Hotel Swaswara

  Overview

SwaSwara is the inner voice of the Self, sounded on a fabled beach shaped like an Om. Be watchful, for here, spaces expand and time slows down. Participate, as the mind comes gradually to rest and the practices of yoga and meditation find their fullest expression. At SwaSwara you not only destress but you learn to become truly whole.

Accommodation at SwaSwara consists of 27 self-contained Villas, built in the local Konkan style, but featuring air -conditioning, modern plumbing and most other mod cons that one could expect.

● Restaurant

The food at Swaswara is in keeping with the natural spirit that inspires everything else here. The accent is on the fruits of the land and the sea. And the focus is on freshness, pure and simple. Fresh produce from the farms surrounding Swaswara provides the accompaniment. The cuisine avoids Meats but concentrates instead on the fresh catch of local shellfish and seafish including the local Fresh fish and other seafood, based on seasonal variants and the catch of the day. These are accompanied with fresh produce from the local farms and a growing selection of wines. Hard liquor is avoided. Instead, a selection of fine wines, both imported and local is served.

● Yoga & Meditation

There are, of course, extensive Yoga, Pranayama and meditation facilities, with individual attention from qualified yoga teachers. For more serious Yoga lovers, as also for people with specific ailments, SwaSwara offers a whole range of options. On request the resort will create a therapy program specially customized to individual needs, complete with Yoga postures and Pranayama (breath excercises), meditations, diet and Ayurvedic massage. SwaSwara has an ayurvedic centre with a variety of massages and other therapies. Then there are the charms of Om beach, and a number of other beaches that are a short boat ride away. The temple town of Gokarna and Gokarna beach make for a fascinating day's excursion.

● Ayurveda

SwaSwara's Ayurvedic centre provides a range of treatments, which focus on tension-reducing and rejuvenating massages with medicated oils to release toxins stored in the body fat. Activities and diet will also be recommended according to one's individual 'dosha' or body type. A full 'Panchakarma' treatment, which is basically a total system overhaul, normally requiring a minimum of 10 days, can have dramatically positive effects, mentally and physically. And, as this lucky Mr Smith discovered, if you are going to make the long trip to this idyllic eco-haven, then there can be no better place than SwaSwara to totally immerse into what India does so well, yoga and Ayurveda, in luxury where your conscience, as well as your body, soul and mind, is clean, green and healthy.
