The magnificent beach stretches along the crystal-clear sea protected by the barrier reef further out. All along the beach, a vast, luxuriant palm-grove basks in the sweet fragrances of frangipani.

Welcome to La Pirogue, the most authentic and Mauritian of resorts. With its superb new infinity pool, remodelled restaurants and redecorated guest-rooms, the renovated resort has even greater appeal.

Between the beach and the Indian Ocean the days are too short to experience all the activities on offer. Pulsating to the rhythm of enthralling shows, the tropical night is no less intense.

With its romantic tropical atmosphere and its warm-hearted personnel, ever attentive to guests’ needs, La Pirogue more than ever keeps its promises of thoroughly gratifying, unforgettable holidays.

Hotel Accommodation
Cottages:
Cosy and full of warmth, the individual cottages nestle amid colourful splashes of hibiscus and frangipani in the 14 hectares palm-grove and open privately on the garden and the Indian Ocean.

They are grouped in small villages laid out in an arc. Each cottage houses one Superior or two Standard guest-rooms. There are also two Royal Suites, each in a more spacious cottage of its own.

Basking in light and the warm shades of coral and vanilla, the guest-rooms provide all the comfort one might wish for on a relaxed holiday, including a furnished private terrace from which to savour the most beautiful sunsets.

The Standard Room:
There are 200 Standard guest-rooms, some communicating, which is ideal for families.

Bathed in light and warmth, with fragrant frangipani flowers delicately disposed here and there and ceiling fans with large blades of marine wood, the guest-rooms and their terraces are an invitation to lazing about and day-dreaming.

The Superior Rooms:
The 46 Superior guest-rooms, of 35 m2 each, are grouped in small villages immediately fronting the Indian Ocean.

Each can accommodate a family of four (provided the two children are under twelve years of age) thanks to a sofa-bed or two convertible armchairs.

The Suites:
Located in the northern part of the resort, the two 78-m2 Royal Suites: Bougainvillaea and Flamboyant, each occupy a larger cottage. At once very private, with their own private garden, and close to the heart of the resort, they open onto the palm-grove and the sea.

Superbly appointed in the refined and elegant Asian style furniture, they are particularly bright and pleasing, with a large bedroom and separate lounge and dining-room.

The terrace offers a privileged upfront view of the magnificent beach and crystal-clear sea.

Hotel Restaurants and Bars
DINING:

Thatches:
Completely redesigned and now more spacious and tropical, the main restaurant, Thatches, provides a great energy-and-vitamin start to the day with its copious and appetising breakfast buffets in its dining-room opening onto the garden or overlooking its decorative pool. In the evening Thatches showcases demonstrative World Cuisine for a totally new dining experience, with six themed live-cooking stations: a stir-fry and fresh-noodle station; an Indian station with its tandoor oven for traditional local cuisine; a huge salad station; a fresh-pasta and pizza station; a grill-and-tepanyaki station; and a multitude of desserts as well as an Ice-Cream Bar to complete the array.

Paul & Viginie:
Immediately fronting the Indian Ocean, the renovated Paul et Virginie Restaurant has enhanced its romantic appeal yet further with the cosiness of small thatch-roofed dining pavillons overhanging the new infinity pool.

Citronella's:
Facing the sea, between La Pirogue and Sugar Beach Resort, guests can savour the delights of the Mediterranean’s sunny cuisines in the cordial warmth of Citronella’s dining-room, with its fine wrought-iron tables, or in the shade of the café’s teak terrace.

The Blue Bar:
Located at the heart of the resort, next to Thatches, the main restaurant, the Blue Bar, with its blue-granite décor, electric-blue lighting, and tropical, contemporary blue cocktails, is the privileged core of the resort’s nightlife and entertainment.

The Beach Bar:
Overlooking the beach, the wood-and-thatch Beach Bar offers the best panorama in the resort: the sea’s superb palette of blues with the mountain scenery of Black River Gorges and Le Morne in the background.
