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. The hotel boasts a fantastic range of facilities for all the family, including a 1,000sq m infinity pool with a floating Jacuzzi, a spa, sumptuous dining options and a daily supervised kids' and teens' club. 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.
