CC's Hideaway

I had the best time
All the tours were extraordinary, organized and planned
It’s the best place to find your trip to match your energy accordingly to how active or relaxed you want to be
The food was great, a lot of different options, and the messages were beyond
All the yoga instructor stuff was amazing, caring and supportive throughout the different sessions

If your idea of a 'retreat' is a hotel around a pool where groups of girls get drunk and sing karaoke in the evening, this is for you.

When making my booking I stipulated I was looking for a calm and quiet place where I could recover.

My expectation, (naturally) was I was booking a wellness retreat designed to promote well-being and a place I could 'retreat' from the stresses of daily life, re-connect with body and mind and recover.

Having spoken to the Manager explaining this wasn't possible when a bunch of girls were singing Sweet Caroline and Dancing Queen like cats being dragged through a hedge backwards, and that I would like to leave as CC's hideaway was 'not as advertised', I was charged two extra nights for the privilege for this 'retreat' experience, even though it was nothing of the sort.

Hence my review.

Recently I went to a hotel and they refunded us the final night as one of our party was ill and we had to leave, which shows you not every hotel is as unkind.

And a hotel is what this is, with activities, massage and yoga bolted on. This does not feel like a calm and relaxing place when you're there at all.

If you want to go on a fun packed holiday around a pool with a load of girls which includes some massage and yoga this would be for you, but this certainly is not a retreat in the true sense, as anyone would understand it. The rooms are dated, and the food is average too and not up to the standard you'd expect for the money you pay.

I only leave negative reviews when I've been treated poorly and feel others should be aware of the pitfalls.

CC is a fabulous place, a stunning oasis with awesome staff, like-minded travellers, lovely yoga and brilliant facilities & excursions. I felt so looked after, the staff really push the boat out to make you feel welcome and settled. Loved my stay and would love to return. Big thanks to all at CC's, including Bam, Puri, Nim, Manee, Chef, yoga teachers and so many more.

Overall, the experience was incredibly well-organized and enriching. From the thoughtfully planned tours and diverse yoga classes to the delicious meals, every aspect was handled with care. I particularly appreciated the professionalism and efficiency of your correspondence from day one, which set a wonderful tone for the retreat.

I also want to commend some of the yoga teachers, who truly embody the spirit of yoga. Their guidance, expertise, and presence in the classes made the sessions deeply rewarding and it was a joy to learn from them.

While my overall experience was positive, I feel it’s important to share a few areas that could be improved. A small number of staff members seemed visibly irritated at times, which slightly impacted the otherwise welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, I was overcharged for room services without receiving a receipt, which was an unexpected inconvenience. Lastly, one of the younger yoga teachers may benefit from further experience and training to ensure the safety of all participants during their classes.

I hope this feedback is helpful as you continue to refine your retreat experiences. I truly appreciate the care and dedication evident in most aspects of the program and would be happy to return in the future.

I can't begin to thank CC's enough for the wonderful stay, they sure know how to treat a guest like royalty! Every one of the staff members went above and beyond to make our stay over the top. A special shout out to Nim, Stephanie and Chef Por, your kindness and compassion will never be forgotten. CC's takes the worry out of planning a perfect vacation. Their friendly driver met us at the airport for a late pick up and the next day we met with sweet Christina who organized all of our activities (many excellent options) and covered all the details about CC's and our activities we chose. The activities were not only well organized, we didn't even have to think about bringing that beach towel, bug spray, rain poncho, water bottle, etc., it was all thought out and provided for us. Coming from the US they knew our taste palate and what we could eat and what we should avoid to keep our digestive system happy. Chef Por's menu is fresh and delicious with a great variety of foods to please anyone. The resort and rooms are well appointed and clean. We loved having a provided water bottle and the ability to fill it at any time at the reception area, we think we probably went through one of the jugs! I'll never forget the beautiful friendships we formed, the fun and laughter we shared during activities, meals, and live music night. Lastly, the beautiful sendoff we received making krathongs (banana boats) to release into the water for the Loy Krathong Festival, we did not plan our trip around that, it was a pleasant added surprise. Thank you, CC’s, our hearts are filled with so much love because of you:)

Wonderful Stay and great people!
I have stayed with CCs for 10 days for the yoga retreat. Booking retreat little I know that there will be much more than the yoga. I can not describe how much joy, peace and happiness those 10 days were.
The food was delicious, always fresh and tasty.
Every day fresh juice or smoothie is amazing to have for the refreshment.
Yoga classes were superb and so enjoyable, teachers are very well experienced and knowledgeable.
For me it was more that staying in 5 star luxury hotel, rooms are clean and very comfy, everyone around from the reception to the drivers knows your name, they making it so personal and so into details that you literally forget everything.
Every day has some activities, wellness programs or tours, and they simply things everything ahead of you.
If it’s rain, here is rain coat, if it’s hot they have cold drab towels, beach day no worries they got everything ready, all you need to do it’s juts to bring yourself and enjoy to the max.
Nim, she is heart of the place, she makes this place very speaking and give her heart to every single interaction and personal connection.
The team at the reception and restaurant team they give you a service from the heart with full comfort and they do it effortlessly.
THANK YOU SO MUCH CCs for delightful stay.
I found here all what I was looking for, sad to leave ….
I travel a lot, I do retreats often but I never was so pleased with my stay like this time.
Well done team!!

First of all I want to thank the whole staff of CC’s Hideaway for everything. From the airport pick up, to the warm welcome. These people are very invested with your program ( if you do one ) and hospitality. I came solo and was very nervous about that ( especially as a women ). But this hotel, the vibes and te packages they offer make you feel at home in no time. There are alot of other solo travels coming to this hotel so you make friends easily:). The hotel is located up a hill close to the big Buda. So If you like a work out, this walk is a must to do! There was a shuttle that you could take every hour to designated meeting points ( like beaches and areas ) this was very convenient! One time they even brought me to the nail salon that I booked ( even though it was not on their list ) so they where very kind. The room was nice! ( the showers take some time to warm up but honestly that’s everywhere in Thailand if you are not in a very expensive 5 star hotel ) so personally I did not mind that. I did have mixed feelings about the price point of the yoga retreat. On one end I thought multiple times during my stay that it was a very nice price for everything you get. But on other moments I felt like the adventure days you could do where not a 100% worth the price. Don't get me wrong I loved going on the adventure trips and i’m happy I did them, but they where not particularly long like you would expect. Other people in the retreat felt the same way. Manee as our guide was very nice though and I loved doing the 4 elements trip with her as a guide.
I really recommend this hotel and retreat if you seek for mental and physical growth. That was the reason I was here and it’s safe to say that with all the treatments they offer they succeed in helping me grow as a person. Thank you so much again for everything 🫶🏻

A Truly Transformative Yoga Retreat in Phuket 🌿

I had an incredible experience at this yoga retreat in Phuket, CC hideaway resort. The program was thoughtfully curated to support both physical and mental well-being. From twice-daily yoga sessions—held either on the rooftop with panoramic views or right on the beach.
There were some daily activity options to cope for your need. I selected 2 outdoor activities including island discovery and Phuket old town visiting and 1 day inhouse detox wellness program. As the typhoon to extend my 2 days stay, I have enjoyed my time in hotel for swimming, Thai massage, book, music and my Zentangle.
The first day was one-day detox program with wellness consultations, healthy and detox meal, abdomen massage, body scrub with ice bath, health Q&A session, which designed to reset human body which was over my expectation.
The outdoor activities were Phuket Old Town visiting with dinner atop the mountain with stunning night views and Islands discovery. The highlight of the Old Town tour was our professional and friendly tour guide bought us some local roadside snacks which was an authentic way to experience Thai culture, amazing. I have tried my durian for the first time! Island discovery day trip -- We have a longtail and rubber boat to explore the beautiful Phuket Islands, picnic in the private beach. It was fun and memorable. CC staff help to take nice pictures!
One of the highlights was the professional Thai massage, which I experienced twice during my stay. The therapists were highly skilled and intuitive, using traditional techniques that helped release deep tension and restore balance. Each session felt therapeutic and deeply relaxing.
The meals throughout the retreat were healthy, delicious, and beautifully presented—perfectly aligned with the wellness journey. The swimming pool was a peaceful spot to relax between sessions, and the overall atmosphere of the resort was serene and inspiring.
Don’t miss the Everyday Yoga practice, the tutor are professional, rooftop yoga venue was cheerful and really relaxing! Morning Beach yoga also a great experience. The most special and memorable one was the evening yoga after the Island discovery day trip, in a wonderful night view setting yoga room. Yoga teacher Amy’s soft voice to guide us to have relaxing and stretching post which helped to release the whole day outdoor trip’s stress and tired. I slept really well that night.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, creating a warm environment throughout. There are so many yoga retreat options in the web to choose. It’s my first yoga retreat, but I picked quick was their prompt and nice response, as well as airport pick up was included that I no need put extra afford to arrange it! CC is a real place for relaxing, feel safe, nothing need to worry during your stay, they arrange everything, you only pick the one you love in a day.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking balance, calm, reset, quiet or make friends were suitable. It’s like a home. It’s not luxury hotel, but obsoletely a comfortable resort and value for money. Enjoy your First Yoga Retreat….it’s the best Choice!

It was nice.

The best place to be in for those searching to unwind from busy schedules. Great location, clean, great service from all staff and lots of varieties to choose from be it relaxation or adventure. Speaking of adventure, the zipline trip with James bond was fantastic and James added to it with his sense of humor and great guiding skills. Always again to CC's. Thank you.

I visited for yoga classes over several days. Thip was my teacher. She was excellent at teaching but also very giving of her time. She explained several poses & gave some extra tuition so I will (eventually) be ready to do them correctly.

After much deliberation and reviewing different options in Thailand, I decided to book at 5-day yoga retreat at CC's Hideaway following a weeklong backpacking trip. What impressed me most was from the moment I booked and had my first communication with CC's, I felt their warm, welcoming hospitality and friendly service beaming through the email and WhatsApp messages. They were incredibly flexible and were happy to arrange to pick me up from the Phuket bus station (whereas most yoga retreats would only offer pickup service from the airport). Even though my arrival was delayed, they were super helpful over WhatsApp with my updates and ensuring their driver was there to greet me at the right time.

Arriving at the hotel itself was a great experience. As I arrived late in the night they asked me to pre-order my dinner and they had it ready for me in my room when I arrived; it's little thoughtful touches like these that really exceed expectations.

I had a great time participating in yoga classes that were suitable for a range of levels, including myself who is an experienced yogi. I really loved the Ashtanga class but also had a great time piling into the shuttle with other guests and going down to the beach for a sunset flow. A highlight was the weekly Muay Thai class that I booked as an add-on-- the trainers were great! As I was only there a short time, I managed to only book one excursion-- the Four Waters tour-- which was a perfect day out.

Then there's the resort itself. Tastefully decorated and comfortable rooms (I miss that bed so much). An open-air restaurant with a delicious breakfast buffet and eggs made to order, the fresh juices and milks were great as well. I happily spent my days lounging by the pool but enjoyed the opportunity to take the free shuttle down into the village. I booked two massages in the spa, which were lovely and fairly priced.

My only regret is not booking longer, and I in fact would have extended my stay if it weren't so expensive to change my flight. Highly recommend for yogis who want to chill but have the option of a bit of luxury and sightseeing. I'll be back again :)

This place is truly exceptional. When I read the reviews I thought it wasn’t possible that it was so good, but it was so amazing.
I absolutely loved all the options of things to do all in the one package, the yoga, the adventures, the wellness days. But above and beyond that the village atmosphere with all the beautiful, caring, smiling, talented staff from reception, restaurant, yoga teachers, masseuses, drivers, tour guides, cleaners… we felt like everyone was so happy for us to be there which made the holidays so special. I wish I knew everyone’s name to mention.
I came here with two teenage daughters and it was a perfect way to have a holiday with them, we could all do our own thing if we wanted to and also meet people from other countries
Oh… and OMG the food!!!!! My kids were posting food pictures every day. Every meal on the extensive menu was sooo delicious.

CC’s absolutely set the bar for me as far as “program” experiences go. I had an AMAZING trip. The food was outstanding, the excursions wonderful, and the yoga instruction amazing (Stefanie!! Thip!! You were so good in your direction and adjustments! 🙏🏻). Customer service was second to none with everyone learning our names and taking such personal care. Kong & Nim were awesome (and hilarious) guides who took great care of us on some truly beautiful experiences. I can’t thank this group enough for making my trip to Thailand so incredibly memorable. I cannot recommend this place more highly.

Nice little hideout away from the mosquitoes and crowds at the beach! I purchased the yoga retreat package so that I don't have to do any planning at all. They take care of you even before I arrived by being in touch through WhatsApp and if you need anything during your stay you can WhatsApp them. Not a yoga enthusiasts but I was amazed by the quality of the yoga classes offered twice a day. The classes accommodate participants of different levels and the teachers are friendly and nice. The tours are organised in small groups and you can tell they are tailored to bring you away from the crowds (or perhaps because it was the low season). Great food at the Prana Eatery with many vegetarian options. (the fresh spring roll is my personal favourite).

I’m so glad I chose this retreat—every moment exceeded my expectations! From the seamless airport pickup to the heartfelt farewell, everything was perfect. It’s rare to find a team where every single member is exceptional, but here, everyone is supportive, attentive, and genuinely kind.
The variety of programs—whether adventurous tours or holistic wellness—made it easy to customize my ideal stay.

The food? Absolutely delicious, with healthy, fresh options (the smoothies are a must!). Yoga sessions were fantastic, with skilled instructors offering personalized adjustments. And dipping into the pool with a post-yoga smoothie? Pure bliss!

The wellness workshop on Holistic Detox & Superfoods was eye-opening. The cleanse drinks, specially prepared meals, and delicious smoothie bowl made the 'easy cleanse day' both educational and enjoyable. As for the spa… OMG—exceptional in every way!

The free daily shuttle was incredibly convenient (complete with a map of drop of points!), and my room was spacious, stylish, and spotless—with breathtaking views no matter where I looked.

A massive thank you to the entire team, with special appreciation for:
- **Bambi**—the heart and soul of the retreat, always radiating joy! She also sings!
- **Tarn & Title (Dede & Dexter)**—so caring during trekking, especially with my knee concerns. Very adorable!
- **Kong (King Kong!)**—hilarious and thoughtful, even lending me a steady shoulder on hikes.
- **Nimy**—the joker of the group, always ready with answers and laughs.
- **Anastasia**—patiently shared so much wisdom on holistic health—truly inspiring!

I’m leaving with new friends and unforgettable memories… I might just have to return before heading home! Great value of money.

On arrival what greets you is the friendly atmosphere. Every one of the staff couldn’t do enough for you. This isn’t a normal yoga retreat but definitely has something for everyone.
Food is amazing too…..
Only one complaint I didn’t stay long enough.

I spent 10 days there, I wish I could have stayed 10 more.
Everything was absolutely perfect, the activities were brilliant, and there's something different (and super cool) to do every day. The team is very friendly, super organised and attentive to your every need. The food was fantastic, and so was the yoga.
All in all I highly recommend it!

CC’s Hideaway is one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had the pleasure to be a part of. From the top notch customer service to the excellent and professional tours provided by hotel staff. My favorite tour was 4 elements guided by James Bond. He was very funny and informative while making you feel like you have been lifelong friends. He took amazing pictures of everyone on the trip. James made my experience one of a kind. Thank you CC’s and everyone involved! I will be coming back here the next time I am in Thailand.

I was going between three solo retreats before finally choosing CC’s Hideaway in Phuket — and I couldn’t be more grateful that I did. Though I had been to Thailand before, I had never been to Phuket. I actually booked this retreat last minute while on my flight there. It was a spontaneous decision, and it turned out to be one of the best I’ve ever made.

I arrived on the day of my birthday, unsure of what to expect, and was greeted with warmth and genuine kindness. The staff even surprised me with a dessert plate and candles when I checked in — a gesture that immediately made me feel at home and seen.

The retreat itself was incredibly well organized. What stood out to me the most was the variety — from cultural tours and beach outings to yoga, sound healing, meditation, detox, Thai food and remedy workshops, and massage options, there was something new to explore every day. Even when rainy weather caused some changes, the team had thoughtful alternatives lined up.

A huge shoutout to James Bond — yes, his name! I was lucky to have him as a guide on two tours, and by the second one, it felt like I was exploring with a friend. He made every moment fun and memorable. Also thank you to Kong, Manee, and Nim for your energy and humor, and to our wonderful drivers Yuan, Sut, Ki, and others who got us around safely and comfortably.

As a beginner to yoga, I appreciated how Amy, Stephanie, and Bambi made every session approachable and fun. Special thanks to Stephanie for helping relieve tension in my lower back — I really felt supported, both physically and emotionally, during our sessions.

Shoutout to Christina, who led my first-ever meditation session. I did a sound healing session with her, and even though my body felt deeply relaxed, I was still caught up in my head. But the way she guided the session made me want to keep practicing and explore more types of meditation. If only I had met her during my first week — I know I would’ve learned so much more. Christina truly opened a door for me, and I’m so thankful for that.

The food was another huge surprise — I expected basic retreat meals but was blown away by the variety and flavors. Thank you to Aur, Fha, Phyo, and the rest of the kitchen staff whose names I didn’t get, for putting so much love into every dish. And shoutout to the efficient and friendly housekeeping staff who kept everything clean and cozy.

I honestly felt like CC’s became a home — not just a retreat. I came here to detox mentally and physically, and I got exactly that — and so much more. I built connections not just with other travelers, but with the staff, too. What I thought might be too long of a stay (two weeks) ended up not being long enough.

This was my first solo retreat, and it reminded me that solo travel isn’t scary — it’s empowering, and it connects you to both locals and fellow international travelers in beautiful ways.

If you’re considering CC’s — don’t hesitate. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned traveler, this place offers a safe space to grow, heal, and connect. Thank you, CC’s Hideaway, for making this such a memorable, healing, and heartfelt experience. I will truly miss you and hope to return one day. 💛
