Carana Beach Hotel

Carana Beach is a small and intimate boutique resort located on the northern coast of Mahé Island in the Seychelles. Set on the shore among giant granite boulders, white powdery beaches and the sparkling Indian Ocean, Carana offers a calm retreat where simplistic and understated design allows the pristine natural surroundings to take centre stage. The beach is just steps from each chalet so you can wake up to aquamarine waters and a fresh sea breeze, and sleep to the gentle sound of waves lapping on the shore. Carana is flanked by tropical forests and colourful gardens, allowing guests privacy and tranquillity.

A relaxed atmosphere and friendly hospitality allows you to totally unwind – spend the morning at the beach or pool, reclining on a day bed and ordering drinks and snacks from the restaurant. In the afternoon retire for a siesta or a massage at the wellness spa. Snorkelling, island hopping trips and day excusions are easily arranged. The largest island within the Seychelles Archipelago, Mahé is just waiting to be explored. Well signposted roads make it easy to hire a car for the day and discover the rich and colourful Creole culture, French-inspired cuisine, secret coves, and the lush Morne Seychellois National Park.
