Rooms
Our rooms, all with en suite bathrooms with large walk-in showers, are uniquely decorated, with fresh colors, and all feature modern accommodations infused with traditional and modern Thai furnishings. Each room has a balcony or patio with seating for 2.
Highlights
Mattresses are designed with the latest European pocket spring technology found in many five-star hotels around the world. Room furniture has been custom-designed for them in Chiang Mai's famous Baan Tawai woodworkers village by P-Collection. Khun Tukata and Khun Pom have worked with them for a look that has both modern and traditional elements.
Decorative textiles that have been hand-woven and hand-dyed to give a look that is both primitive and contemporary can be found in each guest room.
Upholsteries have been hand-woven by the women of the Prae Pun cooperative in Khon Kaen. This organization strives to keep alive the tradition of hand weaving and dyeing that has been a part of Thai rural life for centuries.
Bed runners are hand-woven cotton and block-printed with a paste resist made of rice. These resisted areas become impermeable to the indigo dyes applied later. This ancient batik technique has been used to decorate fabrics (including CC's staff uniforms) for millennia. These particular fabrics are made for them by the ethnic homing people of Nan in the north Thailand.
Decorative antique pottery reproductions adorn each of CC's rooms. Made in the two operating kilns in Si Satchanali, quanjitt and chanali kilns, archeological evidence found in shipwrecks in the South China Sea has revealed that this style of pottery was made from the 13th to 14th centuries in Si Satchanali and Sukhothai, collectively known as sawantalok wares.
This pottery was in demand throughout Asia, from Indonesia to China. These pots have been avidly collected through the centuries, and are found in the collections of the greatest museums of the world.
Inspired by existing antique pots in the collections of these kilns and from fragments found in the area to this day, skilled potters have created reproductions of these time-honored forms. The same techniques are employed to create these fine reproductions as were used by the old masters. Each piece is hand-thrown, carved, and glazed.
Contemporary pots from the Mengrai kiln in Chiang Mai are also in each room. This pottery was formed in 1973, and employs some 39 potters devoted to creating lasting contemporary re-interpretations of the ancient art of Thai pottery.
Each piece is proudly handmade and signed on the bottom by the artist, together with the kiln mark, and the symbol of the king and the day and date in the Thai calendar that the piece was thrown.

Program
Go and enjoy CC's Hideaway's yoga holiday retreat program, including the gorgeous beaches, amazing nature hikes, super-nutritiously delicious foods, attentive yoga instructors, and so much more. They help to promote happiness through relaxation, meditation, physical exercise, and healthy food.
For those wanting some adventure or to experience more of Phuket, they also offer fully inclusive retreats with eco adventures, tours, and activities.
Meditation and yoga are two of the most popular exercises for stress relief. The first is known to overcome negativity and replace it with a hopeful disposition. Through yoga and meditation, CC's' students become stronger and learn how to master their emotions.
Their yoga retreats are year-round, and you are welcome to start any day of your choosing. They offer a relaxed and nurturing environment to inspire you!
For each day of the week during your retreat, there will be various activity options. You’ll be free to mix and match your retreat days. Choose Program A on Monday, Program B on Tuesday, and an alternative option on Wednesday, or any combination that suits you.
Create a personalized retreat experience that’s unique to your interests, with flexibility each day to explore different activities. Soon after booking, CC's Hideaway will ask you to consider which program options you want for the first full day of your retreat, and you can advise them as soon as possible so that they can schedule you for your desired activities.
CC's Hideaway will usually be able to accommodate scheduling changes after the consultation on-site, even if just 24 hours in advance, but it is not guaranteed.
If you're interested in booking a personal private session (yoga, Reiki, sound healing), they suggest reserving for at least 48 hours. The yoga classes offer a range of practices, and you can easily find a schedule that suits you best. They even offer multiple morning and evening classes during certain months, such as November through March.
Your retreat includes both check-in and check-out days without scheduled activities, so you will have time to relax and settle in. This is because guests' arrival and departure times may need to align with the activity schedule and require time for consultation.
Yoga
Yoga classes are typically offered at CC's' rooftop yoga studio or other nearby beaches and parks unless an excursion is indicated. Most of the yoga classes include guided asana practice, pranayama, meditation, mantra, and chanting.
The instructors will make everyone feel welcome, no matter if they're a first timer or experienced. They will always have an eye on the participants and will help and support if needed. You can't be reunited with nature more than when doing yoga, watching the sunset, and listening to the birds at the rooftop studio.
Private yoga day
A private yoga class is especially suitable for timid beginners, expecting mothers, those suffering from injuries, or students looking to intensify areas of their practice. The class will be tailored to your limitations, injuries, and level of practice by CC's' experienced yoga teacher.
A 60-minute session will include meditation, asana practice, and pranayama. On the same day, you will be provided with a one-hour Thai or oil massage. CC's recommends this program to start your retreat program, and it is offered on any day of the week.
Yoga and holistic workshops

Private surfing day (seasonal)
A private lesson begins with understanding the aquatic and swimming history of each new surfer. Understanding the waves, weather conditions, and respecting currents is a must. Then, you'll start to practice standing up on the board. Once you get the hang of it, you will get into the water and start on the small waves close to shore with your instructor right next to your board.
You will begin safely lying down on your board and wait to feel the movement of the water. Then, you will start moving yourself up on your knees, and before you know it, you’re up and surfing.
When you get that first wave, you may be hooked! The lesson duration is 90 minutes, and the surfboard will be yours for the whole day.
Transportation
Check-in / check-out days will have a round-trip airport transfer or transfer from other hotels in Phuket, ferry pier, or bus station.
