St. Lucia is not the easiest sell. It’s closer to Venezuela than Florida and about five hours from New York City on a nonstop; eight or more with a change of planes. Once there you learn that the island’s infrastructure is rough: The main north-south roads are mostly narrow two-laners. And then there’s this: “People going to the Caribbean expect to be on the beach, and in St. Lucia you’re not,” notes Andy Pesky, senior vice president of the retail-travel company Protravel International. Indeed, the island’s two most dramatic resorts, Ladera and Jade Mountain, are perched on steep mountainsides. The former has no beach of its own, and the one belonging to the latter is never going to make a World’s Best list (or even a World’s Second Best list). The draw at both is plenty of privacy, the hotel room as aerie, and a gorgeous view of the island’s iconic symbol, the Pitons, twin pointy peaks off the southwest coast that have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004.
