![]() ![]() They even have their own pool! Your moody teenager will also be catered for with the teen’s club where they can play the latest computer games, enjoy music and join in fun outings like island picnics and teen beach BBQ’s. The fantastic beach will no doubt delight the kids and there’s also the Sun Kid’s Club to keep them amused with loads of fun activities (like wind surfing or pony riding) as well as special menus, buffets and barbecues specifically prepared for the kids. Land-based activities include tennis and horse-riding, and for golfers the hotel offers mini-golf while the 18-hole Tamarina Golf Club, a 15-minute drive away, offers special rates to guests. ![]() For those people who prefer to just look at the sea as opposed to actually swimming in it (and you’ll be amazed at how many people are like that!) they’ll no doubt gravitate to the gorgeous infinity swimming pool. For an extra fee, guests can opt for undersea walks, parasailing, big game fishing and banana boat rides plus catamaran trips, submarine outings and dolphin-spotting. Guests can wander through the palm grove studded with colourful hibiscus and fragrant frangipani down to the resort's beach - one of the longest and finest stretches of sand on the island - where an impressive choice of water sports is offered free of charge: from kayaking to water-skiing, windsurfing, glass-bottom boat rides, snorkeling and sailing. There are 170 Standard Garden and Bungalow rooms, some of them with interleading doors which are ideal for families – they are on the small side at around 25 m² but can nonetheless accommodate 2 adults and a child at a squeeze (although 2 connected rooms would be infinitely more comfortable for all involved) If you can stretch a bit more then we would definitely suggest upgrading to 1 of the 40 Beach Pavilion rooms which are both larger (at 35 m² - and 2 kids can be accommodated) and have a better position closer to the beach. 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. ![]()
