The big question is whether the rooms with their rustic finishes – think wood and thatched roofs and interior walls of rough stone that have been painted over - appeal to your specific taste or not, and the answer will probably determine whether La Pirogue makes it onto your shopping list or not. The accommodation at La Pirogue is grouped in small villages laid out in an arcs amongst the literally hundreds of palm trees that lie scattered in the resort’s spacious grounds. The rustic feel is a million miles away from the more modern but arguably much less characterful designs of many of its competitors – it also gives La Pirogue a uniquely informal ambience that’s hugely popular with families and water sports enthusiasts alike.
Dotted through the lush gardens and arranged in a relaxed village-style layout, are thatched cottages made from volcanic rock and wood that house the charming rooms with their whitewashed rough stone walls complemented by splashes of vividly coloured drapes and soft furnishings. The La Pirogue takes pride in billing itself as “the most authentic Mauritian resort” and it certainly does have a very traditional feel with the buildings inspired by the billowing pirogue sails of the traditional fishing boats from which the hotel takes its name.
La Pirogue is situated along one of the longest and finest beaches on the island - the stunning ribbon of white powder sand that is Flic en Flac - right next door to its sister resort, the more upmarket Sugar Beach.
