Our favourite rooms
The Prestige Junior Suites have double shower heads, a bath tub, and a terrace. The farthest few are on the peninsula, making them more secluded and gifting ocean views of the private cove from their terrace.
Poolside
A pool for every need, and a beach for good measure – there are six distinct bodies of water at Paradise Cove, each offering something special. The main pool is encircled by palm-tree-shaded sunloungers; and on the hotel’s signature peninsula you’ll find a broad infinity pool, with views across Mauritius’ uninhabited northern islands, which is heated in winter. There’s a restaurant and bar here too, and it may be the best place in all of Mauritius to watch the sun set. Hidden among the palms nearer the suites is a small lap pool, and in the spa’s garden you’ll find a plunge pool for an après-massage dip. The temperate waters of the Indian Ocean flow right into the resort’s private cove, where there are more sunloungers on a crisp, white-sand beach, and a three-tiered waterfall pool supplied with fresh seawater.
Spa
The Parisian powerhouse brand Cinq Mōndes curates the spa at Paradise Cove, and it is not only stocked with their premium products, but also their own specially-developed menu of treatments and massages. Seven treatment cabins are spread amid a tropical garden filled with endemic species and a towering shade tree, and there is a vivid flower bath, a vichy shower for body scrubs and hot-water massage, a hammam for thermal steam treatments, and a beauty salon. Outdoor treatments can be delivered seaside in a special private couples’ cabin on the peninsula, and those wanting to prolong the state of post-massage bliss can linger on the sunloungers or dip in the spa’s secret plunge pool.
Packing tips
Make sure to load a good digital-planetarium app on your smartphone. An astronomer leads a weekly stargazing session, and once you’ve had your celestial orientation, you’ll be gazing skywards each night.
Also
Take a day trip to the uninhabited islands of Bernache and Ambre aboard the hotel’s pirogue (a long, narrow, motorised canoe), for archetypal tropical island views and lazy hours spent splashing in sandy turquoise shallows.
Sustainability efforts
The hotel has eliminated single-use plastics from rooms, there is a recycling program, and the four restaurants source produce from local farmers and suppliers.
