Opening of the new SALT of Palmar in Mauritius

On November 1, the long-awaited opening of the first SALT brand hotel took place in Mauritius. The new SALT of Palmar is in every way a vivid and unbanal story that lovers of non-standard travel will especially appreciate. Here guests are waited not by a usual beach vacation, but by daily immersion in the original culture of local residents, familiarity with their traditions and customs.

SALT of Palmar is fundamentally different from the usual resorts. When it was created, special attention was paid not so much to the place as to the people who live on the island. Therefore, the hotel has a special Skill Swap program, which involves the integration of guests into the lives of local residents. Walking in the surroundings with a stop in one of the villages, going to the farmer's market, morning fishing or a friendly football match - all in order to feel the indescribable spirit of island life.

Of course, the new SALT of Palmar is the ideal hotel for those who like transformational travel. This trend still does not give up its positions and involves maximum immersion in the culture of the people of the country in which the rest takes place. It is proved that a sharp change in the usual environment is the best way to relieve stress and get rid of accumulated fatigue, which is especially important for residents of megacities.

The design of the new hotel was the responsibility of local architect Jean-Francois Adam of IFA Architects and French artist Camille Valala. Together, they managed to convey the bright island flavor with its relaxation and ease. That is why there is so much light in the rooms and halls, and the interior is dominated by smooth lines and pastel shades that are as close as possible to the natural landscape of Mauritius. All beds are arranged so that the first thing guests see upon waking up is the calming surface of the ocean.

Not without bright colors - the well-recognizable handwriting of Camille, who went on a trip to local villages for inspiration to get to know the culture and traditions of the indigenous people. So, in the SALT of Palmar restaurants, dishes from ceramics master Janine appeared, which created more than 950 unique handmade items. Also in the rooms of all guests are waiting for beach bags, woven and painted by 74-year-old Reote Buliram, and designer cosmetics made from natural ingredients, specially designed for a hotel of one of the families of Mauritius.

All hotel restaurants will operate on an a la carte system, and the menu will feature dishes made from seasonal products grown on their own farm. Special nutrition is given special attention to proper nutrition, therefore SALT promises to be the new Mecca for all fans of relaxation in the wellness style.

It is also interesting that the name of the hotel was reflected in the local SPA center: it is mandatory to visit the SALT Equilibrium SALT, where the first salt room on the island will operate with special aerosols that release small particles of salt into the air. The procedure helps to relax, increase immunity and energize the body for the whole day.

Daily physical activity is another important aspect of relaxation at SALT. This may be a morning yoga class or classes in the study of traditional shogi dance, hiking in the vicinity of the city of Palmar or a bike ride - anything. The main thing is to always stay in motion. For your convenience, you can also take local sim cards in your hotel so that you can go on a walking tour by downloading an application with a plan of the surroundings and guide comments on your phone.

By the way, especially for the SALT of Palmar, a team of local artists created an illustrated guide to the most interesting places in Mauritius. Attention to detail, an individual approach and a homely warm attitude to guests are the main features of the holiday at the new SALT hotel, which will open its doors this fall.

For everyone who wants to go to the SALT of Palmar in the New Year, there are pleasant promotions. For example, if you book a room using the Bad & Breakfast system before December 15, a special 40% discount will apply. The promotion is valid for the period from December 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
