Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is a hidden gem on the scenic Om Beach, surrounded by lush tropical greenery and boasting incredible Ayurvedic wellness options. The suites are spacious and elegantly designed, offering a unique experience. While I loved the peaceful atmosphere and the rejuvenating treatments, it's worth noting that the dining options are exclusively vegetarian. Still, the nearby beach shacks provide alternatives and the overall experience was truly delightful.
I had a wonderful time at Swaswara during the monsoon season. The villa was spacious and offered a stunning view of a pond along with a big banyan tree in front. The atmosphere was serene, perfect for relaxation, but the quiet dinner environment could use some soft music for a better dining experience.
This retreat is truly a hidden gem, nestled in nature and offering an enriching wellness experience. The eco-friendly setting with a stunning view of OM Beach is perfect for relaxation. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, making you feel right at home. However, the journey from the airport can be quite exhausting, and the dining experience was inconsistent, with only a few standout meals over a longer stay.

The variety of activities, from yoga to nature walks, is incredibly enriching. However, it might not be ideal for those seeking modern amenities like Wi-Fi and televisions, as the hotel promotes disconnection for relaxation.

It's surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and offers a range of Ayurvedic treatments and wellness programs that truly make a difference. The accommodations are unique and promote a peaceful atmosphere, though the distance from the nearest airport can be a bit of a challenge. The dining experience is fantastic with delicious Indian food, but mainly limited to vegetarian and fish options.
