No, lipids are generally less dense than water. Most lipids, such as fats and oils, float on water because their density is lower than that of water, which is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter. This property is why oil spills create a layer on the surface of water.

Why don't lipids and water mix together?

Lipids are insoluble, so they will form a layer on top of the water, much like when oil from a spillage will float above the water's surface, as it is less dense than the water. They will not dissolve.

When lipids and water are mixed are water molecules isolate themselves into droplets?

This is possible only if the ratio of lipid is massive to the ratio of water. However, this is usually not the case. In most cases, when lipids and water are mixed, the hydrophobic properties of the lipids cause the lipids to coalesce at the top of the water without mixing, because that lipids are less dense than water.
