CGH Earth - SwaSwara

My wife and I spent 3 nights at SwaSwara in mid-Nov and had a great stay. Check-in process was smooth and the lady checking us in (forget her name) explained all the amenities and the overall 'lay of the land'. Jayashree (property manager) was very kind and offered to give us a tour of the town. Food was a highlight of the stay - really good and flavorful. Sivakumar and Chandrashekhar was our servers for most meals were very attentive and always available. Cooking classes/demonstration held by chef Sivakumar were excellent and we learned a few dishes, Chef Sivakumar also gave us the printed recipes. He also went above and beyond during each meal and checked in with us to make sure the food was ok. Yoga and meditation classes held by Chandan and Amruta were very good. While we were there SwaSwara inaugurated a Naturopathy center, and we got a consultation with the Naturopathy doctor, Dr. Shweta, which was really good. The one downside was the Ayurveda consultation - we spent about 45 minutes with a lady (the Ayurveda doctor), who diligently took notes, and nothing seemed to come out of it - other that the pre-determined set of 2 massages that were already included in our package (the consultation seemed like a waste of time). The masseuse Mahendra was also very good. Rooms/bungalows were nice with an 'open-air bathroom' so you are likely to find toads and other 'crawlies' at night in your bathroom - so you have to be comfortable with nature. Overall, a great stay and certainly recommended.

SwaSwara is truly an oasis of calm and peace. The serene atmosphere here completely disconnects you from the hustle and bustle of the external world. Whether it’s the meditation sessions, yoga, or other rejuvenating activities, everything is designed to refresh your mind, body, and soul. The staff is incredibly attentive, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The location is stunning, with a beautiful balance of nature and tranquility. Each moment here feels like a retreat into serenity. I can’t wait to visit again – in fact, this is the kind of place where you’ll want to return again and again!

Amazing place for good value. I have been a couple of times on retreats. The rooms are like a little house w a courtyard, outdoor bathroom, upstairs reading room or view room, and air conditioned sleeping room. So cool. The property and the buildings are beautifully made from special local red stone. The food is spectacular. The staff are wonderful and sweet and really care about what they do. Great yoga teachers. On the legendary Om Beach. Check it out for sure it’s top quality. We were there for 10 days and I never saw the same fish served twice. All fresh ingredients. Most grown on site. Special place w high attention to detail.

Now how and where do I start here!!! It’s all experiencing the nature and living peacefully with no rush ! We weren’t prepared and took our 7 year old along only to understand that kids under 15 are not allowed which made sense after our 2 days visit there! The location cannot be any better, just by the Om Beach! If you are looking for a luxury , which is quite an intellectual point to discuss when it comes to this place! Luxury in the definition of Mindfulness is 100% but if you are looking for a luxurious service like the regular 5stars you would be disappointed, so please read the wellness offering here before you plan. Loved the ever smiling staffs and attention to details! Special mention to Mr Nikhil in the restaurant who was quite the smiling face! The art gallery was amazing especially the 2 gentlemen Mathew and Rajasekhar, patient to the core and helped learn a trick or 2! To the management team thank you for the great experience. Note : Go to this place not for a get together or fun but to explore the real you

Peaceful and beautiful property. During our stay, there was a landslide at Gokarna. The staff here was quick to act and were extremely helpful. Really appreciate their effort. Gratitude!

Brilliant resort in a great place. One of the best maintained resorts and the staff there is wonderful. They make your stay so comfortable that any other resort pales in comparison. The food quality is top notch. A special word of mention to Tejashree, Devadutta from the front desk, Shibin and Shivanand from the restaurant, Achutakumar from the ayurveda center who made our stay absolutely brilliant.

Our stay at SwaSwara was nothing short of magical. Located near the Om Beach, the resort offers a serene escape that exists perfectly in balances with nature. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the peaceful ambiance and the incredible attention to detail. The food deserves a special mention—it’s outstanding in every way. Much of it is sourced directly from their own gardens, ensuring freshness and quality in every bite. We were particularly impressed by the self-produced yogurt, which was a delightful addition to our meals. As part of the experience, we even had the chance to learn recipes with the chef, an insightful and interactive activity that was included in the stay. The staff at SwaSwara is truly exceptional. Warm, attentive, and always ready to help, they made us feel like cherished guests. A special mention to our waiter Shiva, whose kindness, professionalism, and genuine care won our hearts. He truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, and we cannot thank him enough. The yoga and meditation sessions were of very good quality. While the entire resort offers numerous beautiful spots, our personal favorite was the hilltop meditation point at sunrise—a breathtaking experience. (A quick tip: don’t forget mosquito repellent!) Another highlight was the art studio, where we tried pottery for the first time. It was a joy to explore our creative side in such an inspiring environment with the very talented artist in residence. Overall, our stay at SwaSwara was an extraordinary experience. Every aspect, from the stunning location and exceptional food to the personalized activities and wonderful staff, exceeded our expectations. Thank you, SwaSwara, thank you Shiva, for an unforgettable stay! See you again soon!

We had the privilege of spending 10 days at SwaSwara, and it was nothing short of transformative. The stunning location, nestled in nature’s tranquility, sets the perfect stage for relaxation and healing. The people here are truly remarkable—kind, attentive, and deeply passionate about what they do. Their care and love resonate in every aspect of the experience. The management’s unique and sustainable concept adds a special touch, combining modern comfort with traditional wisdom in a way that feels genuine and inspiring. Every detail, from the treatments to the cuisine, reflects thoughtfulness and authenticity. SwasSwara is more than just a retreat; it’s a place of profound rejuvenation for the body, mind, and soul. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an extraordinary Ayurvedic experience! 🙏✨
