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?

The Salt room was so relaxing, and we truly enjoyed our time there. A heartfelt thank you as well to the spa team for their care and professionalism — such a calming experience.
We truly appreciated the team spirit and positive energy among the staff — it made the whole atmosphere feel even more welcoming. The hotel is very well maintained, and we can’t wait to come back again! Keep It up, Guys! From Daniella & Herbert

What a reosrt

WOW. What a resort. From check in where we were 2 hours early, they sorted our room and checked us in no hassles. Then the food, Med and his team did an outstanding job. The food is some of the best we have tasted, me and my wife worked through the menu and everything was delicious, warning when they say the portion is large it’s large.

Wonderful place in super location on the beach very chic but...the service at breakfast was a real mess, sometimes missed a spoonful sometimes sugar, other times they confused the orders of the clients, no interaction between the members of the staff, the price of restaurant was exagerate a seafood big platter costed 280 euros! Last evening before leaving we have been told there was no parking inside but a car arriving after us was allowed tò enter ! Little smartones It s no good to play the fool and mock the clients! Everybody kind and attentive but just an illusion... The sea in front of the hotel was difficult ti access due to rocks and there was a drain pipe nearby,

A Soulful Solo Escape

From the moment I arrived, I was met with the genuine warmth and attentiveness of the staff. Massive thanks to ALL the STAFF, from the pastry and bakery team ( Shiva, Loveshinee, Anasthsia, Rajeev, Yanick) to the kitchen and restaurant team (Vinesh, Darma, Nandita, Rewa, Medakar, Bhishav, Dev, Pooja), to the Gym (Kenny), the bar staff for delicious mocktails perfectly palleted, and the front-of-house team (Harish and the others - sorry the names have escaped me) who always greeted everyone with a smile. Many of them would personally visit my table, take a moment to check in, or share some incredible stories :-). The food was absolutely exceptional! Every meal was a delight, prepared with care, passion, and flair.
The hotel itself is a peaceful haven, ideal for those seeking rest and reconnection. The early morning yoga classes, float fit, serenity walks are only a few named amongst many other activities the hotel offers. I had a stunning sea view from Room 107.
As a solo traveller, I was able to explore the surrounding areas with ease. I ventured to the South, Port Louis, and the Flacq Market by taxi. A visit to L'Aventure School was an experience that added unexpected meaning to my trip.
I left Mauritius with a clearer mind, a grateful body, and a fuller heart.
Best wishes SALT Of Palmar,
Ankita

Amazing Experience – Truly Exceptional Staff and Facilities
We had an incredible stay at the hotel. From the moment we arrived, the attention and hospitality from Med, Vinesh, Bhishan, and the entire team were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, comfortable, and looked after throughout our stay.
The food was delicious and varied, with plenty of options at every meal. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable. We also loved spending time at the pool, which was well-maintained and relaxing.
But without a doubt, one of the highlights was the hotel’s beach – absolutely spectacular. Crystal-clear waters, soft sand, and the perfect place to unwind or enjoy a sunset.
A big thank you to everyone at the hotel for making our experience so memorable. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mauritius!
