Ko Lipe is a small island in the Tarutao archipelago off Thailand's southern coast, reached by boat from the mainland. Trang Airport on the mainland is the nearest airport, and the crossing by boat is the last leg before the island. The guesthouse is in the Sunrise Beach area, where the sea is close and the island's village life begins a short walk away. Boats leave from the pier for the nearby islands.

Sunrise Beach is 150 m away, and the ferry terminal is 700 m from the guesthouse, so the arrival by boat is a short walk from the rooms. Pattaya Beach and the Walking Street are close by, and most of the island is explored on foot or by longtail boat. The village lanes around the Walking Street are close to the guesthouse, so the centre of the island is never far away.

Koh Adang, 6.5 km away, is an island in Tarutao National Park, and it is a natural choice for a boat trip with snorkelling. Karma Beach is 1 km away, and Sunset Beach lies a little further along the coast, so a day can combine a beach walk with a trip out to sea. Scuba diving is also available around the island. Boat trips can be affected by rough seas, especially in the monsoon months.
