About Our Name

The Meaning of Salus

The Meaning of Salus

Plaas: Our Foundation

Plaas: Our Foundation

Salus: Health, Well-being, and Safety

The name 'Salus' originates from Latin, meaning 'health, well-being, and safety.' This embodies the core aspirations of our community, reflecting our commitment to creating a secure and thriving environment for all residents. We believe in fostering a lifestyle where physical, emotional, and communal well-being are paramount.
