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.
