 SALT of Palmar 

Mauritius, made local

An adults-only, design-led boutique hotel on the island’s east coast, made for those who want bold colour, brilliant food, local culture, and a place that feels unmistakably Mauritian.

SALT of Palmar is cozy, bright, and completely its own thing. Set on the coast in Palmar, near Belle Mare, this adults-only boutique hotel has 59 rooms, an eye-catching pool with plenty of double loungers, a perfect stretch of beach, and a look you’ll remember long after checkout. But the real difference is how connected it feels to Mauritius. Food is cooked from scratch using produce from local farmers, fishermen, and growers. The library is filled with Mauritian writing. Skill Swap experiences and immersive tours take you beyond the hotel, and the sustainability thinking shows up in all the details, from refillable toiletries to beach bags handwoven in Mauritius using recycled plastic.

Why we love SALT of Palmar

  • The design is a proper wow: graphic, colourful, and full of energy, but falling the just the right side of relaxed rather than overdone.

  • Food is a headline here. The Good Kitchen is à la carte for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with everything cooked from scratch and a real focus on local produce and Mauritian flavour. Tek Tek takes things one step further with an interactive dining experience featuring a 6–8 course tasting menu, where each dish transports you to a different corner of the island, showcasing its diverse culinary heritage.

  • Kayak, paddleboard, join guided snorkelling, try yoga, book a baking class, explore by bike, or use the Skill Swap platform to meet local people with something to teach you.

  • Everything from the food, design, books, music, toiletries, beach bags, and experiences all pull you closer to the island.

Eating here feels personal, local, and decidedly un-buffet-like. The Good Kitchen is the main event, with à la carte meals cooked from scratch and menus built around Mauritian growers, farmers, and fishermen. The SALT bakery brings fresh bread, pastries, tropical jams, homemade nut butter, and barista coffee into your morning. While Tek Tek takes things more intimate with a tiny-seat dining experience rooted in the island’s ocean-to-plate tradition. Add a stunning rooftop aperitivo, craft beers by the pool, and teatime with pastries, and the food becomes one of the best reasons to stay.

The Good Kitchen
The main à la carte restaurant, rooted in local produce and global ideas, with healthy dishes, indulgent dishes, raw options, vegan plates, vegetarian choices, and seasonal specials.

Tek Tek
An intimate 10-seat, six-to-eight-course dining experience built around locally sourced fish, seafood, venison, and homegrown ingredients.

SALT Bakery
The place for slow-fermented breads, pastries, tropical jams, seasonal marmalades, homemade nut butter, and freshly roasted barista coffee. Teatime brings coffee, tea, and pastries later in the day.

The Rooftop Bar
A relaxed ocean-view aperitivo spot, with cocktails inspired by the island’s mountains.

The Pool Bar
Your easy daytime-to-evening drinks spot, with Mauritian craft beers and cocktails inspired by the island’s places and ingredients.
