The hotel

Nestled in the heart of a coconut plantation bordering one of the island's finest beaches, La Pirogue is built in the style of a fisherman's village with each room housed in thatched cottages scattered throughout the beautiful spacious gardens.

When evening hits, La Morne beach bar offers live entertainment or DJ's, and alongside the roaring bonfire, this makes for an excellent spot for a nightcap.

We had a wonderful two weeks at La Pirogue. Our 8-year-old daughter absolutely loved the kids club. The activities were varied, including water activities, cultural experiences, art, and playtime. The team welcomed her warmly and were very engaging. Special thanks to Krishna and the team. The resort was beautiful, spacious, and despite being busy, it never felt crowded. We stayed on a half-board plan and found the food to be delicious and diverse, with different regional themes each evening. The BBQ evening is a must, though it comes at an extra cost, it is well worth it. We organized a whale watching tour through the hotel, which was the most magical experience. The rooms, grounds, and overall resort experience were exceptional. Read less

From the moment we arrived, everything was made easy, getting our luggage to our room, daily room service, always with friendly smiles. The setting is like paradise being right on the ocean front. The restaurants (3 of them!) are amazing with the variety of foods offered. Employees are very kind and helpful, always ready to help. Will be sure to come back here, hopefully soon. Read less

A resort that has stood the test of time. Separate thatch villas / bungalows spread in horseshoes across the massive beachfront property gives the resort a relaxed, authentic feel. This feeling of space is mirrored in the layout of the main buffet restuarant, the Wolmar (which has fantastic variety).
