Eco-responsible brand distills an art of living centered on well-being and exchange, and an emphasis on local know-how
Eco-responsible, this zen and sparkling brand distills an art of living centered on well-being, exchange and the promotion of local know-how: local organic products, care creams with island scents, a range of immersive excursions - meeting with producers, craftsmen, fishermen, etc. - and more. Artist-designer Camille Walala has created a colorful decor inspired by tropical tones. We love the in-house playlists, the cocktails at the Rooftop bar, the food at the various restaurants (including vegan options), the rituals at the spa and its salt chamber.

Owner's Message
We believe in meaningful travel. Trips that allow you to meet people and not only to discover places. This type of travel satisfies your thirst for discovery and brings you closer to the local population and their way of life. You let yourself be carried away by the local sounds and flavours. You explore your environment. You live your stay fully.
SALT establishments are wonderful places that offer you everything you need to discover your holiday destination, to relax, escape and recharge your batteries.
When you choose SALT, you go further by taking a positive approach. We act for the local population and we do everything possible to protect their environment, because sustainable development starts there. We participate in the local economy by employing, sourcing and collaborating locally. This enhances the culture and is a source of joy.
We keep it simple. We do whatever it takes to make you feel at one with the place. This is our definition of luxury. It's all about inspiration, adventure and positive impact.
SALT is a way of life, a culture of authenticity, purity, discovery and interaction. Our principles shape the way we act and inspire what we create, cultivate and organize.
1. Sharing advice from local people
When you leave our facilities, you will be able to explore the area with the help of a guidebook written and illustrated by local people, not a guidebook produced by someone from outside the island. With this guide you will get off the beaten track and discover the other side of the coin: hidden treasures, brand new experiences, authentic handicrafts, the best restaurants, the most beautiful places to swim, hike, walk and the most beautiful views. Take advantage of our know-how to satisfy your desires.
2. Make a positive impact
Making a positive impact is not easy, but it is worth it. It's about being responsible, creating jobs, giving back and appreciating what we're given, being honest and fair. In this way, we sow seeds and build relationships. We support the people and respect their environment. We do not pollute or degrade. We are part of the local population.
3. Environmentally friendly cuisine
Our establishments do not offer buffets. Our waste is always composted or used to feed the animals. This is how we guarantee healthy and environmentally responsible food. We offer simple menus with daily dishes made from the crops of our farm and the nets of our fisherman. We use seasonal products. Our proteins come from local products and everything we cannot grow locally is sourced in an environmentally friendly way. Our free-range eggs come from our neighbor's chicken coop. Our suppliers are part of our family. We bake our own bread, make our own sauces and roast our own coffee.
5. Local sourcing
Our hotels are locally sourced. We seek out the producers and innovative minds who live and work near us. Whatever our needs, we source fruits, vegetables, home décor, furniture, music, photography, fabrics, accessories and toiletries from local producers. The list could go on and on. In this way, we help the local population and economy. Sustainability starts here, it enhances authenticity and gives each SALT establishment its own identity.
6. Multicultural music
The music played in each SALT establishment has been chosen to make you smile. These playlists bring together the classics and the new that are the secret of local music. Expect to rock out to the bewitching rhythms and enjoy the holiday groove.
7. The end of disposables
At SALT locations, you'll never find single-use plastic products. We only use reusable items and no products such as straws, coffee cup lids or mini toiletries. We prefer packaging made from cornstarch, which is also compostable. We clean up the beaches and streets and then give a second life to the plastics we have collected. Switching from single use to multiple use is a simple action to help preserve the planet.
THE SALT SPIRIT AND SOUL
When you come to SALT, you'll notice our ethical, ecological and socially responsible approach. It's not just about ticking boxes. We want you to feel at home with us. It's not just words - we've thought long and hard about what's important to us and rethought the usual standards.
We want to welcome our guests in a different way, as it should be, according to the SALT principles. We don't always have an answer or a solution to everything, but we are always looking for ways to act more responsibly by trying to innovate. The SALT story is just beginning - thank you for following us on this journey.
1. Putting people first
Our goal and philosophy is simple: to captivate our guests by introducing them to local people and places. This approach is not only good for the guests, but also benefits everyone.
We all know our neighbours. They have become our friends. It may sound trite to say that our team is like a family, but it's true. We call all our suppliers by their first names and we know the origin of all our products. We encourage learning, sharing and exchanging skills. In this way, we see the hospitality industry as an opportunity for personal enrichment for both our staff and our guests.
In terms of professional development, we invest in our service culture and invite our guests to share their ideas and experiences with us. In addition, our skills exchange platform allows our guests to experience meaningful exchanges with the local population by acquiring a new skill, sharing their own, or both.
2. zero plastic
Don't look for plastic, at SALT you won't find any single-use synthetic product. In addition, as part of our waste reduction policy, we not only use compost, but we also take care of our planet by helping our suppliers to become more eco-friendly.
In the kitchen, we have created more storage space to reduce the amount of plastic packaging. Think the toiletries in the bathrooms are made of plastic? In reality, they are made from cornstarch. In addition, all towels and bed linen are made of pure organic cotton.
3. Local and environmentally friendly sourcing
We care about where the food we serve you comes from, but also about everything you see, hear and use at SALT.
It is well known that products from Mauritius have long been grown with a large amount of pesticides. Therefore, for all the products that we do not grow ourselves, we carefully select farms and suppliers that are chemical free. Our aim is to wage war on pesticides and to offer only organic products.
Angelo, from La Roche Noire, is our cheese supplier. Giuseppe provides our homemade pasta, Bibi brings us fruit, Ricardo catches our sea urchins, Sudesh finds us the best oysters on the island and Kishor delivers lobster.
The music played at SALT is also local. We choose playlists that showcase the native music scene. This way, we bring out new talent and let you discover authentic tunes that represent the soul of the place.

Wir würden herzlichst von Preehtika an der Rezeption betreut, Sanjay verwöhnte uns mit seinem sehr aufmerksamen Service. Med hatte immer ein Lächeln und einen guten Joke auf Lager und der liebenswerte Bool betreute uns sogar teils auf Deutsch. Die besten Drinks am Rooftop und in der Bar bekamen wir von Bhavish. Der hausgemachte Vanille- Rum war einfach köstlich.
Danke an das gesamte Team vom Salt! Ihr seid toll und die gute Stimmung unter den Mitarbeitern trägt sehr positiv zur Atmosphäre des Salt bei
Die Farben und das Design des Hotels - die vielen schönen Pflanzen und die gepflegte Garten-, Pool- und Strandanlage bieten unzählige Fotomotive in Postkartenqualität! Speziell die Hängematten und die Schaukel haben es uns angetan!
Vom Osten her war es meist sehr windig, weshalb wir die Liegen hier nicht so oft nutzten - obwohl hier die meisten Liegen platziert sind. Die Betten am Pool waren immer heiss begehrt, aber wir fanden unseren Lieblingsplatz am Strand vor dem Pool, wo ein paar Bäume ein wenig natürlichen Schatten spendeten.
geschlafen haben wir herrlich - die Betten sind super! Und in den grosszügigen Schränken fand all die Garderobe unseres 3wöchigen Trips (inkl. Hochzeitskleid) super Platz.
Tee und Kaffee am Zimmer, ein bluetoothfähiges Radio und nette Deko für uns " Honeymooner". kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag:
Ein Teppichläufer vor dem Bett wäre angenehm - ein bisschen Sand bringt man doch immer mit ????????
Die hot Stone Massage im SPA möchte ich noch erwähnen - die war echt professionell und tiefgehen - ich hatte einen gezerrten Schultermuskel - und wurde speziell und achtsam von Rathi behandelt.
Die abwechslungsreiche Küche ist sicher ein Herzstück des SALT - und die warmen Croissants, abwechslungsreichen Smoothies und das Variantenreiche Speisenangebot machte uns rundum Happy! Herzensdank an alle im SALT macht weiter so.
We were there for our honeymoon (hotel 1 of 3 in Mauritius) and booked the honeymoon package. Every activity was personal and thoughtfully arranged, and the staff always took time to make us feel good and to introduce us to the mauritian way of life.
The only small downside is the price of meals and drinks outside the package – they are very high for small portions. Additionally the neighborhood of the Hotel didn’t really have option to eat outside.
But apart from that, our stay was very good and we’d love to come back!
Nous avons séjourné une nuit au Salt of palmar à la suite de nos 15 jours de vacances. Notre dernière nuit. L’hôtel est très séduisant, la cuisine délicieuse et le concept est vraiment original.
Malheureusement, le service est déplorable…. Nous sommes arrivés sous la pluie…. Personne pour nous aider au premier abord, le service voiturier n’était pas disponible. Nous avions eu un accord orale et écrit pour un late Check out, finalement ils sont revenus sur leur décision, nous avons dû quitter notre chambre à 11h sans pouvoir du coup faire notre dernière excursion. Les personnes de la réceptions sont très peu souriants et ne disent pas bonjour sauf quand leur responsable est à côté!
Le service à la piscine est très long…. Il faut relancer plusieurs fois pour avoir une carte ou un élément manquant.
Et enfin au moment de partir nous avons plusieurs fois appelés la réception pour être aidés pour les bagages et qu’on nous rapproche la voiture. Après 3 appels, toujours personne nous avons dû gérer nos 4 valises seuls. Le voyage était prévu pour une occasion importante, nous avons était très surpris de ne pas avoir une petite attention en chambre alors qu’on leur avait dit.
Très contente de la gamme LUX, mais je ne conseille malheureusement pas du tout le SALT OF PALMAR.
