paradisiacal

Like a utopia

Paradisiacal describes something resembling paradise—blissfully beautiful, idyllic, or heavenly.

The word typically applies to places of exceptional natural beauty or perfect tranquility: a paradisiacal beach resort, the paradisiacal gardens of the estate.

It carries a literary or elevated tone, often used when *paradise* as an adjective feels insufficient.

Also spelled *paradisiac*.
