Finding Your Perfect Stay
There are plenty of choices on Koh Lipe, but it's a small island and during busy periods everywhere can get booked up — so book ahead, especially during high season (November to April).
The island offers accommodation for every budget — from luxury beachfront resorts to charming bungalows. Most places are within walking distance of beaches, restaurants, and our dive center.
Each beach has its own character: Pattaya Beach is lively with easy Walking Street access, Sunrise Beach is calm and home to Castaway Resort, and Sunset Beach is secluded and tranquil.
