LOCATION
: 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 1,000 square 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 (25 mins),
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.
