Four Seasons Takes Guests Behind the Scenes of The White Lotus

Immersive experiences mean super fans can now live out The White Lotus dream – no murder necessary.

By Ellys Woodhouse

Ever wanted to star in your own Emmy-award-winning TV show? Well if you’re still waiting to hear back from auditions and callbacks, Four Seasons might be the closest thing you can get to being on the silver screen any time soon. 

While the eponymous hotel chain in the HBO Original series The White Lotus may be fiction, the real-life locations certainly are not – in fact, every season of the dramedy has been filmed at a different Four Seasons property. Serving as the elegant backdrop for the not-so-fortunate cast of HNW characters, season one of The White Lotus takes place in the tropical oasis of Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea in Hawaii, meanwhile, season two takes its ensemble to the Italian island of Sicily to San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel.

With season three set to premiere in early 2025, the TV runner Mike White is jet-setting over to Asia to stay in Thailand’s idyllic Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. What the real location lacks in murder mysteries, the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui makes up in exclusivity and tropical tranquility. Located on the northwest tip of Thailand’s idyllic island of Koh Samui, set amidst lush tropical greenery and coconut groves, the 71-room hillside resort offers sweeping ocean views, turquoise waters and a private white-sand beach.

“After showcasing the beauty of Maui and then our breathtaking Taormina property, we’re excited to celebrate Koh Samui in the third season of this beloved show,” said Marc Speichert, Four Seasons’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer. 

“Mike White and his team have created something truly special. For many Four Seasons guests, especially our pop culture enthusiasts and travel trendsetters, The White Lotus serves as the perfect travel inspiration. 

For those who might not make it over to the Thai coast before tuning into their TV screens, Mike White, Max and Four Seasons have teamed up to take guests even further into the world The White Lotus (well, excusing the murder part, of course). Ahead of the third season’s premiere, the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village is set to be transformed into the world’s first immersive hotel experience inspired by the TV show.

 Set to take place over multiple days, guests will experience on-site activations, inspired by the show’s third seasons. While visiting Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, guests can also enjoy the hotel’s recent renovation which saw the 12-acre resort brush up its spa, lush Cove Pool, three restaurants and more so it’s red carpet ready.
