Ladera is an intimate hideaway perched on a 1,000-feet-high ridge between Les Pitons and its architect was greatly influenced by the beauty of these surroundings. Not content with providing guests with the most stunning views in the Caribbean, he did all he could to make them feel as though they were part of the view. The three-wall concept he used in the guest rooms brings St. Lucia’s lush tropical beauty up close and personal and even the updated décor - think pristine white linens and rich dark woods - has little chance of competing with the panoramic vistas.

There’s no doubt, however, that the breeze-cooled accommodation still has plenty of appeal, four-posters and plunge pools awaiting in the suites, swimming pools and Jacuzzis featuring in a number of the villas. The birdsong and views of the Pitons are generally all that’s needed for entertainment.

Daytime pursuits here seesaw between adventure and relaxation - scuba-diving and rainforest tours perfect for the former; the infinity pool, mineral pool, Ti Kai Posé spa and two nearby beaches (accessed by daily shuttles) tailormadefor the latter. And when it comes to dining, innovative local cuisine is served at the award-winning Dasheene,
the live music and Sunday brunches both contributing to the congenial ambience.
