Setting
SALT of Palmar is known as a “Homegrown Hotel with a Huge Heart”. The hotel has a concept of innovation, where guests can discover the local culture whilst acting sustainably and making a positive impact. This is a unique two in one concept on the Island. By simply staying at this 5-star resort, guests contribute to protecting and empowering the local communities while creating opportunity and employment for the new generation, and at the same time, preserving the environment via the concept of single-use plastic, bio farming and a zero-waste policy.
When designer Camille Walala saw the Mauritian bright blue skies, pink sunsets, green sugarcane fields, and the explosion of diverse paint colours used to decorate the houses in the village, it was love at first sight. She was full of inspiration when she collaborated with local architecture studio JFA on the design of SALT of Palmar. Camille’s bold style meets Mauritius’ soulful style. And with local makers creating the furniture, art, and finer details, the Mauritian influence comes through loud and clear. It makes the boutique hotel completely unique. It’s inspiring. And it’s a very happy place to be.

SALT of Palmar Reviews
1 | Sandeep We were there for an anniversary. And everything was perfect from check in to check out. The idea of rooms without TV has been well thought of. Staffs are courteous and eager to help. Overall it was a satisfying and pleasing experience. |
2 | Abdulrahman It’s an environmental friendly hotel with a perfect location, staff, facilities and design, for me it’s the best hotel I have ever seen, the food is not only delicious but even healthy and with high standard, the beach is perfect but a little bit windy in this time of the year(winter), they have a different activities during the day , they care about every single details it will make you surprised. Perfect hotel, Perfect staff. Actually nothing, I just wish they keep it the same because i am definitely coming back, and I hope other hotels take care of the guests and the environment as salt of palmer did , I wish them all the best. |
3 | Daniel$ Look, it might be perfect ... I know lots of people say that but - if you want the best stretch of uncrowded beach on the east coast, this is it / if you support eco-ethical this place is top tier / if you appreciate great, healthy food its onsite / if you like waking up to the sand & surf outside, its here / if you like yoga, mindfulness, peace & harmony, these people teach it daily through their example ... no complaints, only question is "How can we get all resorts to behave in this manner?" Nothing. I loved every inch of this place, and every moment. |
4 | Nathalie Everything! We really are foodies and the food we got there was excellent! The design is great and we loved the sustainability concept of the hotel. But the heart and soul are the great people working there. They are not only amazing at their jobs but also wonderful personalities. You won‘t find any other hotel like that in Mauritius. |
5 | Juerg Sensationnel location at the most beautiful beach with small lagoons. Eco friendly concept which is a benchmark in this industry. Art Deco style interior and the most comfortable bets. The food is second to none and all freshly cooked with a variety of mediterran and local food. No breakfast buffet, all à la carte, which is fantastic no fighting for food! The rooftop bar is the only one on the island and just stunning. The staff is genuinely friendly. From management to bartender everyone is very helpful, on top of things and makes your stay unforgettable. No I’m not paid for this rating, it’s just an amazing place which deserves the highest possible rating. Definitely be back and congratulations to the whole team. |
