If you’re looking for the best hotel in Mauritius to get married and the perfect island setting for your wedding abroad then you’ll love Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel.
With its white-sandy beaches, lush mountain scales and the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius boasts some of the world’s most spectacular scenery. Its incredible natural beauty, eclectic culture and sunny climate make it the perfect location for any couple considering a tropical destination wedding.
Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel is one of the most iconic resorts in Mauritius, and leads the way in luxury weddings on the island. With over 80 weddings a year taking place at the exclusive adults-only hotel, the level of service and attention to detail on offer is second to none.
Renowned for its intimacy and boutique feel, the hotel has just 75 rooms available, all of which boast spectacular views of the glistening lagoon that the hotel centres around. Romance is at the forefront, with ‘love nest’ twin sun beds scattered around the resort, unparalleled 5-star service and a host of special experiences on offer, including stargazing, guided snorkelling trails and more.
You & Me Moments
If you’re looking for something a little more intimate at Paradise Cove, a unique menu of ‘You & Me Moments’ are on offer to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Guests can climb on board a catamaran at sunset with champagne and canapes, treat themselves to a special customised outdoor couple’s massage overlooking the ocean, enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner on the beach or take part in an authentic Mauritian cooking class.
Your Big Day
Couples choosing to say ‘I do’ at the resort will have a choice of exclusive settings, including by the tumbling waterfall of the hotel’s private cove; or among the rosy bougainvillea of the tropical gardens. Couples can also choose the striking peninsula with its breathtaking view over the island of Coin de Mire.
An experienced wedding coordinator will be on hand to take care of the details, organising everything from the flowers to the décor, music, drinks and dining. All wedding packages include a two-piece band during the ceremony, a bridal bouquet and buttonhole for the groom, the wedding cake and a candlelit celebration dinner. Couples can also upgrade to the Premium package for added extras, including a photographer for the full day, a personalised in-room breakfast the morning after the wedding, a couple’s massage at the spa and gala dinner.
Local Culture
One of the things that sets Mauritius apart from other idyllic island destinations is its fascinating history and melting pot of cultures, with influences from Africa, Europe, China and India.
With such a wide range of cultural influences, the local food is truly delicious and should definitely be sampled. Paradise Cove offers a self-guided street food tour of Port Louis, designed to introduce you to some of Mauritius’ best local spots and show you exactly what to order.
Sugarcane has historically been the main crop in Mauritius, with rum being a very popular beverage on the island. During your stay, a trip to the in-resort ‘Rum Gallery’ is an absolute must, where a knowledgeable expert will talk you through the production process and give you the opportunity to sample a selection of some of the best Rums in the region.
Every week Paradise Cove hosts a traditional Sega performance, offering guests a window into Mauritian culture and the history of the island. This upbeat combination of dance, singing and music is a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture.
Sustainability
With sustainability now at the forefront of so many of our minds, eco-conscious couples will be delighted to learn that Paradise Cove has taken great steps to reduce the resort’s impact on the environment.
The hotel has introduced a zero single-use plastic policy for guests, saying no to products that do more harm than good, from sachets of sugar and plastic straws to plastic-wrapped cotton buds and mini bottles of shampoo. These have been replaced with eco-friendly alternatives, such as coffee and tea bought in bulk and served in glass jars in each bedroom. Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel is managed by Attitude Group and, across all of the group’s hotels, this is estimated to be a saving of 3.6 million single-use plastic items a year.
