The Swaswara is located about 2 ½ hours drive from Goa and is owned by the Casino Group of hotels who are among the leading hoteliers in Kerala.

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.

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.

A 20 minute boat ride from Om leads to a number of other beaches. Some of these bear romantic names (Half-moon Beach, Paradise Beach), most are isolated and at some, just deserted without a single soul at all.
