Romantic Honeymoon Destination on St Lucia

If a Romantic Honeymoon Destination is needed, then look no further than the Ladera Resort high in the hills between the Twin Pitons on St Lucia.

The Ladera Resort sitting in the hills about 1000 feet above the Caribbean Sea right between the Twin Pitons would make an ideal romantic honeymoon destination. A romantic luxury vacation getaway, this small luxury resort would also be a great place for a surprise and very romantic birthday idea for a couple who think they have no secrets from each other!!

A Romantic St Lucia vacation requires something a little different and the Ladera Resort can certainly supply this in spades. Its position is obviously a huge plus, and there isn’t one guest who doesn’t talk incessantly about the unbelievable views from the rooms, and the fact that the resort faces west means the sunsets and the twin Pitons together make an unsurpassed unforgettable view.

There are six villa suites and 26 suites with either a private plunge pool or villa pool, with the two bedroom hilltop, Dream Villa being top of the range with its own heated pool, and that would just make for the ultimate accommodation and the total romantic honeymoon destination.

Another frequent comment is about the fact that the rooms have only three walls at the Ladera Resort. What this means is you have a sleeping experience that makes you feel as if you are sleeping outside, although you do have a mosquito net, which in itself is romantic, a sort of ‘Out of Africa’ feeling, being at one with nature. The creature of the night do tend to invade the room, and the tree frogs can be very noisy, but all of this pales into insignificance when you see the views when you wake up and it could make a sentimentalist a bit tearful they just so out of this world.

A good romantic hotel becomes a great romantic hotel if the accommodation is right, and there is obviously no question here, although the rooms aren’t sumptious they are spectacular. The food is not only spectacular but also sumptious in Dasheene, Ladera Resort’s award winning restaurant. It has a St Lucia wide reputation not only for its food but also the panoramic view. One piece of advice is to take the all inclusive package, firstly because it will save you a ton of money, secondly because it frees you up to drink what you want, and thirdly because it makes sense to be able to eat at the best restaurant on St Lucia and not go out and find something inferior and then pay through the nose for it.

By the way the daily menu consists of locally caught fresh fish, and local grown organically fresh picked produce.

Whilst the Ladera Resort has been looked upon as a Caribbean Luxury Resort, ideal for a romantic birthday idea, or a romantic honeymoon, can you think of anywhere more spectacular to tie the knot. Imagine getting married outside on a terrace overlooking the Twin Pitons, with the glistening Caribbean far below. This could be the most perfect romantic wedding destination as well and the Ladera Resort will coordinate and arrange everything.

Check out this small luxury resort on St Lucia, it could be the romantic hotel, the luxury Caribbean resort you have been searching for.

Top Honeymoon Destination at Soufriere on St Lucia

Sometimes you need to look away from the big resorts on St Lucia for your honeymoon destination, so check out La Haut Plantation

A top honeymoon destination on St Lucia is a hard one to call because there is a lot of competition especially in the Soufriere area with the romantic Pitons. It is well worth checking out La Haut Plantation which gets rave reviews from guests, and has a great deal going for it, not the least of which are the stunning views.

It has a reputation as a great place, with outstanding staff who look after you really well. They are the kind of people who don’t ever seem to be troubled by requests and can never do too much for you.

Incredibly it manages to accomplish with some flair being a really top honeymoon destination, with being a very nice family vacation resort. Saying that resort isn’t probably the right description, for a hotel that is in the middle of a working plantation perched on a hillside, so the description could be better as an ideal family holiday hotel.

Whatever you choose to call it, the fact that it is half way up a mountain means the setting is quite stunning, well away from tourists, hustle and bustle, and yet within easy reach of the town of Soufriere, the Pitons, beaches, and other things to do and see. You will however require a hire car for your holiday due to the isolated nature of the property although there are other options worth thinking about if you don’t intend to explore.

The first is the shuttle that runs to Anse Chastanet every day at 10am coming back up to La Haut Plantation at 4pm. The hotel has two pools but if this is a family holiday, children will want to go to the beach. Anse Chastanet is a great beach, and well worth bringing your own snorkelling stuff. You’ll want to supply your own lunch because the beachside restaurants are expensive. There are good grocery shops in Soufriere so the best suggestion is to buy food for lunch if you don’t want extra expense. It is also great to mingle with the local people an opportunity denied to most people on a package holiday.

You don’t want to be walking anywhere outside the hotel, apart from Soufriere. Being up a steep hill, it’s no fun at all.

You can get a taxi through La Haut Plantation, he seems to be their tame personal taxi. If you want to go exploring, and you don’t want to hire a car, then you’ll find him great fun, and not difficult to come to a price if you want him for a full day.

La Haut Plantation is a lovely place altogether. If you are looking for peace and quiet so you can just relax, then it is perfect. It is an unrecognised but nevertheless top honeymoon destination for this reason. You will also see families here, although in terms of it being a family holiday hotel, it would really be for families with smaller children, because teenagers could well get bored in such a small place. Its position is really unsurpassed, and worth it for the views alone, never mind the excellent rooms, service, and food.
