SALT of Palmar

The DNA

SALT of Palmar: A Riot of Color, Culture & Conscious Travel on Mauritius’ East Coast
Design by Camille Walala. Purpose by the people. Count us in.


Mauritius, Reimagined

This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a movement. As the island’s first eco-hotel, SALT of Palmar is the ultimate expression of sustainable travel with soul. Set along a blindingly white-sand beach on the east coast of Mauritius, it’s where conscious travel meets vibrant style—and we’re here for all of it.


Walala Everywhere

If you’ve ever wanted to sleep inside a work of art, this is your moment. French design dynamo Camille Walala has splashed her signature bold patterns and punchy hues across every inch of the property. It’s maximalism with meaning—playful, energizing, and totally unforgettable. The aesthetic alone is worth the flight.


Eat Local. Live Local. Learn Local.

SALT of Palmar walks the sustainability talk. No buffets. No single-use plastics. No imports unless absolutely essential. Instead, you’ll dine on organic, locally sourced Mauritian cuisine, crafted with love and zero food miles. The rooftop bar serves up inventive cocktails with ocean views, while the salt therapy room brings serious wellness cred. But what really sets this place apart? Skills swaps. Guests are invited to trade knowledge with locals—think pottery, weaving, fishing, or mastering a proper Creole curry. It’s not just interactive; it’s intimate, authentic connection.


DNA Hotels Verdict

SALT of Palmar doesn’t just show you Mauritius—it plugs you in. With fearless design, deep sustainability, and a rare cultural intimacy, it’s a technicolor lesson in what travel should be: fun, meaningful, and truly local. A stay here isn’t just relaxing—it’s radically enriching.
