The hotel

A unique and new concept to Mauritius, SALT of Palmar is an eco-conscious, one-of-a-kind property that immerses you into the beauty of the island. Designed by the French designer Camille Walala, SALT of Palmar showcases bold, colourful patterns and a vibrant aesthetic blending contemporary design elements with a mix of Mauritian cultural influences. As soon as you arrive, you'll feel at home, with the added bonus of sea breeze in your hair and sand between your toes. Experience island-life with the skill swap programme, enjoy some water sports, or simply choose to relax poolside or beachside. Food is big deal around here too, with a focus on fresh, organic, and seasonal produce, much of which comes from its own farm or nearby sources. You'll be sure to find zero single-use plastics as well as zero food waste, what's not to love?

We had multiple amazing experiences the at Salt of Palmar resort. My parents and I were staying at the nearby Ambre resort and we wanted to explore restaurants at nearby hotel. We were recommended to look at Salt of Palmar and the very friendly door staff took us in to show us what they had to offer. Med and team were immediately incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful and showed us the gorgeous restaurants on offer. We were captivated by the new and innovative "Tek Tek" restaurant which is one of a kind and focuses on using local seafood. We had a delicious and intimate dinner with some other guests and the chefs Ravi and Visham were very thorough with their explanations on what each dish was. The attention to detail in each dish and the flavours were incredible! In particular, my favourite dish was the taco and octopus. We were cared for incredibly and all the waiters went above and beyond. They provided 10/10 service and hospitality and invited us back for more meals at Salt. We also went back a few days later for dinner, which was very delicious and we were again welcomed very nicely by Med, who always provides a friendly service and makes us feel at home. He is also incredibly professional with all the work he does. Our meal was cooked by the highly talented Shiva and it was so delicious! Highly recommend to everyone and anyone to stay at Salt of Palmar! Read less
