That’s travel that takes you to people, not just places. Travel satisfies curiosity and connects you to the local community and their way of life. You’re listening to and tasting local. You’re out there exploring. You’re in it, not beside it.
SALT are beautiful hotels that give you everything you need to discover the place you are in. But also everything you need to relax, escape, and recharge.
Even better, when staying with us you’re involved in a good thing. We give back to the local communities we’re part of and do all we can to protect their environments. We boost economies by employing, sourcing, and collaborating locally. This celebrates culture and it makes for smiles.
We keep it simple. We remove the obstacles to your being in the place you’re in. That’s luxury in our book. It’s all about inspiration, adventure, and positive impact.
SALT is a way of life – a culture of authenticity and purity, exploration and interaction. What we believe in shapes the way we do what we do and inspires what we create, grow, and make happen.
We are your base from which to explore, not with a guidebook written by a visitor but with a guidebook written by locals and featuring photography by locals. This will take you off the beaten path, and get you behind the scenes. Hidden gems and brand new experiences. The truest artisanal crafts. The best eats and drinks. The swims, views, runs and walks. The know-how, when and who.
Read MoreMaking a positive impact is not as easy as making a negative one, but it’s worth the extra effort. It’s about being responsible, creating jobs, giving back and appreciating what we’re given, and being honest and fair. So, we sow seeds and build relationships. We support locals and respect their space. We don’t pollute or dilute. We’re part of the community.
Read MoreNo buffets. No waste that isn’t composted or animal fed. Clean plates and consciences. Simple menus with daily specials based on our farm’s harvest and our fisherman’s catch. We eat in season. Proteins are local, and what we can’t grow on our farm we source sustainably. Eggs from a free-range neighbour. Suppliers are family. We bake the bread, make the sauces, and roast the coffee.
Read MoreWhatever the hotel needs it gets from local sources. We seek out the makers and mavericks who live and work nearby. We clock up zero skill miles. Art, furniture, music, photography, fabrics, accessories, and toiletries. The list goes on. It supports the local community and economy. It’s the starting point of sustainability. It celebrates authenticity. And it gives each SALT its very own feel.
Read MoreThe playlists you hear at every SALT have been curated to make you smile. They weave together the classics and new releases that hold the secret to the local sound. Expect infectious rhythms and good time grooves.
Read MoreYou will never find a single use plastic product at SALT. Refillables, yes, but straws, coffee cup lids, and tiny toiletries, no. Cornstarch does the same job for packaging, and it’s compostable. We do clear-ups of local beaches and streets and then find a new life for the plastics we find. Single-use becomes multi-use. It’s something we can do.
