Carana Beach Hotel

We stayed here on our second week in the Seychelles. Thr rooms are modern and very comfortable (we never turned the TV on!). The beach is lovely but the waves can be a little frisky. There are plenty of beds around the pool and along the front and the bar makes great coctails with the local rum. We hired a car with driver through the hotel for a day (shout out to Kenneth our driver) and it was well worth it. ending up at the Takamaka distillery for a tasting. The astmospehere is very relaxed with a little more buzz than the Praslin. Breakfast was amazing and dinner was interesting and eclectic. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. We went for massages at the spa which were excellent. my spine felt rejuvinated. Very nice hotel. And the cat is a star.

Our stay at Carana Beach was perfect from start to finish. We were there from the 10th to the 15th of November, and everything exceeded our expectations. The location is truly stunning. We booked a room without a private pool because we felt that, if we wanted to swim, we could simply use the main pool — and we preferred being right next to the beach. The beach itself is beautiful. The waves can be high at times, but when the sea is calm it’s a wonderful spot for bathing and snorkeling. On our last night, we even saw dolphins from the pool, which was absolutely amazing! The villas are spacious, modern, and very clean, offering a gorgeous view of the ocean. Every day you receive two complimentary bottles of water and a refill of the Nespresso capsules. The room is equipped with a Nespresso machine and a water boiler, which we really appreciated. The service was friendly and attentive. We found it especially nice that even the chef and the hotel director came by to speak with us and ask if we were enjoying our stay. Speaking of the chef — congratulations, because the food was excellent: fresh, varied, and beautifully presented. We particularly loved the Creole Night tuna salad. The atmosphere throughout the hotel is wonderfully relaxed. It’s incredibly easy to unwind, and if you’re in a laid-back mood like we were, it’s the perfect place to read a book, take a swim, and simply enjoy the moment. Highly recommended!

Paradise is real! The Seychelles is a truly breathtaking place and the main island Mahe is the capital and therefore somewhat more commercial. In the north of Mahe lies Carana Beach Hotel - a beautiful boutique resort that offers a more tranquil, luxurious and relaxing stay. Carana location means it’s a little out of the way from the busy areas and therefore offers a more secluded and quieter stay whilst being within easy reach of Victoria and the marina for bit excursions etc.||The pool villa is stunning! A Large room with impressive bathroom and a huge terrace with a private pool - what more would you want?! The gardens and grounds are incredibly well|Maintained with beauty everywhere you turn. Carana has its own private beach which at high tide looks postcard perfect. At low tide you can wander a little further and explore the huge granite boulders on the beach which are signature features of the Seychellois landscape and a photographers dream backdrop! ||The staff at Carana beach are some of the best staff we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. There are so many lovely staff members that would stop to say good morning with a huge friendly smile - this made us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. We met the talented head chef Marcus and his sous chef most evenings as they would often come out to chat with the guests. The evening meals were mostly 4 course and some of the finest food we’ve ever had the pleasure of eating! ||We were lucky enough to have our wedding ceremony at carana beach and the whole event was organised by the incredible guest relations manager Mercia, who couldn’t have been more helpful. She really did look after us so well and was an exceptional standout member of the team as well as a witness to our beautiful wedding ceremony held on the beach. ||This really was a magical stay in the most beautiful hotel ran by an incredible team in a part of the world that felt like paradise - we did lots of excursions on and off the island and really got to see the Seychelles for its unique and awe inspiring beauty. ||Thank you Carana beach!

This is a well run and super nice boutique hotel a location that is close to paradise. ||The rooms are modern and very spacious with a large comfortable bed. Shower is good, but not fantastic. The hotel however will fix this and their respons was professional. But let me continue regarding the room: outside there is a seating area with plenty of shade, a daybed and a table. ||The pool area is wonderfull and the sun beds are very comfortable. They serve a nice lunch and the menu is rich. ||Dinner is in one word splendid. If you book half board you don’t have this standard buffet most other hotels offer, but a four course dinner with good options. Staff is amazing and alert. ||If you are looking for a high standard 4 star boutique hotel, don’t look further and book this! Yes it is not 5 star (that we also like) but very charming in its own right. We will go back!

Carana beach is really amazing place. We had so nice welcome and stuff is really frendly. Food is so good, and rooms are clean all the time. Rooms are comfortable. Beach front off the pool was beutiful. We had a great time in Carana beach and we would like to come back again.

We spending our 2 weeks honeymoon here. We highly recommend the hotel. The rooms are super clean and well equiped with a beautiful view. Like in the pictures on the website. The food was delicious. The staff is really friendly and helpful. We are especially thankful for the help with my wife's food allergy. Both the waiters and the chefs helped a lot.

I booked a family dinner for my daughter,s birthday. The experience was amazing starting from the customer service by a lady on the reception name Rania ,she was very nice and helpful. Then we have chef Marcus well known as chef Gato who organised a small family style dinner as it was a creole night. The food and set up was very nice and amazing. Thank you chef Gato and Team and also our waitress Cindy.🙌🙌🙌. The food was very tasty and our small chocolate.❤️❤️

We chose Carana Beach Hotel as our wedding venue, and the setting was truly beautiful—an ideal backdrop for such a special occasion. The staff were consistently accommodating, attentive, and did their best to make everything run smoothly. That said, we did encounter an issue with their steaming service for the wedding dress. It wasn’t handled as well as expected, though the team genuinely tried their best to remediate the situation. Overall, we still had a wonderful experience thanks to the stunning location and the dedication of the staff, but we would recommend that the hotel improve their steaming service for future guests.
