Salt Of Palmar - Hotel Restaurants

The Restaurant

Bye-bye buffet. This is fresh, local, and tasty. We know our farmers, fishermen, and growers by name. But, here, the ingredients are the stars. Our herb wall and a vegetable cellar show off our bounty. In the kitchen, we look to simple, ancient cooking methods.

The wok, the tandoor oven and the charcoal grill are our trinity, and we smoke anything and everything to release and enhance flavour. We marinate for hours and slow-cook over wood overnight.

For the dishes, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Mauritian flavours all play a part, but we won’t be pinned down by fixed menus. We are free to create. And you are free to join us in our kitchen anytime.

SALT Bakery

Fresh is the word at the bakery. Tempting bread and pastries, always straight from the oven. Local barista, serving freshly home-roasted coffee 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The SALT bakery is a contemporary café and bakery perfect for gathering, socialising and enjoying a delectable selection of homemade pastries, in a casual and comfortable setting.

The Bars

On the roof. On the beach. And by the pool. Life doesn’t get more easy-going than this. Relaxing. Meeting people. Sharing stories. Sprawled on a beanbag. With the music, the drinks, and the ocean views, all three of our bars are the place to be.

Salt Of Palmar - Spa

SALT Equilibrium

Holiday time. It’s a good time to focus on you being soothed, hydrated, detoxified, and energised. That’s why we created SALT Equilibrium. It’s a concept, but it’s not lofty (or compulsory). It’s simple. And salt – humble salt – plays a big part in it.

In our spa, different salts bring different benefits. And it’s an island first, our room made of salt. In its warm crystal glow, you breathe deeply while salt vapour boosts your respiratory system, skin, immunity, and energy levels. It’s entirely natural and very ancient. Stress is reduced. So are bacteria, muscular tension, and inflammation. It’s called halotherapy. Equilibrium is also about embracing nature and eating raw, plant-based food. You’ll be balanced in no time.

Was in der Hotelregion zu tun ist

Golf - Ost

Was das Golfspielen anbelangt hat Mauritius langjährige Erfahrung. Diese Sportart wurde im Jahre 1844 unter britischer Herrschaft auf der Insel zum ersten Mal gespielt und Mauritius wurde somit als drittes Land der Welt in das Golfspielen eingeführt.

Mauritius hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, zur besten Golfdestination im Indischen Ozean zu werden und nach und nach zu einem der besten Golfziele weltweit. 2008 wurde von der International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGRO) der Titel verliehen: Golfdestination des Jahres.

Heute gibt es acht 18-Loch und fünf 9-Loch Golfplätze in Mauritius. Die meisten liegen entlang der Küste in den Hotelanlagen. Einige wurden von berühmten Golfspielern entworfen, wie Bernhard Langer, Ernie Els und Robin Wright. Professionelle Trainer, Schläger, Bälle, Caddies und Carts können gemietet werden. Das Golfangebot ist für jeden geeignet, vom Anfänger bis zum anspruchsvollen Spieler.

Die meisten Golfplätze auf der Insel sind so gelegen, dass Sie in einer atemberaubenden Kulisse mit Blick auf die wunderschönen Berge auf der einen und den Stränden auf der anderen Seite spielen können.

Kitesurf Osten

Viele Menschen sind sich nicht darüber bewusst, dass die Wurzeln des Kitesurfens bis in die frühen 1800er Jahren zurückgehen, es sich jedoch Mitte der 1990er Jahren etablierte. Oft wird es als eine Mischung aus verschiedenen Wasser- und Flugsportarten wie Windsurfen, Wakeboarden, Surfen und Paragliding beschrieben.

Mauritius bietet mit seinen großen Lagunen und den Süd-Ost-Passatwinden alle notwendigen Voraussetzungen für ein spannendes Kitesurf-Erlebnis, sowohl für Anfänger als auch erfahrene Kitesurfer.

Das Land zählt inzwischen 8 registrierte Kitesurf-Schulen und -Verleihe. Die meisten Wassersportarten stehen den Urlaubern in der Regel im Hotelbereich zur Verfügung, für diesen Wassersport jedoch, bieten spezielle Schulen ausgebildete Kitesurf-Lehrer der Internationalen Kiteboarding-Organisationen und verleihen Kiteboards, entweder pro Tag oder pro Woche. Die Ausrüstungen sind von internationalem Standard und werden regelmäßig gewartet und aktualisiert. Einige Schulen bieten auch Fahrten für kleine Gruppen zu Lagunen, rund um die Insel, die allerdings aus logistischen Gründen, im Voraus gebucht werden müssen.

Es ist ratsam, auch wenn Sie ein erfahrener Kitesurfer sind, sich vorher alle notwendigen Informationen zu beschaffen, über die besten Plätze, die Winde der Jahreszeiten und die Schutzmaßnahmen an bestimmten Punkten.

Wann?

Da die Wassertemperatur nie unter 20° C fällt, ist auf Mauritius das ganz Jahr über Saison für das Kitesurfen, nicht zuletzt wegen der Winde, die jedoch in den Monaten Juni bis Januar sehr stark sein können.

Wo im Osten?

Der Vorteil an der Ostküste, einschließlich der Südostküste ist, dass sie Kitesurf-Spots für alle Fähigkeitsstufen bietet. Die beste Zeit für das Kitesurfen ist dort von April bis November. Zu den bekannten Spots in der Region gehören Belle Mare, Pointe d'Esny und Blue Bay. Flachere Spots gibt es in Poste Lafayette, La Colombiere, Trou d'Eau Douce und L'Ile aux Cerfs. Nachteile dieser Region sind, dass die Wassertiefe in den Lagunen nicht konstant ist und die Korallenblöcke somit eine Gefahrenquelle darstellen. Außerdem gibt es mehrere Durchgänge mit starken Strömungen, die die Kiter außerhalb der Lagune ziehen können. Daher ist es ratsam, ausschließlich in der Lagune zu surfen.

Reiten Osten

Reiten ist ein Sport, der tief in den Traditionen dieses Landes verwurzelt ist. In Mauritius befindet sich die älteste Pferderennbahn der südlichen Hemisphäre. Fast jeder Mauritier teilt die Leidenschaft der Pferderennen, unabhängig von seiner ethnischen Zugehörigkeit oder seines sozialen Standes.

Nicht nur auf dem Champ de Mars Rennbahn wird das Reiten praktiziert, es gibt durchaus einige Reitzentren auf der Insel. Es ist schon ein besonderes Erlebnis auf dem Pferderücken die Sandstrände der Insel zu erkunden, durch die Wellen zu reiten und dabei die Landschaft zu genießen. Nehmen Sie ein Bad im Meer mit ihren Pferden, dies ist eine einzigartige Erfahrung. Am Abend genießen Sie den Sonnenuntergang bei einem ruhigen Ausritt, allein, mit Ihrem Partner oder Ihrer Familie.

Mauritius bietet auch Reitzentren an verschiedenen Orten der schönen Domains im Herzen der Insel. Einige Gebiete erstrecken sich über 2.000 Hektar, wo Sie in der üppigen Vegetation Mauritius reiten können.

Osten

Eine der größten Domain der Insel, liegt an der Ostküste. Hier können Sie weit über eine Stunde in einer atemberaubenden Landschaft ausreiten, die Ihnen Mauritius von einer ganz anderen Seite beschert. Außerdem stehen Ihren Begleitern eine ganze Reihe an Aktivitäten und Serviceleistungen zur Verfügung.

Mahebourg Historical Naval Museum

The Mahebourg Historical Naval Museum pays tribute to the 1810 battle naval of the Vieux Grand Port which lasted several days and was a great attempt by the British to conquer the island. It ended in defeat for the British and both sides suffered heavy casualties. The French victory is inscribed on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

At that time the museum was a hospital which catered for the injured commanders both of the French and English fleets for treatments. The story of the victory is retold in the museum, along with salvaged items - cannons, grapeshot and the all-important wine bottles - from the British frigate Magicienne, which sank in the battle.

The museum occupies three floors, where two of which are accessible to the public. On the ground floor wreckage of sailing ships that took part in the Grand Port battle, original cannon, cannonball, paintings and swords and weaponry of Robert Surcouf, the eighteenth-century corsair, popularly known as the king of the Corsairs. A large relief map shows the complicated reefs of Vieux Grand Port where the great battle took place. The bell, recovered from the wreckage of the St Geran which sunk off the east coast in 1744, is also on display. There is an interesting newspaper cutting of Charles Seabourne, who with survivors from the ship Trevessa, landed at Bel Ombre in the south in 1923 after spending 25 days at sea. On display are the ship's biscuits, a razor and the lid of a cigarette tin which they used to measure water rations. In a separate showcase is a Roll of Honour dedicated to Mauritians who died in World War II.

On the first floor are Labourdonnais' four-poster bed, two palanquins or wooden sedan-type chairs, which were borne by slaves to convey their masters through the country and a collection of coins, curios, model sailing ships and early maps, labelled in French and English.
