We recently stayed at Sal Salis on Ningaloo Reef and it was an amazing experience. The staff were so lovely. Special mention to Lawrence, Leith, Jess(Jeff)🤣 and Erin. Food was delicious, tents were terrific. Comfy bed which was made up every day. The beaches are spectacular and the snorkelling tours really good. Loved our swim with the whalesharks but agree it’s quite strenuous and full on. But the guys and girls on the boat were very helpful and assisted us really well. Love, love, loved it!

I have just returned from three nights at Sal Salis. The resort was well organised - the transfer arrangements and dietary requests were requested and met in full. The food was absolutely delicious and the company of the guests was very pleasant. As another reviewer mentioned the tent and path lighting are all LED low voltage and not so bright. And there is no airconditioning as the resort takes its eco responsibilities seriously. Mobile phone charging is available via two USB ports in the room; there are no 240V sockets in the tent. The reef was in good condition - neither broken nor bleached. This reflects the fairly remote location and the relatively few visitors compared to the Maldives for example. I saw plenty of fish, a ray and turtles on the reef I went on the hotel organised Yardie Creek Gorge walk, the Oyster Bay snorkel and the Oyster Bay canoe trip & snorkel. I also went on the Exmouth Diving Centre whale shark trip. What I would say is that the canoe and whale shark trips are physically demanding and a decent level of fitness, ie stamina, swimming ability and water confidence are required. The canoe trip is a 700m paddle out and back to the reef’s edge and requires clambering out and then back in to the floating canoe. The whale shark viewing takes place in the open ocean (beyond the reef) with a current, sea swell and wind - it is a thoroughly rewarding & memorable experience but it is not a spectator activity, it is a sporting activity requiring considerable physical effort. Help is at hand from the guides for all activities and noodles are available for the whale shark swim. Despite the assistance there were not many over 60’s in the resort / participating in the water based activities. I would have no hesitation recommending a stay at Sal Salis and suggest three or four nights as an ideal length of stay, longer could be a bit boring.

We loved our three night Sal Salis experience. I would call it upmarket glamping with gourmet meals. The staff were attentive to help us enjoy this amazing spot, Ningaloo. The tent was extremely comfortable and a great way to experience the outdoors in a king-sized triple sheeted bed. We especially loved meeting the other guests at meal times.

Great stay at Sal Salis back in May. The tent was incredibly comfortable, staff attentive and food and wine of a very high standard. Proximity to the beach was amazing and peace and quiet greatly appreciated. We were contacted just before our stay to organise pick up and dietary requirements etc. and everything ran perfectly. This is not a cheap place to stay obviously, but if you can do it then do!

The Ningaloo reef is excellent and well worth visiting. Sal Salis tented accomodation is well sited for reef visits and the food is excellent.However a note of caution for older guests with the lighting in the tents with solar power is inadquate at night as is the lighting on the pathways. The tent is a real falls risk for older guests and therfore I would not recomendet it as accomodation for this group. I nearly fell a couple of times trying to get in and out of the tent. I am sure that it is technically possible to improve the nighttime lighting. It should be high priority for the management

We recently spent 5 wonderful days at Sal Salis. The tent was clean and the bed was very comfortable - we loved lying in bed listening to the ocean at night. The meals were delicious & different every night - each course was paired with a different wine. Watching the sunset each night with canapés and drinks was a highlight as was our last night when the staff set up the dinner tables under the stars. We loved the morning sunrise hikes to nearby gorges and the kayaking and snorkelling to nearby beaches - it was great having the staff with us to point out & explain different fish & coral. The staff were all amazing and very dedicated to all the guests. We would rate this as good as any 5 star hotel we have stayed at!

Our stay at the Sal Salis was absolutely perfect. We've both been lucky to have some pretty spectacular holidays - including a number of luxury safari stays - but Sal Salis is a whole new level of magic. The place feels incredibly natural. We knew it was remote and near the reef, which was one of the key draw cards for us, but they make excellent use of the stunning location. We thoroughly enjoyed the daily activities, thoughtfully programmed and guided by Hailey who generously shared her vast knowledge of the region and its wildlife (even on her birthday!) With no phone reception and being effectively in the middle of nowhere, we were expecting some things to be a bit rough or needing to "go with the flow". We absolutely went with the flow - but the service was impeccable and delightful at every turn. Beautifully serviced rooms and magnificent food - we were constantly asking ourselves: "how did they do that??" A particular highlight for us was the communal evening dining: it feels a little strange at first, but we met some wonderful people and were eager to swap numbers at the end of the trip! The entire operation under manager Nick's tremendous leadership has such a relaxed elegance that we felt transformatively rejuvenated from day one. The whole team went out of their way to make our stay truly memorable. Special thanks to Ben, Hannah, Hailey, Ben and Leo, and everyone else whose name I've forgotten! The crew feel like they're all great mates, and it was a privilege to spend time with them on our holiday. Thank you!!

This was a fantastic two nights but not the completely ‘wow’ factor we were looking for Staff were great, food and drink were wonderful. It was great to meet other guests in the communal area. However the accommodation was tired looking and needed some renovations. The bed was really comfortable and clean but the eco toilet had a odour that permeated the tent. Flooring was clean but the wooden slats and walkways. needed some loving attention- sanding and varnishing maybe. Weather is changeable in Ningaloo and I would have liked more options than tent or open ( but shaded) lodge. I was cold quite a lot - but loads of blankets available. Just not as comfy as I would except for ‘luxury’. The tour we did was good- Osprey Bay turtle watching but we are very inexperienced snorkelers and I would have appreciated some more help and care. I was quite scared with the swell in the reef. We cancelled the afternoon tour of kayaking as I was sure it would be too physically difficult. We are both 66 and quite fit and active but the tours lacked the supervision I needed. I should have liked someone to sit down with at the beginning of our stay to explain the tours and what was expected of us ( and a bit of education about what we expected to see) I was glad I was only staying for two nights and that we had a car and were able to tour about the area before and after our stay. Otherwise I would have been bored. We have stayed in some of the other luxury lodges of Australia - some of which have been truly amazing-and although Sal Salis is good, it is not the luxury I expected for the price. Sal Salis, you are in a privileged position and you could do more…..

We had to wait 2 years ,because of Covid, to get to Sal Salis and it was worth the wait. From going to sleep listening to the surf on the reef to waking up to whales breaching just perfect. All the excursions were well planned and worthwhile to do but no pressure to do them. Food was delicious and each night different highlighting the local produce. Swim with the whale sharks, walk along the beach, snorkeling the fringing reef or just lie in the sun. Sal Salis is the place to do it.
