Description: Ladera is an intimate, 25-room, open-air hotel within a hill top paradise. The resort has been voted by Condé Nast Traveler readers as not only the "Best Hotel in the Caribbean," but they also gave it the highest score of any hotel in the world, ranking it the "Best of the Best" in the overall hotel category. The honour marks the first time in the 18 year history of the awards that a Caribbean hotel has appeared on the "Best of the Best" list. The resort provides you with an authentic Caribbean experience, beautiful scenery blended with luxurious facilities such as: Open-air Suites, panoramic views from 1,100 feet above the Sea, sunsets that will take your breath away, private plunge pools in every room, great meals at Dasheene restaurant and so much more. Guests will love the amorous trill of the tree frogs at night (some join in) and enjoy the famous barefoot lifestyle that is Ladera.
Rooms: Ladera takes full advantage of its natural surroundings, offering a unique design in guest accommodations. Each of the 6 villas and 19 suites have an "open wall"- the west side of each unit has been left open, inviting one of the world’s most breathtaking views into your suite. Each suite offers complete privacy and features its own plunge pool or villa swimming pool, for a private, refreshing dip just outside your room.
Ladera’s electricity is 220 volts, 50 cycles (square, three-prong plug). Ladera will be more than happy to provide adaptors and transformers for guests who require them.
Dining: Dasheene, Ladera's award-winning restaurant provides panoramic views with local and international cuisine. Enjoy cocktails and live music at the Tcholit Bar.
Room Service available for all meals. Poolside snacks available throughout the day.
Facilities: Rumoured to be the first infinity pool ever built, Ladera’s pool and deck area overlook the Pitons and Caribbean Sea, with cocktails and snacks available at poolside. This beautiful setting was features in Superman II. If you prefer to swim in privacy, each room at Ladera is equipped with its very own intimate plunge pool or villa pool.
Ladera’s Landscaped Gardens, open to guests 24 hours a day, are both beautiful and useful—fruit from the garden is hand-picked and featured in Dasheene’s colourful cuisine, and the flowers are cut fresh daily and displayed prominently throughout Ladera, including each guest accommodation.
