Serendipity

Top choice in Ko Lipe


Serendipity is in an exquisitely designed spot, delightfully isolated by draping itself up above the boulder-strewn southern point of Hat Sunrise and accessed via a wooden boardwalk. Spacious dark-wood thatched bungalows feature private patios offering super views, great beds and stylish bathrooms, while the most expensive have plunge pools.
