SALT of Palmar – An Adult Only Boutique Hotel, a funky hotel exploding with colour and designed by French artist Camille Walala, is the first of the new progressive SALT hotel brand. This five star property is also the first eco-hotel to grace the white sand shores of Mauritius, encouraging local experiences, sustainability and a love of the land – think reusable water bottles, locally sourced ingredients and toiletries, 100% cotton bath robes, staff-led excursions, convertibles available to discover the island, and a library filled with a collection of 300 books curated by Mauritian authors. Retreat to the SALT Equilibrium spa where you’ll be met by the island’s first salt therapy room as well as a selection of massages all centred around – you guessed it – salt. Rooms of crisp whites featuring splashes of bold colours, a furnished balcony or terrace and a Roberts Radio offer comfort in your downtime while the monumental array of watersports encourages outdoor living. And you can take home more than a tan when you swap skills with the locals – pottery with Janine, fishing with Kishor or basket weaving with Mr Moosbally should all be on your must-learn list!
