Salt of Palmar, Mauritius, a Member of Design Hotels

- When they call the room the "Bang on Beach" room, they're not kidding. The room is in a fantastic position with amazing views and sounds of the private beach. - During our time there we witnessed a wedding on the beach and influencers in the wild. Being an adult-only resort, it was a peaceful and relaxed crowd. - The inside of the room itself is well-designed and spacious enough for our needs. - I liked that there was no TV. I didn't use the fancy radio and can't think of why anyone would. - The hotel is designed to be sustainable while still being luxurious. So you'll find that instead of a buffet, you choose 2 options for breakfast for example. This I can assume drastically reduces their wastage but also allows them the time to have chef-prepared meals for their guests. - All the restaurant staff were excellent and I'd like to particularly commend Sanjay, Dharam and Bool for their excellent friendly service.

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!

Beautiful and very special hotel - SALT of Palmar is one of our favourite hotels! Situated right on Palmar beach, SALT follows a unique approach, with a focus on local produce and goods, responsibility and sustainability for its beautiful surroundings and people. SALT offers a range of activities (partially free), such as snorkeling, yoga, sports courses etc, of which we made great use. For guests like us, seeking both relaxation, sport, wonderful food and a beautiful location with direct access to the sea, this hotel is perfect. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast (à la carte), including the delicious pastries the pastry chef Rajeev and his team conjure up fresh every morning. The pastry team as well as the entire SALT team are very welcoming, kind and always helpful. We are definitely coming back!

Breathtaking place, was much better in real life than expected. Beautiful grounds , pool , gym. Everything was exceptionally clean. Lovely kind staff. I would highly recommend to other guests to experience the special dining experience by chef Shiva! It was exceptional. Breakfast was my favourite meal, with lots of options and very well cooked. Dinner was a little hit and miss with the seasoning of some dishes but I really enjoyed the chicken biryiani! The hotel has a lot to offer in terms of different activities , excursions etc. many are included/free. The beach is stunning, however it does get windy in the east, which is perfect in the day for me as cools things down. One thing I really liked is that water is refillable at all times which is a great addition and much needed One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in ! I will be back
