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.

Paradise cove is certainly the best hotel that I've ever been to. Firstly, I had planned to propose on the trip and the team (mainly Kacey) were just amazing at helping to plan the event whilst understanding the importance of my budget. The event itself went flawlessly and every member of staff was communicated to so there were no slip ups which resulted in the proposal going perfectly according to plan. Every member of staff was so helpful and always wanting to make sure that you didn't have to lift a finger during the stay. I particularly loved the different areas where you could spend the day with different views each time so every day felt different. The food was impeccable and did not have the "all inclusive-same old buffet" that a lot of bigger hotels fall foul to which makes it feel very special and again, no two days were the same. Read less

cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. We enjoyed every single moment of our stay at Paradise Cove. The location, design and decor and nothing less than absolutely stunning. There's plenty choice in terms of places to lounge for the day, with three swimming pools, the beach and plenty of waterfront hangouts around the cove/peninsula. Also, with four different restaurants to choose from there's always something new as far as dining options (and the food is amazing!). With only 70-something rooms it's incredibly peaceful and you never have to fight for space anywhere. Oh and I have to give a mention to the cocktail menu, which was fantastic. The amount of available activities was also a delight, with tennis, archery, rum tasting, star gazing, peddlos, paddle boards, glass bottom boat etc all a part of the all inclusive package. The staff were also incredibly helpful in organising day trips (even providing a packed lunch) and providing information and contacts for any activities they didn't offer directly (e.g. scuba diving). I can also higky recommend the spa and their full body massage. Lastly, I just wanted to highlight how amazing the staff at Paradise Cove are. The service was impeccable and they made us feel welcome from the second we arrived and went to great lengths to make sure we enjoyed every second. They genuinely made our stay so perfect and even went above and beyond helping my partner organise a special surprise. If I could give them higher than 5 stars I would. Read less

Paradise Cove is exactly as it’s called, Paradise. We stayed for 10 days from 14/06 to the 24/06 and it was the most incredible 10 days on our honeymoon. From the moment we turned up to the moment we left, we had the most amazing experience and magical time staying here. We had welcome cocktails brought to us when we arrived, which were non-alcoholic and the perfect refreshment after a long flight! We then went through the check-in process with a member of the reception team (annoyingly I can’t remember her name!), followed by a tour of the hotel. We were then very lucky, and our room was ready for us early. On entering our room, we had everything shown to us, and there were some honeymoon treats as well! If you’re on your honeymoon, make sure to add it to the notes or select the honeymoon package, it is worth it. We had a cocktail making session and a cookery class as part of the package as well, and these were great fun, the drink was delicious and the food was just amazing! The hotel has 4 dedicated restaurants, The Dining Room, XO, Peninsula, The Cove and then the Stay Bar has a lunch menu. We did sample all of the restaurants, do note that The Cove is not included in any of the packages, but it is definitely worth the price if you want a romantic meal, and you like lobster!! All of the meals that we ate were out of this world, from our first lunch at Peninsula, we were in food heaven. The sushi menu at XO is incredible, the food is so full of flavour and after the 4 courses you don’t feel stuffed at all. The Dining Room has a great mix of buffet meals or a la carte menus. We sampled Mauritian food, Indian food, BBQ food to just name a few. Breakfast is also served in the dining room, and the pancake chef Milan, makes the best pancakes!!! Definitely see Milan for the pancakes at least once! The Peninsula is where most people go for lunch. The menu is incredible, the pizza’s are massive, the steaks are massive and the pasta is really tasty too! The Peninsula is right on the seafront, so you get incredible views as well!! Whilst we were at Paradise Cove we took part in two of the you&me moments that they do, one was the couples massage down next to the sea, which was really relaxing, listening to the waves as you get your massage. The massage was also incredible. We then also went on the sunset cruise and that was out of this world!! The two crew members were amazing, the food provided was lovely and the music was top notch! The sunset was just mesmerising, the hotel arranges everything and then confirms it via whatsapp, and Kimberly was a great help in doing this, especially when we need to rearrange it! We also went down to the Boathouse, and did some paddle boarding, went out on a pedalo, and we also went snorkelling with the marine conservation group. The snorkelling was incredible, the amount of fish we saw was immeasurable. The leaders of the session were so informative, they welcomed any questions, and the whole session was really well run. I would really recommend this to anyone that enjoys snorkelling!! There were also some incredible members of staff on our stay Premila our housekeeper made sure our room was spotlessly clean everyday, Milan made the best pancakes I’ve ever had, Yoshid was great at the bar, Adran (I think) was also great at the bar, Kimberly was brilliant at helping us getting trips booked in. We will 100% be coming back to Paradise Cove!! Ben and Shannon :) Read less

I stayed at Paradise Cove for 2 weeks in the middle weeks of June 2025. What more can I say than excellent. It was mine and my friends first holiday for various reasons in 8 years. We could not have asked for more. The hotel, the rooms, the food etc etc etc were marvellous. The staff were also excellent, they went above and beyond to make our stay… Read more
I stayed at Paradise Cove for 2 weeks in the middle weeks of June 2025. What more can I say than excellent. It was mine and my friends first holiday for various reasons in 8 years. We could not have asked for more. The hotel, the rooms, the food etc etc etc were marvellous. The staff were also excellent, they went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Would I recommend the hotel; too right I would. June is classed as the start of Mauritian winter, but is also one of the driest month. Yes there were a few showers of rain but the temperature was ideal for us at 24C or there abouts in the daytime. Dont let the thought of it being winter put you off. Its ideal in my mind.
