Set by its own picturesque beach on the northern tip of Mahé, the boutique Carana Beach hotel is a blend of modern twists on traditional Seychelles architecture combined with a contemporary, chic feel. Supported by the owner's culture of genuine Seychellois hospitality, it provides the perfect ambience if you are looking to unwind and relax on your Seychelles holiday and is a definite honeymoon favourite.
Designed to accentuate the Seychelles environment, all chalets are ocean-facing and framed by lush gardens and giant granite boulders; some also have their own plunge pool and direct beach access. Although not protected by a reef, swimming is possible from the beach while the lovely main pool has a stunning beachfront setting. For a wider selection of water sports, Mahe's longest beach, Beau Vallon, is just 5 miles away. The hotel has a small spa with an excellent selection of treatments. Carana Beach is also a great choice for a Seychelles island-hopping holiday, particularly if combined with exquisite Denis Private Island.
