Bella Vista Beach Resort Koh Lipe

4.1(348 reviews)

Bella Vista Beach Resort sits on Koh Lipe, a small island in the Satun province of southern Thailand, part of the Ko Tarutao National Marine Park. Known for its clear turquoise waters and unhurried atmosphere, Koh Lipe is one of the Andaman Sea's more sought-after island destinations, and this resort places guests within easy reach of its beaches and marine environment. Guests can expect a laid-back beach resort experience suited to travellers looking to unwind rather than be in the thick of a busy resort complex. The property draws reasonably consistent positive feedback, reflecting a standard of accommodation that suits those prioritising location and a relaxed coastal setting over luxury amenities. The resort operates around the clock, making it convenient for arrivals on varying ferry schedules. From a practical standpoint, Koh Lipe is best visited between November and April, when the weather is dry and sea conditions are calm enough for snorkelling and island-hopping. Access to Koh Lipe is by boat only, with ferries running from Pak Bara pier on the mainland, as well as connections from Langkawi in Malaysia during peak season. Travellers should book accommodation well in advance if visiting during the high season, as the island's limited lodging fills quickly. Checking the resort's website directly is advisable for current rates and availability.
