped with rainwater harvesting systems and solar panels. The hotel is also actively involved in the local community, helping to plant trees and clean up the roads, and aims to eliminate all single-use plastic. Ladera’s efforts to promote more sustainable tourism have earned it Green Globe certification.
