After a day of complete relaxation and continuing my Goa holidays with ‘Pinnacle Holiday Homes’, I was on the move again. This time heading to a happening destination on Bogmalo beach. For my fun stay at SWINg! By The Bay.
Goa has a rich heritage of locally produced spirits & one of Asia’s top award-winning mixologist has created a signature menu that showcases #GoaInaGlass, an awesome range of cocktails. Travelers can experience Goa’s best liquors & liqueurs with delicious recipes that use Madam rosa, Desmondji, Cabo & more. And I was so happy to be right there next to this exciting den of mine for the next two days, which promised to offer all of this and so much more.
Located five kilometers from Goa Airport, SWINg! By The Bay is a cozy guesthouse managed by a dedicated team of professionals. It has four well appointed spacious rooms with a balcony and is situated around hundred meters from Bogmalo beach. Some of the rooms offer a partial view of the sea and others a lovely view of Bogmalo village. SWINg! houses a 50-seater bar & bistro, serving traditional Malabari cuisine from Kerala & an American menu to choose from. Come let’s move to our room through the restaurant.
This place does not offer breakfast but there are few options just a few minutes walk away, near the beach. After settling down in my room and a self made coffee later, I was down in the restaurant for my lunch. And I chose an American menu of a Chicken burger with fries and this lovely cocktail.
Then it was time to head towards the beach as it was nearing early evening.
Bogmalo is a small beach-side village in Goa. Despite its small size, Bogmalo has a range of accommodation and places to eat. It is situated in a small bay, with around a mile of curving sandy beach, which is generally very quiet and deserted. It benefits from some beautiful sunsets.
Come let’s experience the sunset from one of the beachfront bar/restaurants with a cold bottle of Kingfisher beer, the symbol of Goa in hand. I am loving it and am sure you would love it too.
I was back to my room to spend some relaxing moments till it was time for dinner. This time it had to be a choice for me from the vast options from the Kerala cuisine menu. It took be back years, to the days I used to visit Kochi, then known as Cochin, for my professional work. I chose this Kerala dish for the night.
Next morning I got up early to head towards the beach and spend some relaxing time in the sea followed by my breakfast in a small restaurant. There are a few other shops too in the village center near the beach selling souvenirs, beach wear, sun cream, cigarettes, snacks and some basic groceries in addition to the shack restaurants on the beach. Come let’s enjoy the morning and the dip.
After a relaxing morning I ventured out to meet a friend in Saligao who owns the best villas spread across Goa. It was a lovely afternoon spent over an equally wonderful lunch with him. More about these properties later as I head back to Bogmalo to spend the evening catching up with another friend I made during this trip. And the one who co-owns this jivey place, SWINg! By The Bay.
As I go down to the restaurant after freshening up to meet Mohit, have a look at this beautifully done up place.
It was a wonderful evening spent with Mohit over a few drinks. Knowing more about him, his wife Arshi who co-owns the place, their family and the thought behind the cuisine that they decided to offer, when they launched this Bistro. And my dinner? Here it is.
Looks and sounds exciting? Well I can vouch for some great time that you can have with your family. Mohit & Arshi have some exciting plans for the near future. They are soon starting a brand new SWINg! By The Bay in another exciting location. To spend an unforgettable holiday in Goa coupled with gastronomical delight, do get in touch with them.

Goa. My holiday goes on and on because this seaside destination is so very special.
SWINg! By The Bay. This happening place surely is so very different.
Check out their new location before you go. PIN it for later
Great post!! I have never stayed with this one before and all the places I stayed in Goa were below average even though they looked great over the internet. I would love to book it for my next Goa trip soon.
I have travelled to Goa a few time and there are some beautiful small places to eat and stay I must admit and this one seems to be just the right one. It good to know it not far from the airport and is five kilometers from Goa Airport. The accommodation does look cosy and all you would need to make it a good holiday in Goa. Would surely keep this lace in my mind when booking a place next time in Goa. thanks for sharing
The seaside views here were absolutely beautiful. I could see myself travelling just to enjoy that on a regular basis. That being said, when you also incorporate delicious food and good drinks, you can’t go wrong! It sounds like an incredible getaway – an escape from the craziness and stress of our fast-paced society. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure Britt.
Have been to goa couple of times before but never made it to Bogmola beach. It looks so beautiful and how cool is the SWINg service?? Am not much into bars but would definitely love a place with beautiful ocean views. Thanks for sharing this wonderful post
Wow! It looks like you had an amazing time! I can’t even imagine living a life of travel and fun like you guys do but I’m so glad that you share your experiences so freely online so that we can experience these amazing destinations, too! It looks beautiful!
Thank you Alexandra. My pleasure taking you along to these destinations.
I haven’t visited Goa but it’s definitely on my bucket list. The room at SWINg by the Bay looks lovely. I love rooms with large windows and balcony, so this place would be ideal for me. Their Chicken burger with fries look so yummy, and Goa in a glass would be my cocktail to go.
SWINg by the Bay looks like a lovely place – the views, the rooms and the amazing food, all look superb! I’ll keep the place in mind the next time I plan a trip to Goa.
Sounds like a great time. And the views are amazing!
I can see how you had an enjoyable time. The resort looks amazing.
SWINg by the Bay looks like an awesome place to stay with amazing food. Again always impressed with how many photos you share.
Thanks Matt.
I never knew there were so many exciting things to do in Goa, I’ll have to do more research and look at visiting
Goa has been on my list of places to go to for a while now! I cant wait to tick some of these great things to do here off my list!!
