14-Day Yoga and Adventure Wellness Retreat in Phuket, Thailand

The retreat is based at CC's Hideaway, described as one of the greenest hotels in Phuket. It sits in the lush hills of Kata, with views across the Andaman Sea, and you're within easy reach of three of the island's best beaches: Kata Noi, Kata, and Karon. The hotel mixes modern comfort with traditional Thai furnishings, and the rooftop yoga studio is the centerpiece—open-air, surrounded by trees, with birds providing the soundtrack as the sun sets.

Your weeks run on a repeating program where each day offers two or three fixed options, plus alternatives. So on a Monday you can choose between an island-hopping adventure by longtail boat, a chakra workshop day, or swap in something like aerial yoga or a private surf lesson. This flexibility is the real draw—you're never locked into a schedule that doesn't suit you. Tours include the Island Discovery trips to Koh Yao and the James Bond Islands, jungle treks to the Big Buddha, a kayak and waterfall day known as 4 Waters, a zipline and beach day as 4 Elements, an Old Town cultural heritage tour, and a visit to the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary. The retreat includes many of these, though some come with an extra charge.

Yoga itself covers Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Ashtanga, Aerial, Acro, and even beginner Muay Thai boxing sessions. The teaching team is international and certified—Nuya from Thailand teaches Hatha and Acro, Amy is a Yoga Medicine specialist and psychotherapist, Stefanie has nearly 20 years of experience in Hatha and Yin, and Anastasia, along with being a wellness chef, is a certified holistic nutritionist. Sessions are held in the rooftop studio or on nearby beaches and parks, and teachers keep a close eye on beginners while still challenging experienced practitioners.

Beyond yoga, there are workshops on chakra tuning, Thai remedies, raw vegan cooking, and energy healing like Reiki and sound baths. One morning might be a trek through the national park, the next an essential spa ritual or a visit to a Traditional Chinese Medicine center. Because the program runs year-round with flexible start dates, you shape the retreat as much as the staff do.
