Castaway Resort

Our resort is on the east side of Koh Lipe towards the Southern end of Sunrise Beach

At Castaway Resort the spirit of ‘The Beach’ is brought to life. Amid the beautiful setting nature has given Koh Lipe, our spacious wooden bungalows and large chill out deck overlooking the beach definitely make Castaway the most atmospheric of Koh Lipe’s resorts. Stay in one of our spacious bungalows and re-connect with a simpler life. Made from hardwoods and natural materials the design of our bungalows draws heavily on traditional Thai architecture and building techniques. Designed to capture the winds, cooling breezes are funnelled under the eaves into the bedroom keeping the temperature inside comfortable all year long. In the evenings under the stars and with the sound of the waves for company sit on the deck and share a memorable evening with friends and family whilst enjoying a cold beer or one of our signature cocktails.

All around the resort there are spaces to chill out and relax. Each bungalow has a shaded balcony with cushions and hammocks. The front of the restaurant and bar is a large covered deck with cushions and low tables where you can sit and look out over the sea. On the beach we have salas where you can sit in the shade and be part of the beach life. Our house coral reef is right in front of the beach and can be explored by snorkelling and diving.

In the resort we have a little massage centre where our masseuse who are all trained in Wat Pho traditional Thai massage, can massage away your aches and pains and help you to truly relax into your holiday.

Downstairs from the deck, right on the beach we have our very own Dive Centre, Castaway Divers. Here we run adventure trips to visit the surrounding islands, snorkelling trips and of course scuba diving. We also rent kayaks and snorkel sets.

When we started thinking about building a resort the first thought we had was that it had to be eco friendly. We wanted to blend with the environment and not use lots of diesel generating electricity. Our designs have been heavily influenced by traditional Thai building methods. All our buildings are made of natural hard woods built on posts buried in the ground eliminating the need for concrete foundations. The roofs are made from local thatch. The combination of natural materials keeps the bungalows cooler as they don't retain the heat. The bungalows themselves catch the winds that come in off the beach and channel them inside, keeping you cool as you sleep, even without air conditioning. Low energy bulbs are used everywhere for our lighting to save power. For now our electricity still comes from diesel generators, but we are working with Solution Carbon, a French company specialising in carbon credits and carbon offsets, to replace our generators with clean sources of power.

Koh Lipe is a beautiful little island and if we are all to enjoy it for a long time to come we need to look after it and the environment.

Itinerary / Highlights

Getting to Koh Lipe

During the busy winter months from November to May there are speedboats and ferries connecting Koh Lipe with Pak Bara, Trang, Koh Lanta, Krabi, Koh Phi Phi and Phuket in the north, and with Langkawi in the south. From May to November the only daily boats are from Pak Bara in Satun.

The Beach

We are truly blessed on Koh Lipe - We are surrounded by beautiful seas with the most amazing colours from the ever changing sun light. Around the island are coral reefs teeming with fish and wild life. The beaches are all covered in white sand. Its impossible to visit Koh Lipe without spending lots of time admiring the beaches and the sea.

Snorkelling

One of the best ways to explore the seas around Koh Lipe is by snorkelling. You can rent gear in the resort and go snorkelling directly from our beach and see a lot of fish and coral. When you've exhausted Sunrise Beach take one of our snorkel tours to the nearby islands. We’ll send you off with a pack lunch and water and you can spend a leisurely few hours hanging out on a deserted beach and swimming by yourself. If you want something more adventurous go on a jungle trek and visit waterfalls, or go and see the troupe of crab eating macaques.

Kayaks

If you don't like getting wet and snorkelling is not your thing rent a kayak and explore the small islands off Sunrise Beach. If you want to be more adventurous you can kayak all the way over to Adang and explore the beaches there.
