CGH Swa Swara

OM Beach, Gokarna, Karnataka
Overview

‘Swa’ in Sanskrit means ‘the self ‘Swara’ refers to ‘sound’. We live, unaware of the inner sound of our being, drowned out by the chores of our daily life. Only when everything else quiets down and we are at peace can we hear it. That's why at SwaSwara shouts of the modern world die down to whispers, providing a serene environment for soul healing.

Gokarna…meaning ‘cows ear’ – this is an ancient village full of lore, a famous Shiva temple, with two main streets lined by shops and traditional tile roofed brick houses. A happy mix of traditional Brahmin communities and a large tourist population that seeks the sun, the sands and the sea enjoy living here.

A little away from Gokarna village, SwaSwara lies on 26 acres of rolling hills and gardens adorned by flowers, shrubs and spices that give each other company on a carpet of green lawns, lined with serene coconut palms. Beyond the lawns is a vegetable garden bursting with the greens of the season and paddy fields that nourish those who stay at SwaSwara.

And within this spiritually enlightened and sensitive environment nestle 24 villas inspired by the homesteads, tradition and craft of the Uttara Kannada region of Karnataka.
