Vieux Fort Hotels

Ladera was once part of Rabot Estate, one of Soufrire's oldest and most famous cocoa plantations. In 1982 it was transformed into the unique resort it is today. Taking full advantage of its natural surroundings, Ladera offers a unique design in guest accommodations. The 37 suites all have an "open wall" the west side of each unit is left open to expose the breathtaking view, and the orientation of the buildings maintains complete privacy. As one of the top St. Lucia resorts, the suites are constructed of tropical hardwoods, stone and tile, furnished with locally crafted wood furniture, fixtures and accessories. All units are decorated with local artwork and feature magnificent views of the Pitons and Caribbean Sea.

Perched on 600 acres of tropical foliage, the resort provides snorkeling and scuba diving within 100 yards of the beach, kayaking, jungle mountain biking and hiking, sunset cruises, deep-sea fishing, and tours of Soufrière's "drive-in" volcano. Five minutes away, the resort's second beach fronts a 500-foot wide, two-mile deep canyon that once served as a 17th-century sugar and cocoa plantation. Here, 12 miles of mountain-biking and hiking trails snake through jungles laced with mangos, coconuts, bananas, and cocoa. Resort Features. Guests of the Anse Chastanet Resort can relax at the Kai Belté Spa with shiatsu and hot-stone massages, warm oil and herbal wraps, and yoga.

Discover Fond Doux Plantation & Resort, a 19th century eco-friendly colonial plantation nestled in the heart of Soufriere, St Lucia. The plantation resort is situated amidst a 250 year-old working plantation, featuring an assortment of fifteen uniquely crafted cottages, two onsite restaurants, spa, boutique, historical cocoa drying trays and a collage of outdoor swimming pools. We are conveniently located just minutes away from the island’s main attractions: The Sulphur Springs - the Caribbean’s only “drive-in volcano”, The Pitons and the best diving sites on island all within the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage Site. Much of the land on the estate is utilized to grow fruits, flowers and vegetables – all of which are used in Fond Doux Plantation & Resort’s two restaurants. These include star apples, pawpaws, zabòka avocados, mangoes, grapefruit, bananas, love apples, breadfruit, coconuts, cinnamon, sour-sop, golden apple, sugar cane, limes, tangerine, oranges, apricots, cherries, plums, wax apples and gwiyav guava – not to mention our famous cocoa. The property is totally committed to self-sufficiency and invites you to get involved. All of our cottages have been built and designed with minimum impact in mind. No machinery was used when constructing these 15 stunning residences – all excavation was performed with loads of elbow grease and shovels only. Adding to the water and power conservation, it is little wonder that England’s Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla visited the estate in 2008, with the environment so close to the Prince’s heart. Fond Doux Plantation & Resort is one of the only resorts in St. Lucia to have been certified both as an organic plantation and as a member of Green Globe.
