Hit the St. Lucia Jazz Festival: 4th Night Free at Ladera, the Eco-Luxury Resort

The Ladera Resort is reason enough to head to St. Lucia in May. Rated among the best hotels in the Caribbean (and the world) by readers of Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure, Ladera is a dreamy hideaway perched high above the sparkling sea, its 9 villas and 23 suites each featuring an open wall so that guests have an open-air experience in the rainforest, taking in spectacular views over the Caribbean. But May also marks the 19th anniversary of the St. Lucia Jazz Festival, a 10-day jazz extravaganza with a star-studded line-up from the US, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and Europe. From formal performances to open-air concerts to late-night club events, St Lucia Jazz offers a range of exciting shows. This May event has evolved into one of the most anticipated on the Caribbean's calendar. Check into Ladera-- where you'll dig the swanky, eco-chic accommodations and farm-to-table menus at Dasheene-- and you can score a fourth night free. Subject to availability, this offer is available until December 20, 2010.
