Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

Nestled in beautiful tropical gardens, Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel is a gorgeous adults-only boutique hotel, offering guests a secluded retreat from the world. Aptly named, it really is paradise here with a pristine white beach and exceptional views of the lagoon and the northern islands from the peninsula. Highly romantic, the resort even offers ‘love nest’ twin sun beds. Also recommended is a visit to Spa Cinq Mondes. Not only does it boast a pool, hammam and flower baths, you can treat yourself to an Indian Ayurvedic massage — sure to banish any lingering cares! At the Paradise Cove, water sports are very much the order of the day, from snorkelling to water-skiing. Come dusk, Stay Bar is the place to sip on tropical cocktails whilst admiring the sunset. There’s live and unplugged music here too but first enjoy dinner at a choice of restaurants. For local dishes, the Dining Room is ideal or experience Asian fusion cuisine at XO. For a real treat, book a table at The Cove — highly romantic, tables for two are set in small huts, right on the beach, beside a coconut grove.

An outstanding stay at a real paradise! We loved every moment at this beautiful hotel. We loved the room size and decoration and of course the fantastic location at the beach / own bay. Also fantastic food of finest quality was served at the different restaurants. We had such an enjoyable and relaxing stay!

After travelling to over 50 countries, I chose Paradise Cove for a special wedding anniversary and my 60th. The hotel itself is just beautiful, clean, well designed, and has the most beautiful gardens. The staff are friendly, helpful, and always smiling and will remember what you drink when you go to the bar, water and ice just appear when you are lying on the sun beds by a wonderful guy called Michael. The rooms are just immaculate. Cannot fault the hotel, staff, position of the hotel (fantastic sunsets), cleanliness, friendliness our holiday was just perfect. Christian, the manager must be very proud to be managing not only a fabulous hotel but to have an fabulous team working in the hotel. Can't wait to go back in the future Read less

We had a fantastic stay at Paradise Cove. The staff were attentive, helpful and made us very comfortable during our stay. There was plenty of choice for food. We were on our honeymoon and enjoyed a candlelight dinner at The Cove, as well as a fantastic meal at XO sushi restaurant. Everything was in one resort and provided excellent quality. Our drinks of choice were the frozen mango daiquiri and the frozen watermelon. Very tasty and refreshing by the sun struck ocean view. My wife and I would recommend Paradise Cove to anyone after a relaxing getaway in the sun or for any honeymooners (don’t worry, you won’t be overwhelmed by loved up couples, either). Thank you to everyone who made this a stay to remember! Read less

We can’t rate this hotel highly enough. It is set in a beautiful cove with lush well maintained gardens and has a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. The public spaces and bedrooms are tastefully decorated and the beds are so comfortable, we’ve had the best nights sleep in a long time. Facilities are very good, beautiful pools and lagoon, a luxury spa, gym, art, cookery, cycling, water and wellness activities etc. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and the restaurants serve varied dishes every day which are delicious. The staff are absolutely amazing, they are so kind efficient and welcoming, the hotel has a good staff training programme and it shows. A big shout out to a young staff member called Sahill who makes the most amazing cocktails and always wears a smile! We wouldn’t hesitate to return. Read less
