Retreat location
The venue is perfectly situated - close enough to the beach for a stroll yet far enough to provide a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. You will be delighted to know that CC's Hideaway offers a complimentary beach shuttle service, running every hour, granting you effortless access to three stunning beaches: Kata Noi, Kata, and Karon Beach. Whether you prefer the tranquility of a secluded cove or the vibrant atmosphere of a bustling shoreline, the venue ensures you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
Kata Yai boasts soft, powdery sand and turquoise waters that change from a millpond in the dry season to a small surf beach in the wet. Plenty of commercial areas are nearby, with bustling streets filled with restaurants, accommodations, and other businesses. White sand Kata Noi Beach is only two and a half kilometers away. Karon Beach offers "singing sand" and great walks along the shoreline. The resort's location is not just about proximity to beautiful beaches; it is also an idyllic setting for your journey of self-discovery and growth.
Nestled amidst lush tropical surroundings, the resort serves as the perfect backdrop for your yoga teacher training. Imagine waking up to the gentle rustle of palm leaves and the soothing sounds of nature, setting the tone for your day of practice and learning. As the sun sets over the horizon, casting a golden hue over the landscape, you'll find yourself feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and ready to share the gift of yoga with others.
