“Another Beautiful Birthday Celebration at Our Second Home”

Sep 13, 2026arunenm2016

Celebrating my wife’s birthday at SALT of Palmar was the perfect reason for another two-night escape to a place that has truly become our second home. There is something special about returning to a hotel where you are welcomed with such genuine warmth. From the moment we arrived, the team made sure my wife’s birthday celebration felt personal and memorable. It is this attention to the smallest details, together with the warmth of the people, that keeps bringing us back. Food was undoubtedly one of the highlights of this stay. A very special mention to Chef Shiva and Chef Visham for the wonderfully planned seafood menus. Everything was beautifully prepared, fresh and full of flavour, with real thought and care behind each dish. Chef Ravi deserves a very special mention for an experience of his own at the outstanding Tek Tek restaurant. His uniquely delicious, carefully crafted menu turned dinner into a live culinary experience, where the preparation, presentation, aromas and flavours all became part of the occasion. It was not simply a meal, but an experience to watch, enjoy and remember. Tek Tek is truly something special, and Chef Ravi made the evening exceptional. A big compliment also goes to the pastry chef for the absolutely delicious birthday cake. Beautifully presented and equally impressive in taste, it provided the perfect finishing touch to my wife’s celebration. Our spa experience was another highlight. Jibraan and Sharona were awesome. Their professionalism, care and technique made the treatments incredibly relaxing and added another special dimension to our two-night getaway. We would also like to sincerely thank Vikesh, Rewa, Fayaaz, Sharvin, Rajeev, Simran, Niketa, Vignesh, Bhool , Rohit and each anx every personnel that I missed. Each of you, in your own way, contributed to the warmth and quality of our stay. These individual interactions are what transform excellent hospitality into something genuinely memorable. And finally, a huge thank you to Rishi, Vish, Chef Shiva and, last but certainly not least, Raj, the GM. Your personal attention, kindness and constant effort to ensure that every detail was taken care of made us feel completely at home. That is ultimately what SALT of Palmar has become for us: our home away from home, our second home. We arrive as guests, but somehow never feel like guests for very long. Thank you to the entire team for making my wife’s birthday getaway another beautiful memory. If 6/5 existed, SALT of Palmar would get it from us. Until the next time!

“Chic Boutique Resort”

Sep 12, 2026TriciaL874

This is a unique resort that gives a true Mauritian experience to its guests. The resort is as close to the sea as possible and from your room you feel as if you are on the water. I loved the comfortable beds and super soft linen. A great feature is the Salt Radio in the room - giving you a real island feel throughout the day - so much better than a TV. The food here is out of the world.. fresh, authentic and quality. This resort helps you experience the best of Mauritius - in a different way.

“Loved organic food”

Excellent all around....tremendous value for the dollar compared to surrounding resorts. Organic food was amazing.
