Lipa Noi Beach Koh Samui Island, Thailand

Lipa Noi are located at the west coast of Samui. Koh Small, uninhabited beaches with crystal clear waters, perfect for relaxing beach holidays and snorkeling. From here you have the best sunset views. Its closeness to the island's main car ferry pier makes Lipa Noi a convenient choice for anyone driving to Koh Samui from the mainland. The beach has fine white sand and there are no rocks or coral in the water, making it one of the best beaches for kids on the island. The water is also very shallow for up to 100 metres out.

The remoteness of the beach is what makes it most attractive to the visitors, who return here, year after year, in quite large numbers. The demographic of tourists here is older than you'll find elsewhere on the island, and mainly comprised of pensioners and families. Be prepared to be independent, and either rent a car or strike a deal with a taxi driver. Shopping is limited in the area, and so you'll need to go to port town Nathon, 5km away, on a regular basis.

At the sandy beach of Lipa Noi beach you will find only a few resorts, all owned by people, determined to keep this last undiscovered beach as natural, but also as convenient as possible to their guests, who are used to a high standard of accommodations, but don't want to miss out on island charm.

There are a few well-spaced bungalow operations, of which Big John Seafood ( change to The Lipa Lovely Resort ) is the most popular. Their attached restaurant is also well worth a visit. Lipa Noi is also home to the Samui Dhama Healing Centre one of Samui's more intense fasting spas.
