A day at Estella at La Pirogue, your way
30 September 2026
Saturday morning.
The balcony doors are open and the morning light is spilling in. Your partner is barefoot in the kitchen, deciding whether breakfast is happening here or somewhere else entirely. In the living room, cartoons are playing quietly for your five-year-old.
But this is not an ordinary Saturday morning.
You are in Mauritius, just a few steps from the beach, with nowhere you need to be just yet.
The fridge is already stocked with the things you asked for before you arrived, which means breakfast could happen right here. Or maybe cooking feels far too ambitious for a holiday and you wander over to La Pirogue or Sugar Beach for the buffet instead.
Either way, the morning is yours.
This is life at Estella at La Pirogue, the first opening from the Estella by Sunlife lifestyle collection. Serviced apartments and penthouses with the freedom of an apartment stay and resort life right next door.
Morning, your way
Breakfast done, the day is wide open.
Maybe everyone heads to the beach. Maybe half the family does while the others take things considerably slower, involving a sunbed and very little intention of moving.
Maybe your five-year-old decides Kids' Club sounds far more interesting than spending the morning with either of you.
Rude, but practical.
A little later, everyone finds each other again by the pool. Someone has sand absolutely everywhere. Nobody is entirely sure what time it is.
Exactly as it should be.
Wherever the day takes you
By now, everyone has their own idea of a good day.
You might drift between the pools, try something on the water, book a spa treatment or decide tennis suddenly sounds like a very good idea.
And with La Pirogue and Sugar Beach both part of your stay, moving between them never feels like making a plan. You simply follow the mood of the day.
A swim here. A walk there. Maybe something energetic. Maybe absolutely nothing for a while.
No itinerary required.
Back to Estella
Eventually, everyone drifts back.
Shoes off. Beach bags down. Towels appear on chairs they definitely were not meant for. Someone claims the sofa. Someone else disappears for a shower.
For a while, nobody is doing very much at all.
And that is part of the pleasure.
Maybe you remember tomorrow should involve a spa treatment. Maybe you decide tonight would be a very good night for a private chef. A few taps later, it is sorted.
Then the phone goes back down.
Then comes the important question
Dinner.
Maybe you cook. Maybe you absolutely do not.
Maybe dinner is at La Pirogue, maybe Sugar Beach wins, or maybe the sofa does.
Fair enough.
That is the beauty of Estella. You have the space and privacy of your apartment or penthouse when you want it, with resort life right there when you do not.
There is no correct version of the evening.
Thankfully.
And tomorrow?
Tomorrow might look completely different.
Breakfast out instead of in. A morning on the water. Lunch by the pool. An afternoon doing absolutely nothing.
Stay a few days and you start finding your favourites. Stay a little longer and a few holiday habits begin to creep in.
The pool you keep going back to. The path to the beach you stop thinking about. The sunset that starts feeling less like an event and more like part of the day.
That is the kind of holiday Estella is made for.
Not one where every moment is planned. One where you have the freedom to decide as you go.
Even if what you decide is not very much at all.
Estella at La Pirogue opens on 1 December. Be the first to experience it and stay your way.
