Location & what to see
The hotel stands on Ko Lipe, a small island in Satun province in the south of Thailand, where the beaches, the village lanes and the pier are all within a short walk of one another. It is in the village area, close to the pier and the lanes. The island is reached by boat, which is part of its appeal: days are spent on the sand, in the water or on foot around the village. From the hotel, both the beaches and the boat pier are easy to reach on foot.
Walking Street and Pattaya Beach are both about 100 m from the hotel, and the Koh Lipe Ferry Terminal is 200 m away, so boat arrivals reach the hotel quickly. Sunrise Beach and Sunset Beach lie a short walk away, and both can be reached on foot from the village. Koh Adang, a neighbouring island, is 6.2 km away by sea.
A typical day could start with a swim at a beach about 120 m from the hotel, then move to a boat trip to Koh Adang or to snorkelling spots further out. The nearest airport is Trang, 119 km away on the mainland, so the final part of the journey to the island is by boat.
What guests say
Travellers rate the location (8.8) most highly, followed by the service (8.3) and the cleanliness (8.2), both of which score well.
