Salt of Palmar
Salt of Palmar is a newly launched hotel brand with 59 rooms located on the east coast of Mauritius close to Belle Mare and right on the beach.
It’s the desire of the hotel management to bring the natural environment and local Mauritian way of life to the forefront, giving every visitor a real sense of what his homeland has to offer.
The farm of Salt of Palmar supplies its own restaurant. There’s a salt room in the spa, and the chance to restore your equilibrium throughout. There are no buffets, fixed TV screens, or single-use plastics. Just everything you need. Or didn’t know you did.
Designer Camille Walala was full of inspiration when she collaborated with local architecture studio JFA on the design of SALT of Palmar. Camille’s bold style meets Mauritius’ soulful style. And with local makers creating the furniture, art, and finer details, the Mauritian influence comes through loud and clear. It makes this boutique hotel completely unique. It’s inspiring. And it’s a very happy place to be.

Restaurants/bars
Restaurant
Food is the heart and soul of any place. And more than any other part of the SALT of Palmar experience, the restaurant tells you everything about the flavours of Mauritius. Bye-bye buffet. This is fresh, local, and tasty. They know the farmers, fishermen, and growers by name. But, here, the ingredients are the stars. The herb wall and a vegetable cellar show off the bounty. In the kitchen you will see simple, ancient cooking methods.
The wok, the tandoor oven and the charcoal grill are the trinity, and anything and everything will be smoked to release and enhance flavour. It will be marinated for hours and slow-cooked over wood overnight.
For the dishes, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Mauritian flavours all play a part, but it will not be be pinned down by fixed menus. It's a free creation and you are free to join in the kitchen anytime.
The Restaurant’s chefs cook six ways Wok, Tandoor, Grill, Smoke, Bake & Slow.
