Ladera is an eco-lodge with six villas and 21 suites, offering luxurious treehouse-style living at an altitude of 1,100 feet, surrounded by lush rainforest. Guest rooms are designed with three walls to give spectacular, unobstructed views, while remaining completely private. Ladera was named the Best of the Best Hotel in the world by Condé Nast Traveler readers and the #2 hotel in the Caribbean by Travel + Leisure.
Two new luxurious, open-air Dream Suites will be completed by December 2006, bringing the total to three. The new suites will be on a ridge south of Dasheene restaurant, on a slightly higher elevation than the rest of the property. Each Dream Suite is intentionally set apart from the other rooms to provide an ultra-private escape, ideal for honeymooners. The Dream Suites have the same elegant tropical architecture as all suites and villas, using polished hardwoods, luxurious white linens and colorful tiles in the bath areas. A private deck and spiral staircase lead to a private pool in the new Dream Suites. Ladera is introducing dedicated concierge services for the new suites and the existing two-bedroom villas.
Ladera will open a secluded beach at Anse Jambette, a small bay just 20 minutes by boat from the Soufrière dock. To be named Dasheene on the Beach at Anse Jambette, the fully-staffed facility features a casual beach café, serving grilled lunch items and snacks, and a full bar. Umbrellas, chaise lounges, changing rooms, boutique items and massages are also available. Ladera will offer scheduled boat shuttle service to the beach.
Newly built bathing pools will offer Ladera guests restorative waters from the source at the Diamond Mineral Baths near Soufrière (French for sulfur). Located beside the resort's Ti Kaye Posé Spa, the new Mineral Pools will be complimentary to all guests, who can include a mineral soak as part of their pre- or post-massage routine, or simply use them to relax after a day hiking the Pitons or sunbathing. Originally built in 1785, just before the French revolution, with funds from King Louis XVI, it is rumored that Napoleon's Empress Josephine bathed in these waters.
Ti Kaye Posé will also begin offering Rainforest Massages outdoors beneath a tent in the lush tropical gardens that flank the Spa. The tranquil setting is a new area for post-treatment relaxation. Ladera will also add a gym, this season, with treadmills, yoga mats, weights and a Universal work-out machine.
At Dasheene Restaurant, Executive Chef Orlando Satchell has created new health-conscious dishes, without heavy sauces and butter. His signature dishes use vine-ripened produce, from nearby plantations, fish caught daily and pungent West Indian spices. A new elaborate dessert menu includes chocolate fondue.
