    “We are so glad we chose Paradise Cove. It's set in a beautiful, spacious and well-tended garden with it's own private beach and jetty. Because it faces west, it's protected from the prevailing wind and the sunsets are amazing. Snorkelling here was great - what a relief to see some healthy coral and diversity of fish. There are only 10 villas so there was never a feeling of begin crowded. We ate virtually all our meals at the restaurant, which overlooks the water. There was no reason to go elsewhere - the menu was varied and exceptional. Our villa was cosy and the friendly ladies who looked after it took great pride in their job. Constance and Marc run Paradise Cove so efficiently, yet the overall atmosphere is of friendliness and relaxation. Cannot wait to return!”

  • Paradise Cove is a luxury eco resort...

    “There was so much to like about Paradise Cove! The owners and staff were warm, helpful and responsive. The restaurant served lovely food (island/french fusion) which you could eat upstairs and listen to great music, or in the downstairs area with sand at your feet listening to the waves. With the hammocks and beach bean bags there was always options for a comfy place to sit and chill. The kids loved all the water activites- snorkelling, kayaking, SUP boards & pool. There was also a great selection of books and fresh flowers in the room.”
