SALT of Palmar, Mauritius, a funky hotel exploding with colour and designed by French artist Camille Walala, is the first of the new progressive SALT hotel brand. This 5* property is also the first eco-hotel to grace the white sand shores of Mauritius, encouraging local experiences, sustainability and a love of the land – think reusable water bottles, locally sourced ingredients and toiletries, organic coffee robes, staff-led excursions, convertibles available to discover the island, and a library filled with a collection of 300 books curated by Mauritian authors. Retreat to the SALT Equilibrium spa where you’ll be met by the island’s first salt therapy room as well as a selection of massages all centred around – you guessed it – salt. Rooms of crisp whites featuring splashes of bold colours, a furnished balcony or terrace and a Roberts Radio offer comfort in your downtime while the monumental array of watersports encourages outdoor living. And you can take home more than a tan when you swap skills with the locals – pottery with Janine, fishing with Kishor or basket weaving with Mrs Bulleeram should all be on your must-learn list!
