Carana Beach Hotel is a luxurious, boutique property set on one of Mahé’s most beautiful bays. The hotel is situated on the northern tip of the island with stunning ocean views and a laid back, beach house atmosphere. Exuding authentic Seychelles charm, this hotel has been designed in harmony with its natural environment.
Accommodation at Carana Beach is made up of individual chalets, ideally suited to both couples and families. All chalets are just a few steps from the beach and are designed to combine the modern comforts you would expect from a luxury hotel with rustic touches inspired by its surroundings.
The menus at Carana Beach are inspired and enriched by ingredients from the hotel’s own farm and aim to provide an authentic taste of the Seychelles. We love the atmosphere at the Beach Bar, where locals and guests alike can enjoy light bites and colourful cocktails during the day. Lorizon Restaurant meanwhile offers panoramic ocean views from its first floor setting.
Carana Beach Hotel works well for a longer stay or as part of an island hopping itinerary. It is the perfect destination for guests looking for somewhere quiet to relax and enjoy some authentic Creole hospitality. Days can be spent lounging by the beachfront swimming pool, and for a touch of indulgence, why not head to the Sens Spa, where each treatment is infused with a unique signature scent native to the islands.
I’ve visited Carana twice now and loved it both times. The rooms are contemporary and really well equipped, and the ones with pools aren’t that much more expensive so worth the extra, if you book early! Food in the restaurant is amazing and the Tuna Niçoise is not to be missed.
All 40 spacious chalets are decorated in a light and contemporary style and located close to the beach with stunning sea views. All chalets have air conditioning and ceiling fan, satellite television, mini fridge, Wi-Fi, Nespresso machine and kettle, in-room safe and hairdryer.
