A hillside resort inside the Pitons World Heritage Site, with a wedding deck facing both peaks.
The Setting
Ladera sits near Soufrière and is the only resort inside the Pitons UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dinner here comes with sunsets 1,000 feet above the Caribbean Sea, and that view is the reason couples come.
It is a small place. Accommodation runs from the Hilltop Dream Suites, Heritage Suites and Rainbow Suites to the Gros Piton and Petit Piton Suites and villas such as Villa La Fleur, and some include a plunge pool. There is a resort pool, the lévé Spa and complimentary yoga. For couples who want the setting to do the talking, with nothing between them and two of the most famous peaks in the Caribbean, this is a strong choice.
The day itself
Couples marry on a deck that looks out over the Pitons, with the sea more than a thousand feet below. A wedding specialist coordinates the details, and the resort lists two packages, one built around romance and one for a full wedding. Ask the team for the inclusions of each.
Dinner is at Dasheene Restaurant, with the Hideaway Rum Bar and The Wine Room close by for the evening. The venue tells us it hosts weddings of up to 100 guests. Ask the team about the reception layout, exclusive hire, whether children are welcome and the music curfew.
Where your guests stay
Guests stay in the suites and villas on site, so a small wedding can sleep together. There are 37 villas and suites in all, no two alike. Ask the team what is nearby for bigger groups.
Days can be slow or busy. The resort lists the Gros Piton Trail and the Tet Paul Nature Trail, sailing and snorkelling, scuba diving, a treetop canopy zip line, horse riding, rum making classes and wine tasting. Soufrière is about 45 minutes by road from Hewanorra International Airport, per the Saint Lucia tourist board, and the Sulphur Springs and Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens make an easy guest outing.
Book the Tet Paul Nature Trail for your guests the morning before the wedding. It gets everyone out to see the Pitons up close before you marry in front of them.
