Salt of Palmar, Mauritius, a Member of Design Hotels

We stayed for 11 nights in the Bang on Beach room, which had a perfect view of the sunrise and the sea. We enjoyed our stay very much—it was peaceful, calm, and the perfect place to relax and reset, with no kids around. Pros & Highlights: • Location – The hotel is right on the beach, perfect for long walks on the sandy shore. There’s nothing within walking distance, but we were aware of that beforehand and rented a car at the airport to explore the whole island. If you don’t rent a car but want to go somewhere, 24-hour taxi drivers are available right in front of the hotel. • Tip: Visit the market in Flacq—fresh fruit, vegetables, and a pure local atmosphere. • On the beach, you'll meet a guy from Apollon Cruise offering a 5-island tour—highly recommended! The boat was less crowded than others, making for a more enjoyable experience. • Check-in/Check-out – Very smooth, with friendly and helpful staff. • Food – Tasty, with different options to choose from. They handled allergies and dietary restrictions very well—my partner is vegan, and I can’t eat dairy. They even prepared special meals for us for both breakfast and dinner. • Staff & Service – Always friendly and helpful, especially Sanjay :) who always arranged something special for us at dinner, including desserts. Hotel Highlights: • Free daily snorkeling trips at 11 AM (1 hour, boat ride to a perfect spot). • Free paddleboard and pedal boat rental. • Free drinking water available all day (no need to buy at the supermarket). • Stylish design with a perfect ocean view during breakfast and dinner. • Library with local and other books, available in the room or in a cozy reading area. Minor Drawbacks: • Still water was not free at dinner, even when ordering other drinks. • Live music only twice during our stay—I would have appreciated it more often, but when it was there, it was really nice. Overall, a fantastic stay, and we would definitely return!

This hotel is sooo beautiful in the most perfect location for east coast. Such good value for money for how beautiful the setting is. I loved the ocean view room and the big white bed that faced the sea - lovely touches around the hotel like free sparkling water tap, sun cream and the staff were so attentive and nothing was a problem!

The location was ideal to access the beach area near camps bay. Safe and beautiful.

Everything! We loved Salt and would highly recommend! The hotel itself is fresh and attractive with bright colours, modern design and plenty of light and space. The hotel beach was beautiful and sun beds were always available. Rooms were very clean, comfortable and cool. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were all inclusive and the food and drinks were all fantastic with loads of choice on the menu, including plenty of Mauritian specialities (much more preferable to a buffet style). The Spa was amazing, the best massage I’ve ever had! Overall a fabulous experience and cannot recommend this hotel enough!

Fabulously stylish yet unpretentious, with a great array of food and drink (the coffee and seafood especially). The pool is brilliant, it’s right on a lovely beach, with good enough water sports. Rooms are spacious, modern and airy. The staff were fantastic - friendly, helpful and welcoming without being too overfamiliar. Hitika, Sanjay and others were brilliant.
