Are you feeling stressed? Burnt out? Like there’s a heavy weight on your shoulders? In our busy and bustling world, it can be easy to be swept away in work, responsibilities, obligations, or relationships till you feel as if you’re lost at sea without a paddle… But if you just keep swimming, you might find the turquoise seas, the gentle waves, and the sparkling sea life of Mauritius, a paradise island where you can forget your troubles, connect with nature, and heal your mind.
This is exactly what SALT of Palmar aims to do. A luxury boutique resort set on the serene and secluded East Coast of Mauritius, SALT offers a focus on mental and spiritual wellness, tending to guests’ minds and bodies with extensive and intuitive yoga courses, nourishing and authentic foods, a strong sense of community, all while surrounded by the postcard beaches, swaying palms, and blue lagoons. It’s a picture-perfect resort to kick back, relax, and rejuvenate.
Does this sound like something you need? A break from reality for true serenity? From the 6th to the 13th May 2023, SALT is hosting an 8-day Yoga Retreat! Hosted by local, professional teachers, the course will guide guests each day through a schedule of invigorating activities and exercises, from guided meditation, to floating yoga on the sea, to cooking and bakery classes and even dance, music and poetry. Surrounded by likeminded guests, inspiring teachers, friendly locals, and the beauty of the tropical island, that weight on your shoulders will soon be long gone.
