Skill Swap
SALT guests will be immersed into the heart of Mauritian life, with the opportunity to connect directly with locals via our Skill Swap. This means they exchange their time, talent & skills with the local people. Guests of SALT can also join our local suppliers and see their work or passion. From pottery with Janine at her Pamplemousses studio or early morning fishing with Kishor, or basket weaving with Mrs Bulleeram in Brisée Verdière – SALT has friends doing incredible things all over the island and guests are invited to share their passion.
When you stay with us you can choose to give some of your time to share a skill with a local. Let us know of the skills you would like to share below - if you’re a designer you meet up with a local designer, a farmer might work with the growers for a day, a teacher can go into a local school, or a football coach can teach the local team.
