Once part of the Rabot Estate, one of Soufrière’s oldest and most famous cocoa plantations, Ladera Resort stands today as St. Lucia’s most unique and luxurious resort and the only resort situated on a UNESCO World Heritage site. Each of the 37 rooms and suites has an "open wall" – the west side of each unit is left open to expose breathtaking views of the Pitons and the ocean, while the orientation of the rooms ensures complete privacy for all guests. All suites are constructed of tropical hardwoods, stone and tile and furnished with locally crafted wood furniture, fixtures and accessories and artwork. The on-site restaurant serves stylish interpretations of traditional St. Lucian dishes, such as sweet potato and coconut soup, Caribbean lamb salad, roast conch with pickled vegetables served in a yam basket and more.
