We stayed at Swaswara in May which is a low season due to which there were very few rooms occupied. But the place is just fantastic. The moment you enter your room it takes you aback. You have your own courtyard with a beautiful lawn and private spaces. A private yoga room on the first floor allows you to do... More

Beautiful architecture that reminds you of a floating kerela house boat. It uplifts you inside and outside with its theme of cleansing the body mind and soul. Food thats marry's the theme in every way full of flavour . So self contained yet very expansive . A perfect place to unwind forever...... More

had the chance to stay there for 5 nights in May. I just loved the space and the clean beach. I liked the fusion food, which is not typically Indian. For me it was the lightest Indian Cuisine ever eaten in India. Having lived for 16 years jn India this should mean something! Would just to go there again, meditate,... More

We stayed for 6 nights at the Swaswara Hotel in Gokarna. We wouldnt go again. Here's why: Whats good: - The houses overviewing the water are REALLY nice. You have a lot of privacy. The rooms are clean and tidy. Every evening they "smoke" out the houses because of the mosquitos and prepare the beddings. If you like quietness and... More

Not too many properties deserve the tag of being destinations in themselves, but Swaswara in Gokarna, Karnataka does. A CGH Earth resort, it sets standards in hotel design and service. Of course, being set against the beautiful Om Beach on the foothills of the Western Ghats only adds to it attractiveness. SwaSwara means the inner voice of the self and,... More

We spent 6 days in this hotel and were looking forward to going home. First at all I would like to mention, that we have travelled a lot in different parts of India and we have stayed in lovely CGH Earth Experience hotels before (in Spicy Village and Marari Beach) . This year we decided to stay in some hotel... More

I spent two weeks at SwaSwara in October of this year. Having never been away by myself before, and having never been as far from home as India, I was terrified before I went, but it turned out to be the best thing I ever did! SwaSwara is a wonderful place – the villas are so beautiful, luxurious and spacious,... More

I went here with my wife who loves yoga, meditation, ayerveda, etc. This review is written from my perspective, a guy in his 30's who doesn't really go in for that, but enjoys massages and chilling out. The resort is very beautiful and our villa was huge with inside and outside parts to it. There is a lovely pool where... More
