Resorts In Gokarna: Our Favourite Places To Check Into For A Beach Holiday

This charming resort and spa is a great option for a slice of luxury but with the beachside rustic atmosphere retained. We love that the cottages and rooms (beach or garden view) are quite far apart, so you’re assured privacy. Plus, it is a great opportunity to soak in the seaside air. Diving, jet skiing and even the entertaining banana boat rides are on offer at this one.

We’ve already shared our love for this cutesy place here and we’re still fans! From just lurking around in the gardens with a book or beer to traipsing down to the beachside for some water fun, this one’s absolute bang for the buck. There are 12 tiled cottages in total, though some are newer than others, so pick wisely. What wins this place's brownie points from us is the Ayurveda spa which has great service but won’t burn a hole in your pocket.

SwaSwara is a fabulous option if you are looking to splurge. Ideal for the soul-searching and yoga-focused traveller, the entire concept here is wellness, from the food (made following Yoga, Naturopathy, and Ayurveda principles) to the wonderful yoga shalas. We fell for the art studio where you can indulge in pottery or painting – to let out stress, you see. Quite a retreat, the Konkan cottages too blend tradition and luxury. Think brick walls, outdoor showers, and yoga decks. We believe that this is where we might find Nirvana, completely possible in the swimming pool.

Smack on the beach, rustic, with pool tables and plenty of fresh air, Kudle Ocean Front is just how we like it. The multiple cottages are lined up just off the coast, and with coconut trees looming overhead, we’re just happy to sit on the little patio of our rooms with a beer in hand. There’s also an Ayurvedic spa in-house if you want to unwind in style. Plus, hammocks dotting the open space — what more do you need, eh?

The luxury boutique hotel is nestled near Paradise Beach and is for those looking to really splurge and have a relaxing weekend by the beachside. There are suites and rooms available for you to check into and we love the fact that Paradise and Half Moon beaches are a hop, skip, and jump away from the property. Don't miss out on the activities organised by the hotel which includes the Gokarna town tour and sundowners. They also have a pool and cooking classes that you can sign up for.

Red Earth is perched on a cliff and the views from there are beautiful. We love that because of the scenic location, yoga at sunrise is definitely a thing as there are one too many guests who will be doing that outside. Plus, they also offer yoga and wellness packages. Because the property is located near Gokarna and Ankola, it's a great way to explore these places as well.
