The White Lotus Season 3 is finally here—and if you haven’t already binged the new episodes, then you may want to prepare yourself for some pretty serious vacation FOMO.
But, if you have already indulged, after seeing the picturesque places where the season was shot, we don’t blame you for wanting to impulse-buy tickets to Thailand—we’re already downloading music for our flight!
Aside from all the super entertaining controversies and devious dramas that the show is known and deeply loved for; the real stand-out of the HBO series is that every location featured in the show is either a real-life accommodation or a tourist location (ie. YOU, too can stay there)!!!
Below, we break down exactly where The White Lotus Season 3 was filmed, so you can experience a slice of the lifestyle yourself on your next vacay.
Where Was The White Lotus Season 3 Filmed?
Following suit from previous seasons, The White Lotus Season 3 was primarily filmed at a singular luxury location. We see characters break off to experience plenty of nearby cities and popular destinations, but the basis of the season remains resort-bound.
Across the series, the star-studded cast journey to Bangkok, Phuket and Koh Samui in Thailand. Despite their high-net-worth characters wreaking havoc all over tropical paradise, one resort in particular sees itself as the home to most of this season’s drama…
Which Resort Is The White Lotus IRL?
Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
It doesn’t get much closer to paradise than this. Perfectly nestled amongst some of the world’s most coveted beaches, pristine turquoise seas and tropical flora, we really do have to take our hats off to HBO—they really know how to pick a location!
The Four Seasons Koh Samui boasts incredible views from almost every inch of the resort, offering many resort activities and amenities that definitely make a feature in this new season.
As far as rooms go, the resort offers everything from secluded single rooms, all the way up to a five-bedroom villa. So, we won’t spoil anything for you—you’ll have to tune in to see if the “up to 15 people” palace makes a feature this season.
If your holiday goal is to discover the true meaning of a laid-back island life, then look no further than Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. We couldn’t think of any better way to soak up this Thai paradise than by lounging around their pristine infinity pool with a cool drink (or two), or relaxing on a private deck overlooking the idyllic Gulf of Siam.
Between their in-resort Muay Thai classes, Elephant sanctuary trips, flyboarding experiences, and world-class spa amenities, the last puzzle piece missing from making this resort a literal slice of heaven is a shirtless Theo James to sunbathe with.
