Lipe Beach Resort

Right on Sunrise Beach, Lipe Beach Resort puts you steps from some of Koh Lipe’s best swimming and snorkeling waters. The eastern shore location means you’ll catch those famous sunrise views without leaving your room, and the main Walking Street with its restaurants and bars is just a short stroll away. This stretch of beach tends to be quieter than the busier Pattaya Beach area.

The resort’s beachfront position is its biggest draw – you’re literally on the sand with direct beach access. At 3-star level, you’ll get comfortable accommodations without luxury frills, but the trade-off is worth it for the location. The property sits at 143 Moo 7 on Sunrise Beach, putting you in one of the island’s prime spots for both relaxation and easy access to island activities.

Insider Tip: Book a room facing the beach if possible – the sunrise views over the Andaman Sea are spectacular, and you’ll avoid any noise from the main road behind the property.

This works well for mid-range travelers who prioritize location over luxury amenities. With an 8.1/10 rating on Agoda from 176 reviews, guests clearly appreciate what it offers, though as a 3-star property, don’t expect resort-level service or facilities. It’s ideal for couples or friends who want beachfront access without breaking the bank, though families might find the setup a bit basic for extended stays.

At $45 per night, you’re getting solid value for a beachfront location on one of Thailand’s most beautiful islands. Koh Lipe’s compact size means everything is walkable – the main pier is about 10 minutes away, and you can reach Pattaya Beach in 15 minutes on foot. Long-tail boats to nearby islands like Koh Adang depart regularly from various beach points.
