First Look
On your first walk around Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel, you will catch a glimpse of their 100 plus sunbeds, several swing beds and the gorgeous sandy path adorned with thoroughly maintained gardens. These gardens are particularly unique and inspired by a Mauritian plantation home modernised with a Mauritian iced tea station and an all-day rum bar. You can find Instagrammable corners decorated with Toucan patterned wallpapers and gorgeous floral mandalas here.
The cliff-top, infinity pool is perfectly placed to look over the blue waters of the northern islands. You can indulge in many ‘You & Me’ activities in and around Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel. Talk a walk down the beach, laze on the beds in thatched huts, grab a cocktail or go a little further to catch a glimpse of Le Château de Labourdonnais. The Pamplemousses botanical garden and L’Aventure du Sucre, too, are less than five kilometres away. Hope onto the Catamaran cruise to Coin de Mire, Gabriel and Flat Island to explore the gorgeous spaces around the hotel. You can also make use of the two tennis courts, the fitness centre and yoga on the lawn by the bay beach. One of the most photographic sites in Mauritius, Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice de Cap Malheureux is located at a short distance of a 12-minute walk or a minute drive from the hotel, while the bustling town of Trou aux Biches is close by too.
The Stays
There are 75 rooms and suites available to choose from, each designed with plush white, rustic furniture, four-poster bed frames draped with soft muslin and scenic balconies.
