Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Star 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.

Had the best 11 days holiday possible at Paradise Cove the hotel is absolutely first class. The attention to detail in every area that you walked into was so well thought out and of a very high standard. Our rooms were exquisite, spacious and very comfortable. I cannot recommend this hotel enough, the food was outstanding, the Japanese restaurant and the Peninsula were amazing, the a la carte service was superb and all the staff went above and beyond to make the holiday the best ever, Its hard to remember everyones name to thank individually, however everyone in reception especially Alison were extremely helpful and friendly and could not do enough for us, Yashna and Kimberly were also great. Manoj you are a true gentleman, thank you for looking after us. Many thanks to Tulsi and Dev in the main bar and Yushal along with Selya and many more. We really hope we can return to your fabulous Island and hotel in the near future. Read less

A fabulous seven nights at this gorgeous hotel. It was my birthday while we were there and the team made it a special one. In fact, the team in general were fantastic. A special shout-out to John, Shubham, Rajesh and Anastasia. I also have to mention Ally, our taxi driver, who is affiliated to the hotel and who ended up being our go-to as we explored the island. He is an absolute superstar. If I had to find any down sides, it would be the lack of what I would deem a proper beach - open to the waves - but that's nit-picking. We loved our stay. Read less

Wow, this hotel is absolutely incredible. We booked 1 week all inclusive and never wanted to leave. The food was amazing, waiters always friendly and remembered room number and drinks order. There was always a sun lounger available no matter what time of day, no one reserving sunbeds early in the morning. It’s complete bliss. A few days into our… Read more
Wow, this hotel is absolutely incredible. We booked 1 week all inclusive and never wanted to leave. The food was amazing, waiters always friendly and remembered room number and drinks order. There was always a sun lounger available no matter what time of day, no one reserving sunbeds early in the morning. It’s complete bliss. A few days into our stay we were sent a feedback form. I mentioned it would be nice to have a paper menu for restaurants rather than a QR code. That evening a member of staff came to find us and kindly explained that paper menus are available on request. I have no doubt that if we had any issues, these would be rectified asap.. although I think you’d struggle to find a real issue in this hotel. Our flight back home was cancelled (nothing to do with the hotel) and the airline put us in a temporary hotel, and wow this really made us appreciate just how spectacular Paradise Cove is compared to your regular hotel. We can’t wait to return Read less

We had a wonderful time, the hotel is a perfect size with 3 great pools although we all preferred to swim in the sea. The beach on the cove is sheltered from the waves and wind and enabled the older group members to swim in the sea but was a bit pond like and the sand quite hard. The ladders to get into the proper sea required a degree of upper body strength but the water was warm and well worth swimming in. The watersports were fun, the free snorkling should be done on a day when the marine biologists guide if possible, the wind did however get too strong on some days for any activities with sails and then the sea was choppy to swim in. There were always available sunloungers and secret spots to settle into with call buttons on the parasols for refreshments. The included restaurants served great food and managed to cater for all our dietary requirements with a bit of notice. I loved the free pilates and yoga and had great fun burning a few calories at aqua aerobics with Ivan, these activities should be publicised more as they were one of my highlights. The tennis courts were well maintained and easy to book and there were boules which could be borrowed to play around the resort. There was a wonderful selection of cocktails and mocktails but the bar staff would always make one to order if asked. The resort staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming both before and during our stay and any feedback acted on incredibly quickly. Read less
