A Colorful Adult-Only Boutique Resort on Mauritius' East Coast

59 Rooms | 1 Restaurant | 3 Bars | 1 Spa | 1 Pool

SALT of Palmar in Mauritius offers a unique blend of local culture and modern design, set against the backdrop of the island's stunning natural beauty. Located on a mini-peninsula along Mauritius' secluded east coast, the hotel is surrounded by soft sands, coconut trees, and a serene blue lagoon, creating a picturesque setting that captures the essence of Mauritius

The hotel's design, a collaborative effort by architect Jean-François Adam and artist and designer Camille Walala, is a celebration of color and geometry. The interiors, inspired by the vibrant colors of the island — from the turquoise ocean waters and pink sunsets to the green sugarcane fields — and the local Mauritian culture, feature eye-popping stripes, bold graphic patterns, and playful shapes. The 59 rooms at SALT of Palmar strike a balance between minimalism and vivid color, with details like fiery orange-red chairs, striped cushions, and turquoise-blue wood furnishings reflecting the colors of the Palmar lagoon.

The hotel's culinary offerings are a testament to its commitment to local and sustainable practices. The Good Kitchen, the hotel's restaurant, focuses on locally sourced cuisine with a menu featuring fresh seafood and fine meat dishes, complemented by vegetarian, vegan, and raw options. The hotel's bars, each with its unique craft cocktails, add to the allure of its dining experience.

SALT of Palmar offers a range of complimentary water sports, including standup paddling, kayaking, and snorkeling. The hotel's SALT Equilibrium spa offers a variety of treatments, utilizing organic oils and aromatherapy, with options for beachside sessions. For those looking to explore the local area, the hotel provides bicycle excursions to nearby markets and villages, and through the Skill Swap program, guests can engage with and learn from the local community.

Sustainability is at the core of SALT of Palmar's ethos. With a strong connection to its local community, SALT celebrates the individuals (playfully named “Salt Shakers”) that contribute to its offerings from the local fishermen and rattan artisans to the bartender mixing up craft cocktails. The hotel supports the local economy by sourcing fresh, seasonal organic produce and collaborating with local artisans for handmade decor and amenities. These efforts extend to fostering a healthy workplace environment for its staff, encouraging training and growth opportunities, and hiring locally to ensure cultural representation.

By staying at SALT of Palmar, you enjoy a luxurious and culturally rich experience while contributing to a sustainable and community-oriented approach to tourism in Mauritius.

We stayed at SALT for six nights, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, attentive, and always willing to share stories and insights about Mauritius, which made our stay feel even more authentic.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, attentive, and always willing to share stories and insights about Mauritius, which made our stay feel even more authentic. One of the highlights of our trip was the cooking class with Chef Shiva and his team. We were also treated to delicious Mauritian fried noodles by “Sweet Mommie” (a nickname we happily gave her!), and they were absolutely amazing. During the class, Chef Shiva taught us how to prepare Chicken Briani the traditional Mauritian way—just as a Mauritian grandmother would make it. The team at the Boathouse were equally fantastic. They helped us arrange additional water sports activities beyond the complimentary options offered by the hotel and also took us on the fish-feeding excursion, which was included in our package. I would highly recommend the Full Board package, as there are not many dining options within walking distance of the hotel. Having all meals included made our stay much more convenient and enjoyable. Another memorable experience was learning how to make a fizz bomb with Pushpa, which was both fun and unique. Overall, SALT made our first visit to Mauritius truly unforgettable. The warmth of the people, the incredible experiences, and the genuine hospitality ensured that we left with wonderful memories and a deep appreciation for both the hotel and the island. Highly recommended! [...]

What truly sets this hotel apart is its ability to elevate the Mauritian experience through thoughtful attention to detail, authentic hospitality, and a refined approach to local cuisine.

We hosted a bachelorette at Salt of Palmar and had a blast!! The whole hotel is a vibe with cosy corners, chill areas and great pool.
