Idyllic Concept Resort Koh Lipe Thailand
Best Hotel in Koh Lipe Thailand
Our journey to Koh Lipe started with a sense of excitement and anticipation at Rassada Pier in Phuket. While there are a few options to go to Lipe Island, we booked a speedboat for a shorter travel time and to enjoy the views better. This small island, often referred to as the "Maldives of Thailand," is located in the southern part of the country, close to the Malaysian border. Koh Lipe is renowned for its stunning blue waters and pristine beaches. It's a dream destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat surrounded by natural beauty. If you choose to visit this incredible place and you are looking for a hotel, we highly recommend staying in the best Hotel in Koh Lipe Thailand - Idyllic Concept Resort.

Upon arriving at Idyllic Concept Resort, we were warmly greeted by the staff. They offered us cold towels to refresh ourselves after the journey, which was a simple yet thoughtful gesture. One unique feature of Idyllic Concept Resort is its on-site Starbucks, conveniently located right on the beach. We received two free drink vouchers that we used to enjoy freshly brewed coffee while soaking in the breathtaking view of Koh Lipe azure waters. Sipping our coffee with our toes in the sand was simply fantastic!
