Polarity.
Water is a polar molecule (has a partial positive end and a partial negative end). Its polar molecules form ion–dipole attractions (hydration shells) around Na+ and Cl− ions, pulling them out of the ionic lattice and keeping them in solution. Density is irrelevant here, and "attraction" is too vague—polarity is the specific property.
