Its closeness to the island's main car ferry pier makes Lipa
Noi a convenient choice for anyone driving to 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.
There are a few well-spaced bungalow operations, of which Big
John Seafood is the most popular. Their attached restaurant is
also well worth a visit. There are also now a couple of beachside
luxury villa properties for rent. Lipa Noi is also home to the
Samui Dhama Healing Centre one of Samui's more intense fasting
spas.
Apart from the beach, there's little else to do in the area -
its very remoteness is what makes it most attractive to the regular
visitors, who come in quite large numbers. It is certainly not
the place to come for a party and this is reflected in the older
demographic of tourists here. There's not much in the way of entertainment
in the area but driving through the coconut plantations will provide
you with a pleasant and relaxing sense of being in tropical paradise.
