Anda Resort Koh Lipe

Anda Resort sits on Koh Lipe, one of Thailand's most remote and visually striking islands in the Andaman Sea, close to the Malaysian border in Satun Province. The resort offers informal accommodation, with some rooms featuring traditional thatch roofs, giving it a laid-back island character that suits travellers looking for a relaxed escape rather than a polished luxury experience. On-site dining and a bar mean guests have convenient options without needing to venture far, though Koh Lipe's Walking Street is known for its variety of local food and nightlife. The resort carries a modest rating across a substantial number of reviews, suggesting it delivers a functional and atmospheric stay that appeals to a certain type of traveller — those drawn to rustic island charm over five-star amenities. The surrounding island itself is a significant draw, with clear turquoise waters, coral reefs popular with snorkellers and divers, and a relatively unhurried pace compared to busier Thai island destinations. Good to know: Koh Lipe is only accessible by boat, with ferry services typically running from Pak Bara Pier and seasonal connections from Langkawi, Malaysia. The island becomes harder to reach during the monsoon season, roughly May through October, when many resorts scale back operations or close entirely. Visitors are advised to confirm availability and book accommodation in advance when travelling during the peak dry season from November through April.
