SALT of Palmar in detail

Hotel

SALT of Palmar is an adults-only boutique hotel on the east coast, on one of Mauritius’s most beautiful beaches. As a member of Design Hotels™, SALT of Palmar brings together design, luxury and sustainability. Here, you can experience Mauritian culture and hospitality at close quarters. The hotel’s sustainable, plastic-free approach places an emphasis on local and natural products. It also makes an ideal base for a wide range of water sports. Guests can take part in yoga classes four times a week, helping to bring body and mind into balance. For moments of relaxation, there is a welcoming pool area and SALT Equilibrium, where you can unwind and restore your energy.

Location & Surroundings

SALT of Palmar is right on the white sandy beach at Palmar on Mauritius’s east coast, around 1.7 km from Belle Mare. From here, you can enjoy the island’s breathtaking beauty and views across the turquoise sea. Mauritius International Airport (MRU) is around 47 km away, making it quick and easy to reach the hotel.

Food & Drink

"The Good Kitchen" serves fresh, healthy local dishes every day, guided by the motto “Good for the soul – good for the planet”. The hotel prioritises local produce sourced directly from its own herb garden, a nearby farm and regional fishermen. Whether you prefer vegan, vegetarian or meat dishes, there is something to suit every taste. Lactose-free and gluten-free options are also available.

Breakfast at "The Good Kitchen" is served à la carte. Guests on half board, full board or all inclusive can enjoy an à la carte dinner, while those on full board or all inclusive can also have an à la carte lunch. With all inclusive, tea, coffee and snacks are available in the afternoon. The à la carte concept helps the hotel actively reduce food waste as part of its sustainable approach to dining.

The hotel’s own SALT Bäckerei offers a selection of homemade pastries. During the day, the pool bar "The Beach" serves Mauritian snacks and a range of cocktails. The rooftop bar, with its breathtaking ocean views, is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious aperitif in a relaxed setting.

Since June 2025, the hotel’s culinary offering has also included the new restaurant Tek Tek, a destination for those who appreciate creative cuisine with local roots. The menu focuses on a small, seasonally changing selection of dishes inspired by Mauritian cuisine and given a modern interpretation. With just a few tables, Tek Tek offers an intimate atmosphere, ideal for a quiet dinner away from the bustle. The restaurant is next to the pool and offers wonderful views of the Indian Ocean – the perfect setting to round off the evening at sunset.

Wellness & Spa

At SALT Equilibrium, the name says it all. The salt-based spa offering includes a range of treatments, including relaxing massages, aromatic therapies, beauty treatments and facials (at an additional charge). The spa has four treatment rooms, a salt room, a hydro lounge and a cosy relaxation area.

INFO: The spa uses primarily the purest organic salt, traditionally harvested by hand in the island’s Black River region. Guests can experience its healing effects in the island’s first salt room or during a body scrub.

Fitness & Sports

At SALT of Palmar, guests can take part in yoga classes four times a week. Sunset yoga, for example, is a wonderful way to end the day peacefully and unwind both body and mind. Other classes include Hatha yoga and Ashtanga yoga. For an energising start to the day, the Sunrise Salutation gently prepares you for the hours ahead.

The hotel also has a small gym, ideal for cardio sessions, dumbbell workouts or mobility exercises. Healthy snacks, including homemade protein balls, are available to keep you going, along with fresh water and towels to make your workout more comfortable.

Pool area

The hotel has an outdoor pool with sea views (heated in winter).
