Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel, North Coast

Tucked away in a secluded cove on the northern coast of the island, the boutique hotel Paradise Cove offers luxury in a romantic setting, perfect for couples seeking an idyllic time away. The infinity pool provides spectacular views of the ocean. And dotted along the peninsula, beneath the palm trees, traditional thatched love nests make the most of their exotic surroundings.

The guest rooms and suites are decorated in neutral modern tones which contrast with the teak furniture and muslin-draped four-poster beds. There are splashes of colour and lattice windows. The upper floor deluxe premium rooms in two storey buildings are cosy and private. For extended lounge areas and furnished ground floor terrace, Prestige Junior Suites or Senior Suites are recommended.

The Dining Room features a themed evening buffet and local Mauritian dishes. For Asian cuisine, including stunning sushi dishes, there is XO, and for those seeking a romantic dining ambiance, the seafood dishes and waterside setting of The Cove is an excellent choice. The Peninsula showcases the resort's spectacular location looking out to the northern islands. Following a recent fruitful partnership with Michelin-starred chef, London-based Alexis Gauthier, the hotel features a fine new vegan menu.

A full range of water sports are available, allowing guest to explore the northern coastline of Mauritius above and below waters. Alternatively, relax with a range of face and body treatments at the spa, re-energise with a yoga class or explore the lush, green landscape inland by bicycle.
