Paradise Cove Mauritius

When an infinity pool overlooking a turquoise lagoon is the least of a hotel’s charms, you know you’ve found somewhere truly special. Dedicated to creating a magical setting for memorable moments, Paradise Cove provides all you could want from a boutique island escape.

A luxury retreat here can be as laid-back or action-packed as you wish. Spend the day by the pool, sipping iced tea or cool cocktails. Lose yourself in the tropical gardens with waterside love nests made for two.

Then book a massage beside the lagoon for you and a loved one. Or make for the beach to glide across the sea on a paddleboard, before leaping above the waves with a kite surfing lesson. There’s just as much to see after sundown.

Take your pick from four sleek restaurants, serving everything from Mauritian seafood to sushi at XO or Tapas of the World at Peninsula restaurant. Sample local rums and listen to live music – or seek out a secluded spot to stargaze.

Situated on the north coast of Mauritius at Anse la Raie, the hotel enjoys an exclusive site with its natural cove, its love nests and its peninsula. The lively village of Grand Baie is situated 10 minutes away by car and the authentic fishermen’s village of Cap Malheureux only 2.5 km away.

SENIOR SUITE
Each piece of furniture, each decorative item of the newly refurbished Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel has its personal story to share. A very comfortable and welcoming bedroom with marble top bedside tables and a tropical wallpaper. In the lounge area, the Persian carpet, desk, chair, copper and opaline lamp all come from antique shops.

JUNIOR SUITE
The Prestige Junior Suites are peaceful and luminous. The light wood floor and furniture, rattan, white ceiling and walls, contribute to that chic and warm atmosphere. A beautiful wallpaper behind the fourposter bed is not only a reminder of the surrounding nature but that we are here in Mauritius, a tropical island on the 20º parallel South!

DINING ROOM
The Dining Room is the hotel’s main restaurant for breakfast and dinner. White china and elegant cutlery for a chic look and an introduction to contemporary Mauritian food revisité… A real feel and taste of Mauritius.

XO
Sophisticated yet cosy, XO takes us on a different voyage around healthy sushi! Discover and enjoy subtle blends of herbs, spices and fruits.

THE COVE
A romantic smart sea food treat at The Cove is a one-off must during your holiday… Nestled among coconut trees, in-between the main swimming pool and the cove, they are in total harmony with the lagoon.

PENINSULA RESTAURANT
Only a few strides from the shore and overlooking the lagoon, the contemporary and trendy Peninsula Restaurant offers a wide choice of Tapas of the World and meals to share. It is the ideal place to be at lunch and dinner!

At the far end, the Peninsula overlooking the turquoise lagoon and offering a spectacular view on the northern islands has been totally rethought and creates the surprise. In the midst of coconut trees, bougainvillea, wood and thatch, the wooden deck and its’ various lounges to laze and tan contribute to that indoor-outdoor experience.

The colours are earthy, the feel is organic. The infinity pool almost overflows in the sea. The atmosphere is always trendy and sparkling with a friendly bar and a lunch and dinner restaurant it is undoubtedly a special place within a place!

4 BARS
The 3 bars share that warm, cocoon, relaxed atmosphere. They create the link between inside and outside. At sunset, live acoustic music and piano-bar are an absolute guarantee of a nice evening within a sparkling and bubbling atmosphere.

The Rum Gallery and S’Cellar remain Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel’s favourite of the connoisseurs and lovers of wine and rum. The tea-bar with its mint and rose colour ceramic wall in the background, is a new a refreshing and enjoyable stop!

The “Rum Gallery” and its bar are discreetly and comfortably tucked away in the lobby. The “Rum Gallery” open all day, offers a selection of Rums chosen not only among the best in the region but also among the best in the world.

A splendid cave of Southern Hemisphere wines among others: New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Argentina and Chili. The wine-waiter’s advice is precious to make the right choice among this exclusive range of wines from the new continents.

GARDEN
Bougainvillea, frangipani, hibiscus… a luxuriant vegetation and a peaceful garden. Trees, plants, shrubs, lianas and flowers whose perfumes linger in the air are a sheer delight to our eyes.

PENINSULA BAR
Also, only a few strides from the shore and overlooking the lagoon, within a sparkling and bubbling atmosphere the Peninsula Bar is waiting for you!

At dusk, the sunset is breath taking. In the sky, a fascinating and unique mixture of colours, from pink and orange to many shades of mauve and indigo. Soon the moon rises, its silver reflection on an almost still ocean announcing the end of the day and the ultimate magic moments of a tropical night.

INFINITY POOL
The line between pool and ocean is so fine it gives the impression that the pool simply merges into the ocean and by stretching the arm one could easily reach the water! Fitted with a superb wooden deck and comfortable sunbeds it is the ideal place for suntan and relax. The view on the northern islands is spectacular.

THE LOVE NEST
Along the path leading to the Peninsula, between latania and palm trees, hidden from prying eyes… here are the love nests. A place to relax and unwind, lulled by the birdsong and the murmur of the waves.

Fill your lungs with fresh Indian Ocean air, enjoy the view and catch a glimpse of the northern islands. Nose up, look for the white tropicbird with its long tail wheeling in the sky… your secrets will be well kept!

SPA & WELLNESS
