With just 37 suites, Ladera is an intimate sanctuary of luxury, romance, and adventure.  This memorable St. Lucia resort is perched 1,000 feet above the Caribbean Sea on a lush volcanic ridgeline (that doubles as a UNESCO World Heritage Site).  Befitting the resort’s eco-friendly philosophy, each suite is uniquely constructed from locally harvested tropical hardwoods, stone and tile.  Art lovers will appreciate that the furniture is crafted on site by St. Lucian artisans.  Enjoy your own private heated plunge pool and open-air design with unobstructed views of the majestic Pitons and deep blue waters.  This island is lush and spectacular any time of year, but springtime brings ideal temperatures and lesser crowds, too.
 
Private perks: $100 resort credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more.
