SALT of Palmar, an adult-only boutique Hotel

Lost count of how many times we’ve stayed at Salt of Palmar on our visits to Mauritius now. Perfect adult only boutique hotel with beautiful beachfront. The staff and service are just brilliant. They were so helpful. Shout out to the Chef Siva for his kindness to provide some locally made herbal tea for when we were unwell. We’ll be back :)

The Salt of Palmer can be a decent hotel with a few changes. The overall feeling is warm and inviting. The biggest areas of improvement include the attentiveness of staff, the smell of the rooms, and the dining options. The staff will not attend to you unless you specifically ask them. An example would be sitting in the dining area for 30 minutes as they all walk past and do not ask to take your order. If you are sensitive to smells, you must know that the rooms smell like mildew. Given that the hotel is on the beach, I expected there to be some sort of smell, but the smell was a bit overwhelming for me. The menu is rather limited and for certain hours of the day (2 pm-7 pm) you are only able to order from approximately three appetizers.

Lovely rooms , real ground coffee in the room ! Felt safe , lovely little touches around the property. If you don’t have a car you might be a bit limited but taxis are available. Plenty of parking at the hotel and car park outside. Breakfast was really good ,

Perfekt

Hotellissa on upeat puitteet rauhalliseen ja romanttiseen lomaan. Vietimme 10 päivää häämatkaa. Meille kuitenkin tuli hieman yllätyksenä kuinka kaukana hotelli on kaikesta. Jokapaikkaan pitää mennä taksilla ja matkaa on aika pitkästi eri nähtävyyksiin.
Hotellin henkilökunnalle erityiskiitos ystävällisestä palvelusta. Myös ruoka oli todella hyvää.

Tolle Strandlage, tolle Hotelarchitektur, super Essen

Esperienza meravigliosa; non si può descrivere con le parole la bellezza e l'incanto del posto, a partire dall'accoglienza al trattamento speciale ricevuto, anche in occasione del nostro anniversario. Siamo stati coccolati, viziati, trattati nel migliore dei modi per tutti i 9 i giorni trascorsi in questo luogo incredibile, dove tutto è bello, buono, curato, gentile, profumato, rilassante, divertente e speciale. L'arredamento delle parti comuni è bellissimo, ogni giorno lo riscopri e lo riaprezzi. La stanza meravigliosa con luci e musica soffusa che ti accoglie all'ingresso, ogni giorno rassettata con attenzione e cura mai viste (309 e 310). La location in generale è spettacolare: piscina, ristorante, bar, terrazza e spiaggia sono da sogno. Tutto è perfetto e ti lascia a bocca aperta. Il cibo è buonissimo, servito con cura, gentilezza, sorrisi e grazia da tutto il personale, che ti accoglie sempre con sorriso, benevolenza e allegria, a partire dai ragazzi più giovani attenti e gentili, che ci hanno fatto sentire regina e principesse (come ci dicevano loro :-)) ai camerieri veterani che ci hanno sempre fatto divertire con battute e gentilezze varie. Grazie per averci regalato una meravigliosa vacanza, dove il merito non è solo di questa fantastica isola ospitante ma sopratutto di questo Hotel eccezionale e della sua gente che porteremo sempre nel cuore, proprio come quel saluto con la mano sul cuore. Grazie a tutti e un caro saluto a Rewa, Daram, Bhool, Med e allo chef Shiva.

Bellissimo boutique hotel

Letteralmente il paradiso sulla terra. Ci siamo trovati benissimo in questa struttura, nell'hotel ci sono poche camere e tutti i servizi inclusi (l'hotel è adult only). Abbiamo prenotato una camera vista mare , eravamo certi che ne sarebbe valsa sicuramente la pena ed infatti svegliarsi la mattina con un'alba mozzafiato sull'oceano indiano è stata un'esperienza indimenticabile. L'hotel è dotato di tutti i comfort, ha uno stile arabo, ricorda un pò i riad marocchini. Silenzioso, immerso nella natura, è ottimo se volete ricaricare le batterie ed immergervi nella cucina spaziale che offrono. Perchè si, una cucina così io non l'avevo mai provata. Qualsiasi cosa voi proviate a scegliere dal menu è eccezionale. La formula prevede che voi possiate scegliere 2 piatti + dolce dal menu alla carta, e vi assicuro che è impossibile trovare qualcosa che non sia eccellente.Tanto di cappello allo chef e a tutto lo staff di cucina. Il personale è di una gentilezza estrema, ci hanno aiutato durante tutto la nostra permanenza, con tutti i problemi che ci sono capitati, sempre con sorriso e professionalità. Permettetemi di fare una menzione speciale per RISHA, per la sua passione e la sua competenza che ogni giorno esprime nel suo lavoro, se non fosse stato per lui e per tutto lo staff ci saremmo trovati in difficoltà su alcuni aspetti. Hotel super consigliato!!!

Sehr schönes Hotel in toller Lage. Besonders gefallen hat uns das Frühstück, bei dem es auch sehr leckere und frisch zubereitete glutenfreie Sachen gab.

Top Service, tolle Einrichtung, intime Atmosphäre, demnach kein „Palast“ mit hunderten Zimmern. Das Essen ist sehr, sehr exquisit, keine Massenware vom Buffet mit Lebensmitteln im Überfluss. Hier kommt der Nachhaltigkeitsgedanke sehr zum Vorschein.

The food was pretty decent aside from getting Food poisoning and (separately) finding frozen meat in my meal. Awkward check-in experience. Service was very average. All-inclusive was quite limited.

We travelled from Australia and stayed at this beautiful hotel in Mauritius, let me tell you hands down this is one of the best hotels I have been to with breathtaking sea views, private beach, beautifully unique designed hotel and best five star in class service.

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with a friendly smile. All the staff were very helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you to the reception staff and management for helping us plan our days accordingly to what we liked.

Thank you to security at the front of the hotel for your exceptional service and friendly smiles each day.

Thank you to the hotel staff for ensuring our room was clean and tidy to perfection each day.

There is one highlight that we will never forget which is the dine in at the Tek Tek restaurant with our own private chef. The six course menu was inspired by the islands rich culture and let me tell you the food was on another level with the combination of flavours the dishes were perfection. Each dish was made with love from the Chef. Thank you Chef Shiva and Helper Karan for the most wonderful night and dine in experience you both made our experience staying at Mauritius incredible. We hope to see you both again soon.

If you would like a luxurious stay I definitely recommend staying at this hotel. 🙂

Sejour parfait , magnifique hotel calme extrement bien placé.
Nous recommandons

Exceptional all-adults boutique hotel located perfectly on the quiet, relaxing East coast of beautiful Mauritius island. I had the pleasure of enjoying 5 nights in the “Best on Beach” room category complete with outdoor terrace with sun bed and a separate balcony overlooking the majestic Indian Ocean.

As a vegan, the chefs and culinary team curated delicious vegan meals that far exceeded my expectations. Every meal was flavorful, unique, healthy, and prepared with fresh, quality locally sourced ingredients. There is a garden on-site where many of the ingredients come from to create the amazing meals.

The staff here is simply wonderful. Shout out to Disha, Vinesh, Rajiv, Devin, Naresh, Shib, Navin, Mayur, Rajritik, Hanshi, Krishna, Raju, Kenny, Sarah, and Isabelle. Their genuine warmth, hospitality, and kindness made my solo getaway a very special and memorable experience to cherish for a lifetime.

Highly recommend the beautiful SALT of Palmar all-adults boutique hotel.

The staff was amazing. The only reason why I said 4 star was because the food was a little overpriced. However, the chef for the closed dinner food was excellent. Would recommend.

Best hotel service & food we've ever had.
They made it easy to feel completely comfortable.
Great ambiente, nice Boutique hotel, where you can really enjoy vacation. Nice beach with snorkeling tour offered every day.
We'll definitely plan to come back.

Camera vista mare arredata perfettamente con giusto spazi. Spiaggia tranquilla ben accessoriata. Cibo incredibile per varietà, materie prime e presentazione, abbiamo mangiato divinamente. Ottima la selezione di vini e alcolici.
SPA piccolina ma accogliente.
Torneremo, super consigliato!

Some hotels promise luxury. Others deliver warmth. Rarely do you find one that does both with such quiet brilliance as Salt of Palmar.

From the moment you step through its colorful, contemporary facade, you’re not just a guest — you’re part of something special and intentional. The staff, from gardeners to guest relations, extend a level of service that is as rare as it is heartfelt. It doesn’t feel like hospitality. It feels like coming home.

The food is a standout — fresh, vibrant, and elegantly plated, where even the simplest dishes surprise with gastronomic depth. The pool area is serene and stylish, on of the best beaches on the island is just steps away, and the entire property immaculate in both design and upkeep.

But what truly elevates Salt is its soul. In over 500 hotels I’ve visited, few have struck this balance of beauty, authenticity, and care. We were so psyched for this place that we cancelled another booking mid-trip just to return.

Salt of Palmar is more than a hotel — it’s the kind of place that stays with you, long after you leave.

: a good chef, it's not a self-service restaurant.
the hotel is on the beach, with blue skies, fine sand, and a turquoise sea
