Wellness is the core of the BodyHoliday experience, with a daily spa treatment included for every guest, plus fitness classes, yoga, and holistic programming throughout the day.

  • One spa treatment per guest per day included in the rate
  • Fitness classes, yoga, meditation, and wellness workshops

Ladera Resort – Spa Experience

  • Spa treatments available à la carte
  • Focus is on suite privacy, views, and romantic atmosphere
  • Ideal if you want spa as an option, not the main event

If daily included spa treatments and structured wellness programming matter most, BodyHoliday is the clear choice.

  • Rainforest hillside setting between the Pitons
  • No on-site beach—focus is on views, relaxation, and exploring the area
