La Pirogue Resort Mauritius

Overview

This place is perfect for a romantic retreat, but it's also family-friendly so you can bring the little'uns along (there's a kids' club that we're sure they'll enjoy). It's got stunning rooms, three restaurants to choose from and a whole load of unique experiences for memory-making on your jollies. How does breakfast on a boat sound? Or eating fresh fruit from the resort's storytelling, bicycle-riding fruit vendor? Pretty cool, if you ask us.
