Koh Lipe – A True Gem Without Mass Tourism

Koh Lipe is a true paradise island in southern Thailand, known for its pristine white beaches and crystal-clear waters. Here, you won't find mass tourism, but rather a small, charming, and peaceful island offering a genuine experience. Koh Lipe is part of Tarutao National Marine Park and is one of the popular destinations for travelers seeking tranquility and natural beauty.

How to Get to Koh Lipe

Koh Lipe can be accessed from various mainland locations, including Pak Bara, as well as islands like Koh Lanta and Koh Ngai. During the high season (November–May), daily boat trips run to the island. In the low season, ferry services are limited, usually operating once a week, primarily from the mainland. Since Koh Lipe doesn't have an actual dock, you will be picked up by longtail boats a short distance in the water, taking you directly to your hotel on the island.

Three Stunning Beaches on Koh Lipe

The island boasts three main beaches: Pattaya Beach, Sunrise Beach, and Sunset Beach. Our bungalows are situated on Pattaya Beach, the most popular beach, offering a modest selection of restaurants and accommodations. The sand here is white and fine, perfect for relaxation and beach life. Just a short distance from the beach lies a small coral reef, making Pattaya Beach an ideal spot for snorkeling on Koh Lipe.

Activities and Excursions on Koh Lipe

For those who love snorkeling and diving, there is much to explore around Koh Lipe. The island hosts several diving schools, offering courses and equipment rental for those who wish to dive independently. If you want to discover more of the fantastic snorkeling waters around the island, a day trip is recommended, taking you to some of the best spots in Tarutao National Marine Park and nearby islands such as Koh Adang and Koh Rawi.

Whether you're seeking peace and relaxation or want to explore the marine world, Koh Lipe offers an irresistible combination of pristine beaches, coral reefs, and an authentic Thai atmosphere. Let this little gem become your next tropical adventure!
