About this hotel
General information
Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel is a small, adults-only hotel on the north coast of Mauritius, at Anse La Raie. Its 75 rooms and suites sit in a lush garden of latania and coconut palms that runs down to a natural cove and out onto a slim peninsula looking across the lagoon to the islets of the north. Interiors pair pale wood and rattan with white walls and tropical wallpapers.
A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the hotel is set up for unhurried time as a couple: secluded Love Nests along the shore, four restaurants and several bars, a spa using Cinq Mondes products, and daily yoga and Pilates. Sustainability runs through the place — drinking water is bottled on site in refillable bottles, solar heaters warm the water, and the garden is planted with endemic species, explained in an illustrated guide.
Location
The hotel lies at Anse La Raie on the north coast of Mauritius, about 10 minutes by car from Grand Baie and 2.5 km from the nearest fishing village. Transfers from Mauritius International Airport are arranged by the hotel on request.
Spa

The menu covers facials and massages, aromatic flower baths, hammam rituals and the brand’s “Beauty Rituals of the World”, with an open-air pavilion overlooking the sea for couples’ massages. Facilities include a hammam, a relaxation pool, a hair salon and a beauty corner.
