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.

Just home from an unforgettable stay at Paradise Cove. This was part of our honeymoon & we both couldn’t rate this boutique hotel highly enough. From start to finish the experience was fantastic. The staff here are genuine and friendly, & just excellent in their roles. The food at breakfast was excellent quality with lots of choice, & dinner/lunch options in any of the hotel’s offerings was always very good. The layout and setting of the hotel was lovely, with a few different pools, a beach area, and numerous areas both communal and quite private for lounging. The hotel has a really relaxing feel & is perfect if you want a peaceful escape. Wish we could return soon. Read less

Wonderful boutique hotel. Rooms are beautifully decorated with super comfy large beds. Great amount of activities on offer, not too many overwhelming options, just enough if you enjoy breaking up the day with something new to try or experience. Staff very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Beautifully kept beach and constant cleaning of public areas. The Dining Room has stunning food, fine dining style and the buffet evenings meant you could sample different dishes and new things. As honeymooners, we got to do cocktail & cooking demo, a special honeymoon dinner and we paid extra for a private sunset cruise. The location is very quiet but this wasn't a concern of ours, as the hotel provided more than enough for us. The Peninsula has stunning views and has a lovely lunch menu with a variety of options. One particular thing about this hotel I loved, was the private cabin they provide on the day of your departure, if you have to check out before you are due to leave. It has a shower, toilet, usb charging point, hairdryer, all amenities etc. Staff take your bags there for you so you can carry on and enjoy your last day, then have everything you need to get ready in private and comfort before departure. One particular member of staff there, Micheal, a wonderful man who went above and beyond, always checking on us, making our stay very special! Highly recommend. Read less

Very beautiful hotel at the beach with much privacy. Good service. The hotel has plenty of sunbeds and private nets at the pool, garden and beach, so you can avoid the resort feeling. The hotel has four different restaurants with delicious food - and provides gluten free alternatives (and is generally good to handle allergies).

It certainly lived up to its name. We enjoyed 3 weeks at this hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to return. The food is phenomenal, we paid to be all inclusive and we were not disappointed, the 3 a la carte restaurants were fabulous and even the buffet was wonderful.

It certainly lived up to its name. We enjoyed 3 weeks at this hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to return. The food is phenomenal, we paid to be all inclusive and we were not disappointed, the 3 a la carte restaurants were fabulous and even the buffet was wonderful. The place is small and quiet and there are plenty of little private spots to lounge about and relax. The staff are warm and friendly, everywhere you look is pristine and the grounds are just divine. The water-sports are fab, the excursions the hotel offer are all wonderful, and if you want to explore simply ask concierge to order you a cab and they will drive you around the whole island including lunch stop and all the main sights… our holiday based out of paradise cove was one to remember, we will always compare every holiday to here now. This place was the best! Read less
