SALT of Palmar

The hotel exudes a fresh, funky vibe with vibrant decor from French designer Camille Walala and guests are encouraged to embrace the local culture with immersive experiences, all bookable with the touch of a finger through their App.

This planet-friendly hotel reduces their carbon footprint and gives back to the local community without sacrificing that feeling of luxury. Accommodation choices are garden view, next to the pool or on the beach where you can also view the most incredible sunrise. All rooms, naturally, offer organic bed linen on Swedish hand-crafted Carpe Diem beds with everything thought about in terms of being eco-friendly with no single-use plastics in sight. Little eco-friendly touches in the rooms include cinnamon slippers, Moringa tea, organic coffee bathrobes, reusable water bottles that can be filled from different water points in the hotel and a yoga mat made from recycled materials.

Offering a delicious array of Vegan friendly meals, SALT of Palmar is proud to become a 'Vegan Welcome Resort', providing guests with a choice of fresh, tasty, vegan meals throughout their stay.  There is a big emphasis on home-grown or locally sourced organic produce with the restaurant using their own farm produce or it being sourced from local suppliers. Nothing is flown in which means the chefs are able to use their own creative flair and everything is fresh and in season, the chef is also happy for guests to visit the kitchen.

Being located on the beach means lots to do in terms of water sports and land sports and healthy pursuits are encouraged. Join the Sunrise run club before tucking in to mouthwatering breakfasts such as acai bowls, golden mango and turmeric or avocado on toast, alternatively the bakery shop serves freshly baked goods and freshly ground coffee.

If you fancy getting out and about independently you can hire one of the hotel's convertible cars or bicycles and make the most of exploring Mauritius using the SALT App and the insider knowledge from the complimentary guide book written by the locals.

Connect with the local community with the skills swap platform, a brilliant idea that means you teach to learn (or there is the option to just learn) with pottery, basket weaving and cookery amongst the offerings. Also available are wellness talks, gardening classes and yoga tuition meaning you're not just relaxing you're also learning.
