GENERAL INFORMATION |
|
Welcome to La Pirogue, the most authentic and Mauritian of resorts.
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.
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.

Dining and Restaurant
Flavours
From the lavish buffets of Thatches, the main restaurant, to romantic dinners under the thatch-tops of Paul et Virginie’s dining-islets overhanging the infinity pool, the food experience at La Pirogue is an exciting voyage of discovery through the flavours of the world, with a unique emphasis on demonstration, generosity and variety.
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, from 19h30 to 22h00, 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 et Virginie
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 Cafe
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 mouth-watering offering ranges from tasty light snacks to traditional dishes worthy of the best Italian restaurants, including giant prawns in Espeletta chilly pastry, crayfish-bisque lasagne, grilled crayfish with Mediterranean sauce, braised knuckle of lamb, and tiramisu.
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.
A must for savouring known cocktail recipes or the barman’s latest creations and for getting the best view of the evening’s show.
Water Sports
In the vast turquoise stretch of sea between the beach and the barrier reef, guests can learn and indulge in all manner of water sports.
Facilities include kayaks, water-skiing, lasers, snorkelling, windsurfing, glass-bottom-boat tours and surfvision. At the immense swimming-pool, moreover, guests can partake in aquagym. All these activities are free of charge.
Also worth discovering, subject to extra charge: undersea walks, parasailing, big-game fishing, scuba-diving, Super Tube, and towed banana-boat rides.
Giant-catamaran outings to Coconut Island and Ile aux Cerfs and cruises to the islands off the north coast, submarine dives, and dolphin-discovery excursions to mythical Tamarin Bay are also chargeable.
Big Game Fishing
Fancy the rush of adrenalin that comes with catching marlin, bonito or yellow-fin tuna, and perhaps even seeing your catch add to the number of world records already held by Mauritius.
The Black River Fishing Centre, one of the island’s most famous big-game-fishing operators, beckons for a thrilling adventure on board one of its superb cruisers manned by professional skippers and equipped with state-of-the-art gear and 30-, 50-, 80- and 130-lb lines.
Fishing expeditions last between half-a-day and a day. This is a chargeable activity. Bookings at the resort.
Scuba Diving
Gorgeous and teeming with fish, the coral ocean depths off La Pirogue and around Mauritius contain a number of celebrated diving sites.
Professional instructors from one of the island’s best diving clubs are on hand at the resort to teach beginners and take them through their paces, starting from basics in the swimming-pool.
Exciting discoveries await certified divers too: among them, a number of historic wrecks, the amazing Sharks’ Cave and the impressive Cathedral. The night dive is an experience not to be missed.
Land Sports
With our enthusiastic and dynamic team of sports coordinators, there is a host of land activities to discover.
Between the magnificent palm-grove and the beach, you will be spoilt for choice: discovery tours of the west coast on mountain-bikes or horseback, tennis, golf (all of these are chargeable, though tennis only partly so – see Tennis); and basket-polo, badminton, beach volleyball, aerobics, croquet, frisbee, jogging, mini-football, mini-golf, pétanque, table-tennis, and volleyball (all of which are free of charge).
Arrangements can also be made for quad-biking and karting (both chargeable activities) in the context of excursions in the vicinity of Port Louis.

Golf
La Pirogue has a mini-golf for children or aspirant golfers.
For keen golfers, the newly opened 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course, Tamarina Golf Club, is only a 15-minute drive from the Resort and special rates are available for our guests (see attached pdf file). The course and setting are unique, with vestiges of the course’s former use as hunting grounds still visible. There are dramatic views of the massive mountain range inland and the ocean to the west. The course itself crosses the River Rempart and long-established tamarind and other trees add a mature feeling to the site.
Horse Riding
The Riding Club is located just opposite the resort. It offers 45-minute rides along the beach – an exquisite experience on the immaculate sand early in the morning. The horses are ex-racehorses, splendid South African thoroughbreds all.
For children, the Club offers well supervised 30-minute pony-rides around the resort. This is a chargeable activity.
Fitness Centre
Access to the Centre, which is located at Sugar Beach Resort a short stroll across the palm-grove, is free of charge.
The Centre is fitted out with state-of-the-art Cybex gym equipment. Guests can train on their own or, subject to extra charge, under the supervision of competent trainers who are on hand to devise tailor-made programmes and monitor progress, on request.
The Centre’s offering also includes aerobics, group gym-initiation sessions, and stepping and stretching.
Shopping
La Pirogue’s boutiques propose a variety of gift ideas, including La Pirogue-branded clothing and other souvenirs as well as duty-free jewellery.
Many of the island sight-seeing tours on offer at the resort make provision for shopping time and even include visits of manufactures of such articles as ship models, all manner of clothing, Persian rugs, jewellery, and cut diamonds in their schedule.
Evening Entertainment
Mauritians are excellent musicians and singers, and séga, the country’s emblematic dance, frenetic in its rhythm, sensual in its movements, colourful in its expression, and showcased in La Pirogue’s Séga Evening, complete with traditional instruments (triangle and ravane) is an experience not to be missed under the stars.
There are also a number of variety shows, notably Zenfan des Iles (literally, children of the islands, meaning island-born), Africa Diaspora, and Salsa Carnival; and, of course, the resort’s resident band for dancing till the small hours of the morning, every night.
Couples
Thanks to its authentic and unique Mauritian charm, La Pirogue is a dream destination for couples. With its superb palm-grove, its cosy bungalows, its sunsets, the irresistible romantic charm of its beachside Paul et Virginie restaurant, and its evenings dancing under the stars, La Pirogue is the most beautiful testimonial of love.
The resort is a past master in organising weddings. Marrying guests can choose between two options: a romantic wedding on the immaculate beach by the Indian Ocean or a cosy ceremony in the gazebo in the luxuriant garden.
Charming special attentions await honeymoon couples too.
At La Pirogue, love vows take on the value of eternity.

Cottages
Cosy and full of warmth, the one-floor 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.
Standard Rooms
There are 200 Standard guest-rooms of 25 m2 each, 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.
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.
Royal 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.
Fruit basket on arrival, bright-coloured bouquets and harmonious arrangements of frangipani flowers add to the refinement.

|
Located on the west coast of Mauritius 35 km from the capital city of Port Louis, La Pirogue offers numerous excursion possibilities, notably in the beautifully natural south of the island.
Modelled on a fishing village, La Pirogue’s authentic and comfortable architecture is one of harmonious variations on the theme of a pirogue’s sail billowing in the wind, from the resort’s main building to its cottages of volcanic rock, wood and thatch.
