Accomodation:
As we've said, there are just 27 villa style accommodations at SwaSwara. Each Villa, (and for that matter, the rest of the resort as well) is inspired by the traditional family estates that dot the Konkan coast, and if we've added aircon and modern fittings, they do little to disturb the authenticity of your experiences here. Natural materials are used throughout, most of them sourced locally from the artisans of the area.
The centerpiece of SwaSwara is the blue meditation dome, at the head of the swimming pool.Its circular form and blue tiles form a mandala ( or cosmic sphere ) of harmony, echoing the temple architecture of nearby Gokarna.
The Cuisine of Swaswara:
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.
We avoid meats, concentrating on the fresh catch of local shellfish and seafish.
Fresh produce from the farms surrounding Swaswara provides the accompaniment. Hard liquor is avoided. Instead, we serve up a selection of fine wines, both imported and local (we highly recommend you try a few of the latter, specially the reds).
Yoga and Meditation:
At Swaswara, you can expect personalized attention from Yoga experts belonging to several major schools.
If you're new to Yoga, you can just sample a bit of it all, practising as the mood takes you.
For more serious Yoga lovers, as also for people with specific ailments, SwaSwara offers a whole range of options. If you like, we'll create a therapy program just for you, complete with Yoga postures and Pranayama (breath excercises), meditations, diet and Ayurvedic massage.
