CC’s Hideaway Kata – SHA Plus

CC’s Hideaway Kata – SHA Plus Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to CC’s Hideaway Kata – SHA Plus, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But this four-star spot in Kata really surprised me in the best way possible. It’s tucked away just enough from the main Kata Beach strip that you escape the constant buzz of tuk-tuks and tour groups, but you’re still close enough to walk to that gorgeous stretch of sand in about five minutes (I timed it).

What really got me was how they’ve managed to keep things intimate without feeling cramped. The pool area has this almost secret garden vibe – you know those places where you feel like you’ve discovered something special? There are these little nooks with daybeds that actually get shade in the afternoon, which honestly saved me from turning into a lobster more than once. The staff here seem to genuinely remember your name after day two, which is rarer than you’d think at hotels this size. I mean, the woman at reception started asking about my motorbike rental situation without me bringing it up first – that kind of attention to detail.

The rooms themselves hit that sweet spot between modern and comfortable without trying too hard to be trendy. Air conditioning that actually works (crucial in March when it gets sticky), decent water pressure, and – this might sound small but it matters – enough power outlets near the bed for all your devices. The Wi-Fi reaches the pool area too, though honestly, you probably won’t want to be scrolling much when you’ve got Kata Beach calling. Speaking of which, the walk down to the beach takes you past some local spots the hotel folks clued me into – there’s this little family-run restaurant about halfway that does incredible pad thai for like 80 baht. The hotel’s location means you’re positioned perfectly for both the quieter northern end of Kata Beach and you can easily hop over to Karon if you want more action. Actually, I found myself using this place as a base for exploring the whole southwestern tip of Phuket – Big Buddha is a quick scooter ride up the hill, and you can catch some pretty spectacular sunset views from Promthep Cape without dealing with Patong crowds.

Reviews of CC’s Hideaway Kata – SHA Plus

• Nuria from Spain (9/10)

  This hotel is a true gem, ideal for solo travellers looking for a relaxed and beautiful time. Free shuttle to the center and beach, tours and activities, nice food and drinks, spa options… Everything in the same place so you don't need to worry about anything, just relax! I joined the Yoga and Adventure program and it was very complete, absolutely recommended!

• Poorna from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The staff are exceptional, and make you feel taken care of – especially good for solo travellers. The food is superb – a lot of thought has gone into the menu, lots of good options there. Loved the pool, room is great, and lots of options for tours and yoga and treatments. Due to the location up on the hill you’ll be able to take the free shuttle that runs hourly on the way down.

• Sandra from Germany (9/10)

  Absolutely loved it here. It was comfortable, clean and I felt very safe as a solo female traveller. I used the shuttle service to the beach, it was easy and very convenient. Make sure to do a tour (I did the viewpoints tour- it was amazing!) and book a massage (I think it one of the best massages I’ve ever had). Most outstanding though are the people who work there— no matter which area (reception, restaurant, bar, tour, massage), I felt so well taken care of!

• Kimberly from Singapore (9/10)

  Very relaxing and chill place, friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room, convenient hotel shuttle around the Kata and Karon area. They provide daily activities (like yoga classes) to join if you want. Solo travel friendly too.

• Sessalie from United States (9/10)

  The staff was absolutely incredible! So friendly and super accommodating. I also really loved the shuttle service.

• India from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Loved my stay at this hotel, met many other solo female travellers on the day trips and the hotel staff were amazing, so friendly, helpful and accommodating. You get a weeks timetable when you arrive that includes day trips, yoga, sound baths and meditation sessions – loved this! I didn’t book a retreat but wished I did as other girls had spa treatments, day trips, food and yoga etc included in their packages. Deffo worth booking a retreat if you fancy that type of holiday.

• André from Switzerland (8/10)

  Amazing Xmas special show with the best Patong drag queens. Surprisingly good breakfast for European and Australien taste. Free hourly shuttle service to different locations in Kata and Karon beach. Very good yoga programme and a variety of great teachers.
