A global benchmark on sustainable wellness resort

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 Mar 2024
Clean, green, healthy in an impressive way to create a memorable experience. The place is set in pristine and well kept nature, service is attentive and with a big smile, the treatments take you to cloud 7, and food is homegrown in an organic garden.
What impressed me the most is the how sustainable the place is, harvesting rain water in a very sophisticated way and being completely independent from outside sources. A visionary, yet very practical project. Congratulations.

    The wonderful experience of staying at Swaswara will stay with us for a very long time. My wife and I agreed that we had never before stayed at somewhere so captivating, beautiful and relaxing. The whole site has been planned with so much thought, combining beauty with sustainability.
    We particularly loved the activities, especially the yoga and the massage treatments. But the one thing that really impressed was the wonderful staff— so helpful and genuinely friendly. We do hope that one day we shall return !

    Swaswara CGH has only 22 villas, with each villa being almost 800 sq ft in size. Their theme is wellness, and the primary audience is Western expatriates. The service at the hotel is exceptional, and all staff - front office, housekeeping, wellness centre, activities centre, swimming pool, waiters & gardeners are super helpful and obliging. They all take ownership and pride in serving the guests 😊👍

    Room tip: If you're a leisure traveller, then this property might not fit your requirement. It is ideal for people looking for wellness services.

    I can't think of a better way to start a new year. I just returned home after doing the Ayurveda Rejuvenation program for 10 days and I feel great. No wonder there are so many repeat visitors.
    Everything about my stay was perfect. My casita, which is identical to all the others, was comfortable and well equipped with a lovely view to the rain water reservoir. The treatments, chosen for me by the doctor, were varied and relaxing. Not your basic massage! The meals on the special Ayurvedic diet were always changing and delicious. Most everything on the menu is harvested from the propery's organic garden. (I didn't know what I had been missing until I had the regular food on my last night. It was even tastier.) There are different levels of yoga and my simple classes were perfect.
    The people who work at Swaswara were all so lovely and kind and the guests were very friendly.
    The location, just a little trail walk through the property to Om Beach, is heaven. It's much more beautiful in person than in photos.

    We were family of 3 on a road trip from Mumbai to Belgaum- Sringeri and reached Swa swara at night. Warm welcome by staff and thanks to Ms Tejashree to explain the activities available in resort. We checked into Konkan villa B6. Its a a beautiful villa and captures the rural ambience so well. However my wife and son became extremely sick with the long travel and just took rest for the 2 days. So we couldn’t really enjoy the facilities of this wonderful resort . Many thanks to Peter for giving ORS satchets and to chef for preparing curd rice and also the fruit baskets . My family recovered fast and fit to travel back to Mumbai. Such a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. 27 acres of pure greenery.Entire staff is so courteous and friendly. thanks to the wonderful staff and also the peaceful atmosphere that allowed complete rest to family . We will definitely come next time and enjoy staying in Swa Swara and do sightseeing in Gokarna.

    Many thanks to team for the good care.

    My mother and I had an amazing 2 night stay at Swaswara resort. This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.. surrounded by lush trees and water and short walk to a very clean private beach Favilities for yoga, Ayurvedic treatments and meditation. Special mention to yoga instructor Mithun Krishna, who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Food was healthy and very tasty. My birthday was on a day we stayed there.. staff made me a cake snd a card. Felt like we were staying with family. Will definitely be back for a treatment package trip next year

    Room tip: Need to be prepared for a stay as close to nature as possible
