heavenly

Like pure paradise

Heavenly describes things belonging to or characteristic of heaven—the divine realm of gods, angels, and the blessed afterlife: heavenly hosts, heavenly father.

More commonly, heavenly expresses that something is wonderful or deeply pleasurable: This chocolate cake is heavenly.

The word suggests an experience so good it seems to transcend the ordinary: a heavenly massage, heavenly weather.
