Southern
St. Lucia -- with its small fishing villages, mountains and
valleys carpeted in rainforest -- is commonly described as
"the way the Caribbean used to be." Two miles from its sleepy
port of Soufriere, up a steep hill over hung with mango trees,
lies the most unique resort in the Caribbean
Ladera
looks as if it has grown out of the hilltop. Its 25 guest
rooms and stunning restaurant are all open -- literally --
to the fresh breezes and what must surely be the most breath-taking
view of the world.
