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.

Wow what an experience. We are currently on honeymoon and today my husband and I experienced a couples oriental full body massage at Cinq Mandes Spa. On arrival the receptionist was very welcoming and friendly. The spa has a tranquil feel. The therapy room was a “wow”, open atmosphere of water feature , sound of the birds, providing pure relaxation. Today was the first time my husband had a massage but I don’t think it will be his last. I have regular massages back home in the UK but today’s was amazing, relaxing, the scents of the oils and pressure where needed. Thank you to Lora and Joanne for making it a relaxing experience. We highly recommend a visit. Read less
