SwaSwara, Om Beach, Gokarna, India
Tranquil holistic retreat three hours from the bustling beaches of Goa
WEXAS spa collection
Lying on a cliff top overlooking Om beach, just outside the seaside village of Gokarna, SwaSwara (derived from the Sanskrit for ‘sound of the self’) is set among 26 acres of rolling hills and gardens and a tranquil lake. An abundance of flowers, shrubs and spices fill the resort with their scents, verdant lawns are lined with coconut palms, and a vegetable garden and paddy fields provide food for the kitchen.
The 24 self-contained, air-conditioned villas, built in the local Konkan style, reflect the colours of the surrounding earth and forest. Each bedroom has its own small garden and yoga deck, and you can sample a wide variety of massages and treatments at the Ayurvedic centre.
Fresh fish and seafood dominate the kitchen, with an ever-changing menu based on seasonal local vegetables and the catch of the day, washed down with fresh fruit juice or Indian wine.
Aside from Om, the beautiful beaches of Kudle, Half Moon, Paradise and Sunset are a short boat ride away. The temple and beach at Gokarna make for a fascinating day excursion, and while the emphasis here is on mind-and-body relaxation, other activities include pottery and painting instruction with resident artists, mountain biking, trekking, bird watching, archery, beach combing, and cookery courses in SwaSwara’s interactive open kitchen.
WIth a ratio of 90 staff to 24 rooms, attentive service and every comfort is guaranteed.
