SALT of Palmar, an Adults-only Boutique Hotel
On the quiet east coast of Mauritius lies a stretch of beach where the light of the Indian Ocean reflects in calm shades of blue over the lagoon from the morning. The SALT of Palmar from the Design Hotel Collection consciously presents itself differently here compared to many classic beach hotels on the island and focuses on a relaxed, unagitated atmosphere. Open spaces, clear shapes, and many areas directly by the water create an environment that appears modern and relaxed at the same time. The adults-only concept targets guests who intentionally want to combine time by the sea, good food, and small discoveries on the island. Overall, a place emerges that relies less on classic resort operations and more on a calm, almost homelike atmosphere by the beach.

Culinary
The hotel's kitchen is heavily oriented towards regional products and traditional recipes from Mauritius. In the main restaurant, many dishes are prepared from the island's vegetables, spices, and fish, often in open cooking stations right in front of the guests. A focus is on seasonal ingredients from local markets and small producers in the area. The offering is complemented by a bar with homemade drinks, Mauritian rum, and light dishes for the day.
Activities
The long beach of Palmar is particularly suitable for walks, swimming, and water sports in the calm lagoon. The hotel also organizes bike tours through nearby villages as well as visits to local markets and craft businesses. The premises also feature a spa, yoga offerings, and workshops around Mauritian cuisine or culture. Excursions often lead to beaches or natural areas along the east coast that can be reached within a short drive.
Rooms
The rooms are designed according to the hotel's design concept, combining clear shapes with handcrafted details. Natural materials, locally produced ceramics, and light wood furniture characterize the spaces. Large windows let in plenty of daylight and open the view to the garden or sea. The rooms start at around 37 square meters and come with balconies or terraces with sitting areas.
Location
The SALT of Palmar, an Adults-only Boutique Hotel is located on the quiet east coast of Mauritius directly on the beach of Palmar. The distance from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport is approximately 45 kilometers, corresponding to a driving time of about 60 minutes. The lagoon in front of the hotel is one of the longer stretches of beach on this coast and offers an unobstructed view of the Indian Ocean. Places like Belle Mare or Trou d’Eau Douce, starting points for boat trips to Île aux Cerfs, can be reached in about 10 to 15 minutes.
