What to Consider Before Choosing the Best Hotel in Koh Lipe?
Here are some of the most important things to know before choosing the best hotel in Koh Lipe:
1. Proximity to Koh Lipe attractions
The island is so pint-sized that it makes visiting the many attractions a breeze!
Koh Lipe’s 3 most popular beaches are Sunrise, Sunset and Pattaya Beach, which are (at most) a 20-minute walk away from each other.
The island’s famous Walking Street is also very easy to get to form most of Koh Lipe’s hotels and is especially close to Pattaya Beach.
Tip: Check out our post about what to do in Koh Lipe here.
2. Getting around Koh Lipe
While there are some opportunities to rent a motorcycle or bicycle, the island is small enough to walk everywhere, which is what most locals do.
However, many of the hotels on this list offer shuttles into the island’s retail hub, while others also provide bike rentals for a quicker journey around Koh Lipe.
3. Traveling to Koh Lipe
The island itself doesn’t have an airport but there are still a number of ways to reach the sandy haven.
You can easily book a boat ride to the Koh Lipe Pier or the Koh Lipe Arrival Floating Pier from your destination, where a longtail boat will take you to shore.
