Inspired by the famous fishing boats of Mauritius from which the hotel takes its name, La Pirogue’s unique architectural style is enhanced in its guestrooms by the added rustic warmth of wood and thatch. The chalets which all open privately on the hotel’s magnificent palm-grove of over 1000 coconut trees amid which they nestle, as well as on the sea, feature new shades of coral and vanilla and greater comfort throughout, bathroom included.
The hotel boats a magnificent pool of 1000 sq metres, that merges into the Indian Ocean. A harmonious combination of intimately cosy coves and open play areas, this “pool of pools” with its islets, the renovated Paul & Virginie restaurant and the Beach Bar will become the new heart of La Pirogue.
The lobby for its part has been enlarged and enlivened and offers an exciting view of the superb panorama. La Pirogue is a celebration of the best in world astronomy, with marked emphasis on demonstration, generosity and variety, both at its main restaurant and at Paul & Virginie, around the pool and by the beach.
More than ever La Pirogue reasserts its vocation as a hotel dedicated to the sea and to its pleasures, shared with a loved one, or with family or friends, for the most wonderful of tropical holiday memories.
Modelled on a fishing village, La Pirogue hotel, on the west coast of the island, is contiguous to its sister hotel, Sugar Beach Resort, which also belongs to the Managed by One&Only Resorts Group. It is located along one of the country’s finest beaches, of immaculate white sand, over one kilometre long. In addition, it nestles in a magnificent tropical garden, a remarkable palm-grove of 8 hectares pleasantly punctuated with colourful hibiscus and fragrant frangipani. Everything here is reminiscent of the traditional Mauritian fishing boat from which the hotel takes its name – from the main building inspired by a white sail floating in the wind, to the chalets built in local volcanic rock and crowned with wood and thatch. Merging into the Indian Ocean, the new infinity pool of 1000 sq metres is an invitation to relaxation and happiness.
The hotel is ideally situated in the proximity of the island’s main commercial centres of Port Louis (25mins), Quatre Bornes (20 mins) and Curepipe (45 mins). By virtue of its west coast location, La Pirogue presents numerous excursion opportunities, notably to Casela Bird Park, the private hunting ground of Yemen, Chamarel and its seven coloured earth, and the natural south. Another destination of interest is Black River with its celebrated big-game fishing clubs.
