Sal Salis is an exclusive bush camp offering comfort and style in the World Heritage listed Cape Range National Park and overlooking the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef.
Accommodation is in 15 Wilderness Tents and one Honeymoon Tent; all are free standing, spacious and situated on a raised platform connected by boardwalks. Each has an en suite bathroom with an eco-friendly composting loo and a solar hot water shower. The tents are designed to blend with the dunes and low lying coastal scrub, they have comfortable beds and views of the Indian Ocean.
The Honeymoon Tent is more spacious and is situated for privacy and for a wonderful view south along the (almost always) deserted coastline, it also has a four-poster bed and is furnished with romance in mind.
The social heart of the camp is raised above the sand and coastal scrub and it too has views of the reef and the breakers beyond. A bar and open lounge area with a small reference library provides a great spot to sit out the heat of the day. Guests may help themselves to a selection of beverages from the open bar. Chef prepared meals feature local produce and dinner is shared with other guests against a backdrop of rich orange sunsets.
The focus of your stay is the environment and a team of passionate guides are on hand to host guided snorkelling, kayak expeditions and gorge walks in the Ranges. At extra cost are swimming with whale sharks (April to July) and humpback whales (August to October) marine adventures. At night, stare up at the Milky Way and a canopy of stars stretching across the southern night skies.
The tariff is inclusive of accommodation, all meals and beverages from a select open bar, use of snorkel equipment, kayaks, standup-paddle-boards and guided activities. Airport transfers can be arranged at an additional cost.

Each has an en suite bathroom with an eco-friendly composting loo and a solar hot water shower. In order to protect our pristine Cape Range and Ningaloo Reef surrounds we restrict the use of fresh water in the bathroom to 20 liters per person per day. This is enough for a quick shower and shampoo provided it is well managed. Our guests often comment that such a little water goes a surprisingly long way.
