100% Africa !

Nestled alongside the east coast of Africa, the island of Mauritius is a place of incredible natural beauty. Visitors will find that it is four hours ahead of GMT and two hours ahead of South African time, making it a four hour flight from Johannesburg. You’ll be relieved to know that you don’t need a visa to visit Mauritius, but you need to ensure that your passport is valid for six months after the date of your departure. Those visitors lucky enough to be travelling on honeymoon, please remember to take your marriage certificate with you!
Now get ready to walk around in your swimming costume, sip cocktails at leisure, and simply relax. One of the best hotels you can visit when in Mauritius is La Pirogue. Offering a welcome as warm as the sun, La Pirogue typifies the Mauritian experience: deeply enigmatic, exquisitely tranquil, delightfully friendly and filled with endless fun.
La Pirogue is a true reflection of Mauritius, with blues and greens and golds and pale shades of white to tempt you with the blue water, the lush green trees, the beautiful golden and white sands. What more do you need?
This hotel is an ode to the island’s fishing culture, enhanced by the rustic charm of volcanic rock, warm wood, thatch, coral and vanilla. Unique in style, design and décor, you simply can’t get better than this. Everything about this hotel will intrigue you, invite you, and it won’t leave you disappointed either.
And what better way to get your appetite going than with a sumptuous cuisine, with bountiful dishes and intricate tastes. With it’s multi-themed buffet, or romantic candlelit evenings, or simply every delicious detail in between. The choices are bountiful, with a never ending supply to choose from, so don’t feel bad if you’d prefer to have one for the first evening and another the next evening, but leave regret not having had a taste of all of them!
But don’t be fooled. The calmness, that unique relaxing-holiday feel that La Pirogue captures during the day with its harmonious combination of sun-drenched loungers, poolside decks, open play areas and intimate sports, that is all released for fun and activities when the moon comes up. Then, it’s party time! Beautiful nights call for elaborate culture. Smiles and dancing, joy and music, pleasure and of course, star-filled skies, are garnished with attentiveness and generosity. Let yourself go and move to the rhythm. Take part in the festivities and take the opportunity now that you’ll more than likely never find in your normal day.
Take part in the various activities offered, La Pirogue is dedicated to the sea and it’s pleasures. It’s dedicated to the land and it’s games. Go scuba-diving, water-skiing, or windsurfing. Play tennis, aerobics, have a blast in the pool and more! It truly is an oasis of excitement!
And last but not least, don’t forget The Aura Spa, with opportunity for both couples and single treatment rooms, it’s the ultimate therapy for that well relaxed holiday you were looking for. La Pirogue is as glorious as the fragrant frangipani; as charming as the bobbing waterlily. With all of the authentic beauty of a genuine Mauritian pirogue; all of the luxury you’d expect; and all of the special touches you’d never anticipate, La Pirogue is an exceptional resort.
