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.

My husband and I have just returned from a fantastic and relaxing 10 days stay at Paradise Cove.
Our bedroom (junior suite) was spacious, tastefully furnished with a beautiful view of the cove. It had a lovely terrace where we could sit and relax. We could see the sun rise from our bed every morning.
The food was very good in all the restaurants. We really loved having lunch at the Peninsula restaurant. The view on the Coin de Mire island is breathtaking. The XO restaurant (Japanese) was truly delicious. The breakfast buffet was amazing with a huge variety of food.
We used the gym and did the aqua gym and yoga classes. The instructors were excellent. We went snorkelling every morning.
What really made our stay so special was the kindness and smiles of all the people working at the hotel. Everyone was so nice and truly dedicated to look after their guests. Giovana made our room beautiful and clean every day. Kimberley and all the staff at reception were very efficient and helpful. I can't name all the waiters and cooks who looked after us so kindly every day for 10 days but would like to thank in particular Deepak, Nitesh, Rajesh, Ved, Sanjeet and Shubham.

The Stuff Of Dreams

My wife and I have just returned from the most magical 10 days at Paradise Cove.
We had never been to Mauritius before and it did not disappoint.
Everything about this hotel is special - the site itself is incredible, set around a cove with endless different places to sit and enjoy a peaceful day looking out over the lagoon or the sea.
The food is excellent and there is plenty of choice between the 4 restaurants. We particularly enjoyed our lunches at the Peninsula turtle watching and looking over the amazing green sea.
And then there are the staff.... I started making a list of all the staff I wanted to mention during our visit but then stopped as they are ALL, without exception, lovely, friendly and really keen that you have the best possible time. It therefore seems unfair to mention any one in particular.
A huge thank you to all the Paradise Cove team for giving us 10 days to remember- we will be back!

As everyone has said previously- this is a beautiful hotel- not too big with lovely staff.
The rooms and gardens were beautiful. The swimming pools were great. We used the spa for massages, did yoga & pilates and ate at all the restaurants. The quality of the food was excellent. We had the Gauthier vegan testing menu at the cove which was great, but tbh the standard was so high in the other restaurants that it did not really seem worth the supplement. All the restaurants had veggie and vegan options.
We went half board because we don’t really drink much alcohol and that worked well. Every morning having a three course breakfast accompanied by the tropical birds that live in the resort was a joy.
In terms of practicalities, our room had a couple of USB sockets so we didn’t need to use the chargers we’d brought. The coffee machine in our room took nespresso standard pods if you have any particular pods you like over the average ones you get in the room.
If you’re the kind of person who mosquitoes like, then use repellent all day. I used loads in the evening and still got bitten despite extra strong jungle formula. They have i bit of Dengue fever in Mauritius, so better to avoid if possible.
As everyone else says - just go and enjoy a quiet adult break in paradise!

Amazing hotel
Jan 26, 2025Puddingnpie1712Barrowford, United Kingdom
There is a perfect view everywhere you look. Plenty to do during the day but not enough quality evening entertainment. Food is fabulous, service amazing. Go all inclusive as it’s expensive if not.
