BEACHFRONT · ADULTS ONLY
SALT of Palmar
A colour-blocked, adults-only boutique on Palmar beach, with farm-to-table dining and Mauritius' first salt room.
A colour-blocked beach house at Palmar
SALT of Palmar sits on the sand at Palmar, on Mauritius' east coast just north of Belle Mare. It is adults-only, a member of Design Hotels, and built in terracotta pink and cobalt blue, its colour and pattern shaped by the artist Camille Walala. Fifty-nine rooms are arranged around two pools, a beach lined with filao trees, and a tiled riad courtyard at its centre.
The hotel's character comes from its people as much as its design. Guests can trade time for a local skill through SALT's Skill Swap programme, a morning at the pottery wheel with Janine, or fishing at dawn with Kishor, and eat at The Good Kitchen, where the menu follows whatever the island's farmers and fishermen bring in that day. SALT Equilibrium, the spa, is built around a Himalayan salt room, the first of its kind on the island.

At the resort
A Himalayan salt room found nowhere else on the island, a programme that trades guest time for local skill, and a kitchen that answers to the day's catch.
SALT Equilibrium
Four treatment rooms, a hydrolounge and Mauritius' first salt room, built around rituals that use the island's own salt.
Skill Swap
Spend a morning at Janine's pottery wheel, weave a basket with Mrs Buleeram, or go fishing with Kishor before breakfast.
On the Water
Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, snorkelling and glass-bottom boats over the lagoon, free for every guest.
The Gym
A wood-floored studio with cardio machines and free weights, open from six each morning.
Where to eat
Three venues, one philosophy: everything traceable to a farmer, fisherman or grower the kitchen knows by name.
FARM-TO-TABLE · ALL-DAY DINING
The Good Kitchen
Raw, vegan and indulgent dishes share a menu built around whatever the island's growers and fishermen bring in that morning.
MAURITIAN · OCEAN-TO-PLATE TASTING MENU
Tek Tek
Ten seats on the beach and a six-to-eight course menu built around the day's fish, seafood and venison, cooked in front of you.
