I recently had the pleasure of staying at Castaway Resort on the beautiful island of Koh Lipe, Thailand, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the resort’s stunning design—blending traditional, natural elements with a laid-back jungle vibe. If you’ve ever dreamed of staying in a treehouse, this is the place to do it. The experience was nothing short of magical, and I couldn’t help but snap countless photos and videos, each capturing a memory that will stay with me forever.
The Accommodation: The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the bungalow, which felt like an enchanting treehouse. My bedroom was nestled on the second floor, giving me the sense of living among the treetops. It was a perfect blend of comfort and nature, offering a peaceful retreat with incredible views.
Service: The service at Castaway Resort is exceptional, truly 5-star. The staff was always efficient, warm, and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was perfect. They made us feel like family, and their attention to detail made all the difference. Special thanks to Kai and the entire team for their kindness and hospitality.
Dining: The food at Castaway was nothing short of spectacular. Every meal felt like a celebration of traditional Thai flavors, with fresh, organic ingredients that I could taste in every bite. I particularly looked forward to breakfast each morning—enjoying fresh eggs and the best ginger tea I’ve ever had, all while overlooking the beach. The resort also offers a range of other dining options, with both Thai and international dishes to satisfy every palate.
Wellness and Relaxation: If you’re looking for relaxation, I highly recommend the resort’s spa services. After trying multiple massages on the island, the Thai oil massage at Castaway Resort was by far the best I experienced. Set in an open-air pavilion, with the soothing sounds of waves crashing in the background, it was an incredibly rejuvenating experience. The treatment felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders, and I left feeling completely refreshed.
Family-Friendly and Safe: Castaway Resort is also wonderfully family-friendly, creating an atmosphere where I felt safe and at ease throughout my stay. The resort caters to all ages, and it was heartening to see so many families enjoying their time together. The property itself feels very secure, and I had no concerns whatsoever about my safety or well-being.
A Dream Come True: This trip was especially meaningful to me, as it marked the realization of a dream I had since 2005. Back then, I had booked tickets to Thailand, only for the trip to be unexpectedly canceled the night before. Almost 20 years later, I finally had the opportunity to visit, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay than Castaway Resort. I traveled with my dear friend, Nathalie Rapti Gomez , a fellow Greek artist and talented thespian, and together we relished every moment.
A Warm Welcome to Thailand: As first-time visitors to Thailand, we were greeted with open arms, and the warmth of the Castaway team made us feel right at home. Whether you’re an avid traveler or just looking for a tranquil getaway, Koh Lipe and Castaway Resort offer an unforgettable experience.
Final Thoughts: Koh Lipe is a hidden gem in Thailand, and Castaway Resort is the perfect base for exploring this beautiful island. With its top-notch service, stunning accommodations, and relaxing atmosphere, it’s an ideal destination for those seeking both adventure and peace. I highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Koh Lipe, and I can’t wait to return.
