With just 40 rooms, this boutique hotel is an excellent choice for honeymooners and couples seeking an intimate and secluded retreat. The white sand beach is sheer picture-postcard perfection, and the locally inspired accommodation and cuisine give the hotel an authentic Seychellois flavour.

25 minute drive from the airport.  

On the north coast of Mahé

40 spacious chalets are decorated in a light and contemporary style, located close to the beach with superb sea views. All have a private terrace with sun loungers, air-conditioning, satellite TV, WiFi, mini bar, in-room safe and tea/coffee making facilities. For an extra dose of luxury, we recommend upgrading to one of the Oceanview Pool Chalets, which also have a Nespresso machine and private plunge pool looking out over the ocean.

The menus at CaranaBeach are inspired by and enriched with ingredients from the hotel’s own family-owned farm, providing an authentic taste of the Seychelles. The main restaurant, Lorizon, is open for buffet breakfast and à la carte dinner, while the laid back CaranaBeach Bar serves lunch and a great all-day-dining menu, which includes delicious Creole-influenced tapas dishes.  

Relaxation is central to a stay at CaranaBeach, with private cabanas dotted along the beautiful beach and an oceanfront swimming pool with fantastic sea views. There is also a sublime spa and wellness centre offering a range of revitalising treatments, and activities including diving, deep sea fishing and island excursions can be arranged for an additional charge.
