La Pirogue

About La Pirogue

La Pirogue’s 248 rooms and suites are housed in thatched roof bungalows inspired by the traditional Mauritian fishing boats from which the resort takes its name. All rooms are air conditioned and equipped with a private furnished terrace, a bath and rain shower, flat screen TV, mini bar and complimentary WiFi. Beach Pavilions are just a few feet from the beach, or upgrade to a spacious Senior Suite Pavilion with private beach gazebo and butler service.

Dramatically set below the ancient amphitheatre, overlooking the medieval rooftops of Taormina, the location of the Timeo is just sublime. It's the perfect place to sip a Bellini and gaze across the volcanic coastline of Sicily at the hazy outline of Mount Etna on the horizon. One of the most scenically situated hotels in the Mediterranean, combining old world charm with hearty Sicilian hospitality, a perfect base from which to explore this extraordinary island. 



Best Time to Travel to La Pirogue

Mauritius, a tropical island paradise in the Indian Ocean, offers travelers a year-round escape to pristine beaches, lush landscapes, and a rich cultural heritage.

**Dry Season (May to October):** The dry season in Mauritius is the most popular time to visit. From May to October, the weather is sunny and dry, with cooler temperatures and gentle trade winds. This is the perfect time for beach lovers, water sports enthusiasts, and outdoor activities. Explore the beautiful beaches of Belle Mare, visit the colorful botanical gardens in Pamplemousses, or go hiking in the Black River Gorges National Park.

**Wet Season (November to April):** The wet season in Mauritius brings warmer temperatures and occasional rain showers, as it falls within the cyclone season. However, it's still possible to visit, and this season offers lush green landscapes, fewer tourists, and lower prices. It's an excellent time for experiencing cultural activities, such as the Thaipoosam Cavadee festival, and exploring the island's unique culture and cuisine.

Whether you're relaxing in a luxury resort, snorkeling in the clear turquoise waters, or savoring Creole dishes like seafood curry, Mauritius promises a tranquil and idyllic escape year-round. Discover the magic of this Indian Ocean paradise and create lasting memories in this tropical haven.
