Yacht Destination

Koh Lipe

Often called the ‘Maldives of Thailand’, Koh Lipe sits far south near the Malaysian border, with white-sand beaches, clear lagoons and easy access to Tarutao Marine Park.

Maldives-style lagoons in southern Thailand

Koh Lipe sits on the edge of the Tarutao National Marine Park, close to the Malaysian border. It’s famous for white sand, sandbanks and turquoise lagoons that look almost unreal, especially when approached by private yacht.

Despite its remote position, Koh Lipe has a friendly walking street with restaurants and small resorts, meaning you can enjoy both island village life and pristine marine scenery in one stop.
