ACTIVITIES AT CARANA BEACH HOTEL:

With a beautiful beach so close to home, you may well be tempted to spend most of your time relaxing on those white sands and taking refreshing dips in the sparkling ocean.

  • However, there is a lot more to do off the coast of Mahé, not least watersports such as scuba diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, and kite surfing! Sailing and fishing are also possible, with exciting opportunities to explore the waters surrounding other islands in the Seychelles archipelago, including Praslin, La Digue, and Silhouette.
  • For culture fans, Mahé’s capital city Victoria is well worth a visit, where you can check out attractions such as the Clock Tower, the museum, and the bustling market. For more ideas take a look at our blog on the top things to do in Mahe
