SALT of Palmar (above), the adults-only boutique hotel on the east coast of Mauritius, has unveiled four new and exclusive wellness programs.
Each has been thoughtfully designed for modern travellers seeking authentic, restorative experiences that connect body, mind and nature.
Available year-round, the curated retreats include the Mind-Body-Spirit Babymoon (a gentle sanctuary for expectant mothers), The Best of SALT (a celebration of movement, mindfulness and Mauritian culture), The Wellness Warrior (a four-day transformational fitness journey) and the 2-Day Reset Retreat (a quick yet powerful recharge for busy professionals).
“These retreats offer guests the chance to truly reset – physically, mentally and emotionally,” says Mr Raj Reedoy, General Manager of SALT of Palmar.
“By integrating fitness, mindfulness and sustainable practices, we help our guests build lasting healthy habits while reconnecting deeply with themselves and their surroundings.”
Set against Indian Ocean vistas, each experience embodies SALT of Palmar’s eco-conscious ethos where farm-to-table, plant-based cuisine, nature-inspired therapies such as forest bathing and the island’s first and only Himalayan SALT Room combine to promote balance, vitality and self-discovery.
SALT also celebrates its Vegan Welcome certification, with more than 35 per cent of menu offerings vegan and vegetarian, showcasing local produce, island flavours and conscious dining.

Recognition, Wellness And Cultural Discovery In Vietnam
Bhaya Soul, the elevated wellness concept by Bhaya Cruises, has received global recognition with its curated calendar of new experiences for discerning travellers.
Bhaya Soul was recently included in the prestigious 2026 World’s Greatest Places list by TIME, an annual selection of 100 extraordinary destinations worldwide.
This accolade reflects the brand’s commitment to meaningful, mindful travel in Ha Long Bay, where wellness, Vietnamese culture and immersive design converge to create a deeply restorative journey.
A series of hands-on, culturally rooted experiences are designed to connect guests with Vietnam’s heritage:
# Scented Herbal Sachets Workshop (April 2026):
Guests can craft their own all-natural sachets using locally sourced herbs, which is an aromatic expression of traditional wellness practices.
# BátTràng Mosaic Coaster Workshop (May 2026):
Inspired by the famed Bát Tràng, this creative session invites guests to design a bespoke keepsake using pieces from the village’s centuries-old ceramic tradition.
For travellers seeking deeper exploration, Bhaya expands its offering through Bhaya Legend, with extended itineraries ranging from four-day escapes to week-long expeditions.
These longer journeys unlock quieter, lesser-visited corners of Ha Long Bay, offering a more intimate connection with one of the world’s most renowned seascapes.
