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.

We have just returned from 14 nights at Paradise Cove and what a wonderful holiday we have had. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel special by the wonderful staff who gave us cold facecloths and a welcome drink before showing us around this beautiful resort. We stayed in a junior suite which was beautiful and kept immaculately clean by the lovely staff including Kaymina. The restaurants are all fantastic with the choice of food being wide ranging and all delicious. We were on the all inclusive package so made full use of trying lots of different cocktails too. We specifically wanted a relaxing holiday so didn’t do many activities but we did go on the snorkelling trip and the glass bottom boat trip which were included in the price. The grounds of the hotel are stunning and the staff work so hard to keep them looking so good including raking the sand every day on the cove beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful lobster meal at The Cove restaurant (extra charge but very well worth it). The entertainment in the evenings was top class with some very talented musicians. Singers and dancers. Without exception all of the staff are amazing but special mention must go to Michael who looked after us so well on the beqch by bringing us our favourite drinks, cold cucumber slices for our eyes and fruit shots all with a big smile on his face. Also Sandhya who was so lovely as was Sangeeta and Navina too many people to name as all the staff are fantastic and made our holiday special. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel to everyone and cannot wait to return one day thank you everyone from Helen & James x Read less
