One of the few remaining artisanal salt producers in Lebanon, Sleiman Salinas was built in the 1940s on flats of 3500m2 on the seashore of Anfeh village.

Producing handmade Fleur de Sel and other salt products, Sleiman Salinas is also committed to the preservation of Anfeh’s ecosystem, and operates fully on green energy, using solar power and traditional wind pumps built in the 1950s. Using the same traditional production methods as their ancestors, salt producers at Sleiman Salinas also believe in preserving this rich cultural heritage.

The salinas currently produces between 45 to 55 tons of salt per season. The harvesting is practical only in warm climates where the evaporation rate exceeds the precipitation rate. The Fleur De Sel are hand- harvested and is collected from the top of salt ponds. It is white, crispy, and flaky which is often used as a “finishing” salt to flavor foods right before eating

In 2022, Sleiman Salinas launched its brand EVAURA for traditional authentic salt products from Anfeh. The product is rich in nutrients and minerals.

Several activities are organized such as free of charge educational tours for schools and families, relaxing meditation days and natural spa with an amazing sunset view, to strengthen the immune system and create memories. You can also enjoy diving lessons with professional licensed trainer upon request.

Established in the 1930s and located on the beautiful coast of Anfeh, Imad Malek Salinas is all about preserving the natural salt treasures of Anfeh and creating sustainable and artisanal premium sea salt products.

The salinas are specialized in producing several types of salt including the coarse salt and Fleur de Sel (also known as “White Gold”), all collected naturally from the sea using traditional tools and under specific weather conditions.

The salinas currently produce between 20 to 25 tons of salt per season, all harvested using traditional methods through solar evaporation, the oldest technique for salt extraction. The process is labor-intensive and salt is harvested by hand to yield a white, crispy, and flaky sea salt.

Today, the salinas have expanded its production by introducing different products such as seaweed pickles, which perfectly accompanies all seafood and fish dishes.

We offer an unforgettable tour around our salinas for anyone looking to experience the traditional art of salt harvest and explore the region of Anfeh. Our visitors also get to savor our fresh catch of the day and a variety of delicious seafood, all while enjoying the beautiful sea view.

Built more than 80 years ago on the beautiful shores of Anfeh, it’s one of the few salinas that remain operational today. A family business passed down through generations to preserve Anfeh’s heritage and maintain traditional salt harvesting methods.

The salinas are specialized in producing artisanal Fleur de Sel (known as “White Gold”), famous for being rich in essential minerals and soft texture, both preserved when the salt is harvested by hand. There are several factors which also contribute to the high-end quality of Anfeh salt including weather conditions, purity of water, the unique structures of the antique salt ponds, and finally meticulous extraction methods.

The salinas currently produces between 25 to 30 tons of salt per season. The whole production process starting with the stabilization of water, evaporation, concentration, until harvesting, is done using traditional tools and human power.

We recently launched the production of fertilizers for plants and trees from collected algae. It’s an organic product, rich in nutrients, which promotes the growth of roots for plants and trees.
