Phuket yoga retreat for 8 days to rejuvenate in Karon.

The aircon made some loud noise because it was a bit outdated. Some of the reception staff had limited English knowledge, which made it difficult to communicate and make arrangements, especially for the timings of the beach shuttle and other activities. I absolutely loved my time at CC’s Hideaway, where I spent just under 2 weeks. The daily program was so rich and it was great to be able to choose an option that suits your needs. The activities offered a great balance between adventure and wellness, while still allowing time for personal activities. The Thai massage was absolutely excellent. The food was very delicious, fresh, and diverse. The restaurant, bar, and spa staff were always very helpful and friendly. I was lucky enough to meet an amazing group of people at CC’s that I don’t think I would have met elsewhere. My stay at CC’s was truly enjoyable and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to recharge their batteries while staying active.

We only encountered confusion with language and scheduling as our challenge.

They announced 5 days and 4 nights, but it’s actually 3 days and 4 nights, with a yoga class on Day 1 and Day 5. The activities only happen on the 3 middle days. They take great care of the participants.

They don’t have name tags for the airport transfer; the rooms are small with bad sound insulation; the food doesn’t taste good and there aren’t many breakfast options; the shuttle service doesn’t run frequently enough. They offer various activities, healthy smoothies, and shuttle bus services. You can communicate with them through WhatsApp for the airport transfer.

It’s not easy to run to the shops and get back in time for some of the yoga classes because of the trip timings. But it’s really nice to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Overall, the trip was fantastic. The staff were helpful and the food was amazing. The yoga classes and trips were a blast!

I found some yoga classes moving too fast and too advanced for me as a beginner, and some instructors not offering enough feedback on our poses to ensure we were doing them correctly. The food and service at the studio were excellent, thanks to Cristina, the caring manager. Sarah, the yoga instructor, was incredible by giving detailed instructions that really helped me get into the right positions with my yoga poses. This was super helpful, especially as a beginner.

All the Yoga teachers impressed me with their helpfulness and strong grasp of the fundamentals. Despite being 200 hour YTT certified, I was still able to learn a lot from them.
During the beach yoga session, Nuya personally guided everyone through headstand and/or scorpion positions, and I witnessed a couple of students achieving these challenging poses for the first time. It was truly inspiring.
In addition to the excellent yoga sessions, other activities such as hiking, reiki, and massages were all top-notch. The food was delicious, and the chef and staff were all friendly and welcoming.
One of the great things about this retreat is the variety of activities offered each day, allowing you to customize your schedule based on your interests. Alternatively, you can simply relax with a massage or enjoy the beach.
While the facility isn’t right on the beach, there are convenient hourly shuttles available to take you to nearby beaches and attractions.

I wish there were more vegetarian options available. Sometimes they would serve food slowly, or they’d give food to others before you. I got to enjoy a four-day yoga retreat, completely immersing myself in it. Nestled in the mountains and jungle, it provided a perfect mix of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The retreat wasn’t just a great vacation – it was an eye-opening experience that really stuck with me.

Hot water takes forever to heat up, so the shower basin overflows before it gets hot. The vegan food options are extremely limited. Alonso, the phenomenal yoga instructor, was a highlight. The location is fantastic. I had hoped to do the cooking class, but it was cancelled due to the instructor being on vacation. Instead, I ended up doing a big Buddha tour, which was okay but not what I had in mind. I was also disappointed by the elephant sanctuary experience. I expected to interact with the elephants, like bathing them, but it felt more like a walk through an elephant zoo. It cost extra, which made it even more disappointing.

I wish the shuffle bus would run more often, maybe a few times per hour instead of just once per hour. Every single staff member at the hotel was so lovely and helpful. My retreat with CC Hideaway exceeded my expectations – and I’m thrilled I had the courage to take a solo trip. The yoga classes, activities, and everything else were well organized. The location is perfect for anyone seeking a calm and peaceful place to stay.

The food tastes amazing, the activities are so much fun, and Alonso is an excellent teacher!

The loud air-conditioning, dirty rooms, and unprepared front desk staff made it hard to enjoy the hotel accommodations. The yoga classes and tours were great, but the hotel services fell short. The exterior machines of the air-conditioning were right outside the bedroom, which made sleeping difficult. The room and bathroom were dirty upon arrival, and housekeeping only tidied up the bed. The restaurant staff, on the other hand, was lovely and helpful. The yoga instructors were amazing. Overall, it was a great retreat in a disappointing hotel.

A fantastic hotel nestled in the mountains with stunning views of the Andaman Sea offers a range of affordable packages. Solo travelers, couples, and families will all love it. There are plenty of activities like yoga, hiking, sound healing, acupuncture, and adventure tours to choose from.

I absolutely loved my cozy suite with a comfortable bed, delicious meals and juices, and tons of massages. CC’s made it easy to get to the beaches, restaurants, and shops. You can plan a peaceful and meditative retreat or go on exciting hikes, kayaking, or elephant adventures with Nim.

The best part of my vacation was definitely the staff – they were amazing! I wish I could take all of them home with me.

They didn’t tell us about the extra cost for the sound healing before we did it. They included everything else in the package or let us know in advance if there were any additional charges. Everything was great, except for the hidden charge for the sound healing. The staff were friendly, the food was plentiful and healthy, with plenty of options for my picky eating habits. The place looks even better in person than in the photos. The excursions were so much fun! I just wish we could have stayed for 2 weeks instead of just 1, so we wouldn’t have missed out on some of the activities. We definitely plan to return and are grateful for such a nearly perfect retreat. Even my husband, who usually isn’t into retreats, thoroughly enjoyed it and wants to come back.

This retreat completely healed me. I enjoyed yoga classes with incredible sunrise and sunset views, lots of activities in nature, met amazing people, and savored healthy food. I made sure to take advantage of the sound healing and reiki services, and I came back feeling super energetic.

The hotel needs some upkeep because it looks a bit worn. The reception staff could be more service-minded. There isn’t much happening at the hotel at night and the shuttle stops running at 9pm. It’s a great hotel for solo travelers because it’s super social. The excursions and yoga classes bring people together. Nim and Bond, the tour guides, are warm and engaging. They make sure you have a great experience and share tons of pictures with you right away. The bare and kitchen staff are really sweet.

The staff showed us all the options for excursions, we enjoyed the view from where we did yoga, attended meditation classes, relaxed by the pool, and appreciated being only 10 minutes from the beach. The shuttle service was a lifesaver, getting us to the beach and saving us money on taxi rides every time we wanted to go.

At first, the basic room surprised me, but it was spotlessly clean and the bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. The big balcony overlooking the beautiful pool is fabulous. Everything is just amazing – the people are delightful, the food is sensational, and the yoga is varied and personal. I can’t rate this experience high enough!

CC’s Hideaway felt like a warm hug that lasted 8 days. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. The food was excellent (designed by a nutritionist), there were plenty of activities to choose from each day, and the friendly staff made sure to take care of us with constant smiles, understanding, and helpfulness. The instructors were passionate and the environment was incredibly relaxing (yoga on the terrace with an ocean view was unforgettable).

Just a heads up: if you’re joining the adventure days, make sure to pack properly with tough hiking gear (shoes, clothing, 50 SPF sunscreen, and insect repellent). The hotel is located on a hill, so walking to town might be a bit challenging (but there’s a convenient shuttle service). And if you’re looking for a purely yoga-focused retreat, this might not be the one for you – it’s more of an active vacation where yoga plays a key role (twice daily sessions included, with options to book additional classes like aerial yoga).

I loved everything about it. Everyone was so kind and it felt very familiar. The Yoga instructors were fantastic and gave great instruction. Nim, one of the managers, was absolutely amazing – so funny, friendly, and always had a smile on her face. The activities were super and well organized. The food and juice/smoothies were fantastic too. I loved it all and I’m already looking forward to my next visit to this wonderful hotel! ❤️

Yoga felt too easy, needed more stretching and meditation. It’s great for beginners but not for intermediate or advanced levels… just too easy. The AC was okay. You had to keep the key card in the slot for electricity, so the room was always hot when you came back. The AC started dripping water heavily in the middle of the night, so I had to shut it off, but they fixed it quickly the next morning. Some food was really good, but some not so much. I heard they recently changed their menu under new management and were going for a more international selection; might have been better before according to repeat customers. The waffles had some green herb mixed in the batter, which was weird. The sausages were more like cocktail wieners. The Thai food was good though. The shower drain didn’t work well, and I let them know but it wasn’t fixed. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. They responded fast on WhatsApp. I felt well taken care of. And the best massage in the hotel was by Pu.
