SALT of Palmar

This hotel is everything you could wish for and more when you go on a holiday! The attention to detail around the hotel, and in your room, is just incredible. They really have thought of everything to make sure you have the most comfortable stay. The location, the hotel, its just beautiful!! The food is unbelievable, some of the best i’ve ever had. And the staff, they just can’t do enough for you! Honestly don’t have a bad word to say about this place- I usually like to change it up and go to different places when I go away, but I am already planning my next trip here <3 ‘5* boutique hotel’ couldn’t sum this place up any better! Whilst we were staying here, we needed to speak to a local doctor as my partner had an infection (nothing related to the hotel) - the service was brilliant. From asking for advice in the lobby, to being on the phone to the amazing doctor they use within 5 minutes, he was then at the hotel and able to assess and medicate within the hour. He then came back the following day to administer more medication and sorted out us having a late checkout so he could make sure my partner was better before we left. He then proceeded to message every day to check in and was there if we had any questions - being poorly away from home is never fun, but the service we received made us feel so safe and looked after. A massive shout out to the hotel but especially to Dr Hujjaree!!! You’re amazing ☺️

Excellent hotel, incredible staff, superb and intimate setting, excellent catering consisting only of fresh products. Special mentions to Rishi, Naresh, Hanshi, Sharvind, Jith, Bishav, Med, Vish, Faraz, Bool and Kenny for their sense of hospitality, their kindness and their service. I highly recommend!

We're sadly almost due to leave after a two week honeymoon. The staff represent the very best of Mauritian people; multilingual, clever, classy, gentle, devoted to the care of guests. We've been so beautifully looked after by Vish, Ved, Med, Akshay, Vishmay, Bhishav, Sharvind, Hanshi, Sumila, Fajaaz, Bhool, Shiva, Dharam, Rewa, Avinash, Dheeraj to name but a few. Mauritius' exquisite beauty speaks for itself and doesn't require description. This hotel is exceptional and you won't regret your stay with a la carte food of the highest order, rooms serviced diligently and every need catered for. I wanted to review before we left in order to recognise the outstanding efforts of the staff particularly. Stunning experience.

Fantastic holiday - everything we hoped for and much more. Fantastic location, great hotel, fantastic food but the biggest factor that made the whole holiday worth it was the unbelievable staff. From the reception to the chefs, waiters, bar staff etc.... - all genuinely wanted you to have the best time possible in a non intrusive way. Do the TEK TEK and the 5 Island boat trip. Enjoy the fab drinks at the Roof Top Bar (Bhavish is the top man)

From the moment we arrived at Salt of Palmar, we were immersed in an atmosphere of understated luxury and genuine Mauritian hospitality. The hotel is a true sanctuary, with elegant design, beautifully landscaped surroundings, and breathtaking views of the turquoise lagoon that create an unforgettable setting. What truly sets this property apart is its exceptional service. Every member of the team was gracious, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring our stay was flawless. Their warmth, professionalism, and thoughtful attention to every detail made us feel valued and effortlessly cared for throughout our visit. The surroundings are simply spectacular. The tranquil beachfront, lush tropical gardens, and sophisticated yet intimate ambiance make it the perfect destination for relaxation and indulgence. Every space has been carefully curated to offer comfort, serenity, and a sense of refined luxury. A special thank you to Dheeraj, whose kindness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made our stay even more memorable. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the entire team—although I regret I cannot recall everyone's names, each member of staff contributed to making our experience truly exceptional. Salt of Palmar exceeded our expectations in every way. It is a destination where impeccable service, exquisite surroundings, and authentic hospitality come together to create a truly extraordinary experience. We leave with wonderful memories and cannot wait to return.

Our stay at this hotel for our wedding was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment our guests arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. Coordinating accommodations for a large wedding group is no easy task, but they handled every detail with professionalism, kindness, and genuine hospitality. The team was always available to answer questions, accommodate special requests, and ensure our guests had everything they needed throughout their stay. They played a huge role in making our wedding weekend stress-free and memorable, and we’re incredibly grateful for their outstanding service. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or hosting a large celebration like a wedding, I can’t recommend this hotel enough. They truly know how to make every guest feel special, no matter the size of the group. Thank you for helping make one of the most important weekends of our lives so unforgettable!

Everything was so beautiful there and the service was spectacular. Rishi the manager went out of his way to make sure everything was amazing and he accomplished that. We signed up for the breakfast daily and it didn’t disappoint. The breakfast isn’t a buffet style, and you order as you would at a restaurant and the food was actually real food they handmade and so fresh. I can’t wait to come back!!! Thank you again Rishi for making our trip run so smoothly and making sure we all had a good time. All the staff there was excellent as well, willing to help with anything we needed.

What a beautiful place to stay We had a room right on the beach “bang on the beach” The staff here go above and beyond for you Nikita was wonderful as do were every single member of staff Very relaxing the food wow and the head chef an absolute diamond He made me crème brûlée just for me delicious Everybody just wants it to be perfect for you I needed a fridge ( rooms don’t have ) fir my medication there was one put in for me There’s no tv in room but they do have radio The manager sorry I didn’t catch his name he was always on hand to make your stay as perfect as he could Nothing but sea sand and relaxation

If I could rate this hotel a 10* I would! From first arrival up until now (leaving today :() the service has been amazing. The staff cannot do enough for you and they make you feel so welcome. I was lucky enough to have a bang on the beach room and just wow! Super comfortable bed, fantastic shower and all the the things you really need. Including an unreal view. I chose the all-inclusive option and this was great! A huge selection of drinks and food. There are some that are at an additional cost but if you are on a plan already, you get a discount. Dinner at Tek Tek is a must. It is an additional cost but completely worth it. I opted to have a 90 minute massage and it was the best I’ve ever had! Pushpa thank you for a great birthday experience. A massive thank you to Yogesh and Heeroo serving on the beach - thank you for making sure I always had a cocktail at all times! Salt of Palmar thank you so much - I have booked to return in November and cannot wait to come back for a Ti Punch :)

An unforgettable stay at SALT of Palmar Mauritius From the moment we arrived at SALT of Palmar, we knew we had chosen somewhere truly special. This is not just a hotel — it is an experience that feels thoughtful, personal, and beautifully connected to the spirit of Mauritius. The setting is absolutely breathtaking. Waking up in our sea view room to the sound of the ocean was something we will never forget. The design of the hotel is unique, vibrant, and full of character — every corner feels intentional, creative, and welcoming. What stood out most was the atmosphere. SALT has managed to create the perfect balance between luxury and relaxation. It feels stylish and boutique. The adults-only environment made it the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and truly enjoy quality time with my husband while there to celebrate my 35th birthday. The food was a highlight of our stay. The focus on fresh, local ingredients and Mauritian flavours made every meal feel special rather than like typical resort dining. The team’s passion for what they do really shines through. Thank you to the chef and all the chef’s team for some of the best food we have ever eaten. I highly recommended this hotel for all kinds of eaters - but a special note for the vegans - you will find so much joy and comfort in the plant based offering here. A special mention has to go to the staff who took such great care of us. Every person we interacted with was warm, genuine, and attentive. Their kindness and hospitality made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. A special thank you to Dheeraj, Rishi, Rewa, Ananda, Dharam, Bool, Fayaaz and the wonderful Heero. The beach, the sunsets, the rooftop moments, the peaceful mornings, private dinner beach dinner celebrations and lastly, the overall feeling of being somewhere that encourages you to pause and appreciate the moment made this trip unforgettable. Thank you SALT of Palmar for giving us memories we will carry with us for a long time. We leave feeling relaxed, grateful, and already dreaming of returning.

We are currently staying here and have been upgraded to a Bang on the Beach room, which was a wonderful surprise—thank you! Salt is a fantastic hotel, offering a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that's perfect for a quality getaway. This is our first visit to both Mauritius and the hotel, and we've been extremely impressed. The staff are amazing—always welcoming, friendly, and polite, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Although we originally booked on a bed and breakfast basis, we decided to upgrade to the half-board package due to the limited dining options within walking distance of the hotel. It has been a great decision and has made our stay even more enjoyable. We're also planning to hire a car this week so we can explore more of the island and experience everything Mauritius has to offer. Overall, a wonderful stay so far, and we would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront escape.

⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ (3/10) I sacrificed a lot to take this trip. As a contractor, I don’t get paid when I don’t work. This holiday cost me not only the money I spent staying here, but also the income I gave up by taking time off. I came to Mauritius exhausted from work and excited for a memorable holiday. Mauritius exceeded my expectations. This resort did not. The biggest problem is that there is simply not enough happening here to justify the price. Despite the image presented online, I found very little atmosphere, very little entertainment, very little social energy, and very little reason to spend time on the property. Day after day felt the same: look at the beach, look at the pool, eat at the same restaurant, repeat. The rooftop bar was often empty. Many of the activities advertised were either not visible or did not appear to happen during my stay. There was no real atmosphere. There was no real energy. There was very little to do. The rooms are also surprisingly small for the price. There is no TV. There is no fridge. The rooms feel intentionally designed to push guests outside. The problem is that once you get outside, there isn’t much happening there either. I often felt like I was paying luxury prices for permission to do very little. What frustrated me most was the constant feeling of being restricted. I was refused a beach towel for an excursion. I was told I could not take my drink a short distance across the pool area to my daybed, despite having previously seen another guest walk to a daybed with a glass of wine. I was told visitors could not come to my room because I had booked as a solo traveller. I experienced dress-code enforcement at the only main restaurant available under my package. Individually these incidents may seem small. Together they created an atmosphere where I felt constantly managed instead of welcomed. By the end of the trip, it genuinely felt like there was a policy for everything. What ultimately frustrated me most was the feeling that guest experience came second to rules and opportunities to spend more money. Drinks were expensive. Extras were expensive. Dining options were limited. Activities were minimal. And yet I frequently felt that the answer to many requests was either “no” or “that will cost extra.” By the end of the trip, I genuinely felt that the focus was on extracting additional revenue from guests rather than creating an experience that justified the price of staying there in the first place. Luxury should make guests feel looked after. I often felt like I was being sold to. The dining experience was also disappointing. There is essentially one main restaurant included and the menu becomes repetitive very quickly. If you’re going to enforce dress expectations, then provide guests with meaningful alternatives. Don’t make one restaurant the centre of the guest experience and then dictate how people should present themselves to use it. As a solo young Black woman travelling alone, I left feeling unwelcome. Whether intentional or not, that was my experience. I watched other guests enjoy freedoms that I was told were against policy. Repeated experiences like this left me feeling singled out, out of place, and constantly aware that I was not the typical guest this property seemed designed for. The best parts of my Mauritius trip happened outside this resort: catamaran cruises, Blue Bay, meeting local people, exploring the island, and experiencing actual Mauritian culture. Those experiences saved my holiday. I do want to thank Akshay at the restaurant ,Bhavish, and the ladies at the spa. They were warm, kind, professional, and among the few people who made me feel genuinely welcome. I came to Mauritius wanting to experience Mauritius. The best parts of my trip happened everywhere except this resort. I left Mauritius wanting to come back. I left this resort relieved to leave.

I honestly don’t even know where to start!! My stay was absolutely beyond amazing, beyond outstanding, truly unforgettable in every single way. A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to Mr. Rishi, the Front Office Manager, for the most incredible, warm, and professional welcome we’ve ever received. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of and genuinely valued. His hospitality set the tone for everything that followed... simply exceptional. Every part of this experience was on another level. The restaurant service was flawless, with attention to detail, super-attentive staff, and an atmosphere that made every meal feel special. And the food… absolutely packed with flavour and beautifully presented. A very special highlight for the phenomenal Chef Ravi at Tek Tek! His energy, passion, and the way he explained each dish made the experience so engaging and enjoyable. Watching him cook was a show in itself, and the food was honestly next-level. We tried so many new things and everything was just WOW. The rooftop bar was another unforgettable experience with stunning views, incredible vibe, and a super cool mixologist who crafted amazing cocktails and really brought the place to life. And I cannot forget Pushpa at the spa and the salt room!! AMAZING! My room was spotless, elegant, and beautifully decorated for my fiancé’s birthday with such a thoughtful touch that made the stay even more special and emotional for us. Housekeeping, room service, bellboys, well, every single person we interacted with was polite, professional, and genuinely kind. Everything worked perfectly, and we felt completely at home from start to finish. If we could give more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! I cannot wait to be back!

We are frequent visitors to Mauritius and have stayed at most of the quality hotels on the island. However, the one hotel which we always return to is SALT of Palmar - It had managed to get everything perfect: the wonderful, inspired colourful interior design, the delicious food and perhaps importantly of all the friendliness of the hotel team. With just 50 rooms the hotel is the perfect scale to get to know fellow guests and the staff. The hotel is extremely clean and immaculately kept. The rooms are beautifully designed without being ostentatious – the beds are without doubt the most comfortable on the island! Above all this is the food! The chef prepares the most delicious, inspired selection at breakfast, lunch or dinner mostly with local produce. We were truly spoilt for our wedding anniversary dinner with a beautiful chocolate cake to celebrate. We are very grateful to Raj Reedoy, Rishi, Met, Vish and the chef for making our anniversary truly special. It’s a real pleasure to experience a rare hotel like this where everything is just right – well done SALT team! Looking forward to our next visit. Mr & Mrs Bennett

We spent three amazing days in a Bang on Beach room and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay. The service was excellent throughout, and the food was outstanding. We especially appreciated the balance of dining options, neither too few nor overwhelming in number, with great variety between lunch, beachside dining, and dinner. The à la carte breakfast was particularly impressive. We loved the beach. While it is not very large, it is beautifully maintained and well organized. The soft white sand and crystal-clear water made for wonderful swimming and excellent snorkeling. The sunrise is spectacular and not to be missed by early risers. The sunsets are equally beautiful, especially when enjoyed from the rooftop. The location is ideal, offering the best of both worlds with stunning sunrise and sunset views. A special thank you to Yogesh for his outstanding service and warm approach on the beach, and to Rewa for the excellent service in the restaurant. We are also grateful to the entire team, as there are surely many others who contributed to making our stay so memorable. We hope to be back soon!

Had a wonderful stay at Salt of Palmar! A cozy and peaceful hotel, perfect for relaxing and disconnecting from daily life. A special thank you to the F&B team for their excellent service, especially Mr. Med and his team, who made our stay even more enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon!

We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights in a Garden View room. Warm welcome, short tour of the hotel and facilities. Room - spacious with very comfortable bed. Open bathroom and Japanese style toilet. Restaurant - we stayed on the full board package and also took the drink package. Very good value for money! The food was great from breakfast to dinner. Tasty and plentiful and service attentive. Special thanks Rowit and Dashak! Nice cocktail and wine list. Pool & Beach - pool area is small but very cosy and was never packed. Same for the beach area. Comfortable loungers, beach boy bringing food and drinks, nice beach and the free snorkeling tour was great. Best points - adult only, relaxed vibe. Good food and nice beach. Room for improvement - the slamming of the hotel doors was a bit annoying. And service sometimes a bit rushed. Relax we are on holidays no need to catch the train to work. Very much recommended and will not hesitate to book it again! Thank you all!

Fantastic experience. Great service. Unique concept. Credit goes to the whole team in particular Med, Ananda and Rishi. Will definitely come back again.

This small boutique hotel definitely met our expectations! We were upgraded to a bang on the beach room & the location & view were superb!!! We opted for full board so all of our meals were included & the standard and choice of food were excellent. We could have gone all inclusive drinks, but for us the $100 AUD per day each was not worth it as we spent less than this during our 7 day stay. The staff were exceptional and I would like to personally thank Yogesh & Rewa for looking after us so well! Special mention to Bavish our roof top bar waiter who was exceptional!!! The only disappointment was we had booked a 5 island trip on the 24th May for my wife’s special birthday with Rishi & I feel we were lied to when we were told the trip was cancelled due to weather (other people went on the trip that day with no issue). Some honesty would have been appreciated!! Other than this, we had an amazing experience & I would highly recommend this resort!!!

I had a truly wonderful stay at SALT of Palmar. The hotel has a calm & stylish atmosphere & the attention to detail throughout made it feel very special. It was also refreshing to enjoy the peaceful, adults only environment — a real treat to relax without the usual noise & bustle. Id like to say a special heartfelt thanks to Rishi, who went above & beyond to help me resolve an unexpected issue with my car rental. His kindness, patience & willingness to assist made a stressful situation so much easier, it really reflects the exceptional level of care as I t’s the people who make a place memorable, Rishi & ALL his team are a real credit to the hotel, I will DEFINITELY be returning…… Thank you ☀️🕶️🌴✨

My husband and I had the pleasure and privilege to stay at Salt of Palmar for 10 nights (2-12 April 2026). Our transfer from the airport was professional and seamless. We were warmly greeted at the entrance of the hotel and were seated in the cosy library. Check in was quick and efficient. Our room (101) on the ground floor was more than adequate in terms of size. The room was tastefully decorated and furnished. We also enjoyed the huge shower. The view on our balcony through the garden of the swimming pool and ocean was breathtaking. The ambiance throughout the hotel intimate, peaceful, quiet and romantic. We were on the all inclusive dining plan (selected drinks included) and this was excellent value for money. We also thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast, lunch and dinner A la Carte menus. Every dish was prepared with love and passion and care and bursting with flavor. The food was also beautifully presented. We also enjoyed the Mauritian themed dinners (Fridays) immensely. Easter Sunday dinner was a delightful surprise. The tables in the Good kitchen were beautifully decorated in the spirit of Easter. We could clearly see the dedication of staff members whom lovingly created a very special evening. We want to extend our gratitude to Chef Shiva and the entire culinary team. Each and every staff member's dedication to serve guests with genuine friendliness and care was evident throughout the day. The whole team operated like a well oiled machine. We received complimentary hand massages at the pool area by the friendly Spa Therapists which was simply magical. I also had my hair blow dried at the Spa. The therapist had a hart of gold and it was a real treat and very relaxing. We had the privilege to have dinner at Tek Tek with chef Ravi on our last evening. The ambiance was extremely intimate and a once in a lifetime, memorable experience. Each dish was exquisite and the presentation pure artwork. (See my Tek Tek review). We would like to thank each and every staff member from the bottom of our hearts for effortlessly contributing to our memorable holiday. PS; The view from the bathroom window in the WC at the swimming pool is postcard perfect.

I have stayed at SALT of Palmar five times now, and it honestly feels less like a hotel and more like coming home. The welcome is always warm and genuine, with thoughtful little touches from Sakti that never go unnoticed. Rishi was also a pleasure to interact with. The F&B team truly adds to the experience as well. Bhavish, Med, Vikas, Reetesh, Sharvind, Heeroo, and many everyone else consistently create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere while delivering some of the best service I’ve experienced in a boutique hotel in Mauritius. Every visit reinforces why I keep coming. Highly recommended if you are looking for a peaceful haven on the island.

After being alone for two weeks across seven countries in Africa and wanted to finish the trip with treating myself ! Friends who live Mauritius suggested SALT and it did not disappoint! Fresh food, no buffets, no single use plastic...the bed was so inviting that I even checked the label to buy one ! The bang room was stylish and I spent lots of time on my personal balcony overlooking the green ocean and turned off the air conditioning to fall asleep listening to the waves. I took advantage of as many activities with a trained yoga instructor for the 6am sunrise yoga and I took the kayak out several times and did the glass bottom boat to see fish and even snorkelled - thanks to the encouragement of the sports staff since I was hesitant - the small gym has what you need and the healthy snack balls kept me fueled! The other treat was having a water station that you could decorate sparkling or a flat water with herbs and lemon to stay hydrated during your stay! Finally, I'm an avid reader and read five different books from their shared library of quality books that elite to Mauritius and Africa and Travel! Thank you for being inheriting for making such a special visit!
