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?

This place is spectacular! Not only the location, but everything. The welcome, large airy room with great style and everything you could need, attentive staff, views of an azure sea fringed by palm trees and white beaches, the 2 hour massage making you drift away, the onsite bakery creating fresh pastry heaven every morning, the top notch food and drink created with imagination and love for local suppliers, the special touches including remembering my favourite pre-dinner drinks, and really feeling like part of the family….. it was amazing. Imagine tropical island paradise shown off by a team who really made it feel like it was a pleasure for them too. A special thank you to: Pooja, Rahul, Dervin, Bhool, Samantha, Rewa, Ved, Dev, the chef team, the spa team, Rishi, and the many others who made it very memorable. Don’t forget to get that massage, go on the island tour, and have an intimate dinner at their new TekTek restaurant. Go soon, you won’t regret it! Read less

Me and my girlfriend stayed at Salt of Palmar in August 2025. The staff welcomed us warmly showing us around the facility and the different amenities. They were very caring about our needs every day, especially when I accidentally hurt my foot on a boat tour. Food at the restaurant was good, and we also took the chance to experience traditional Mauritian food on Wednesday, but best value for money was dining at Tek Tek, with a 6-courses interactive dinner. Strongly recommended. Read less
