Where will The White Lotus season four be filmed?
After whisking viewers away to the sun-drenched shores of Maui in season one, the historic streets of Sicily in season two, and multiple luxury resorts in Thailand for season three, HBO’s acclaimed anthology The White Lotus is officially heading to France for its fourth season. Production is expected to begin in 2026, and while no specific location has been confirmed, speculation centres on the ultra-luxe Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera, a favourite among Hollywood elites and just a short drive from Cannes. The series, created by Mike White, has long showcased beautiful real-world hotels, with Four Seasons properties forming the backbone of the first three seasons.
The show has enjoyed a close relationship with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts – though it’s no longer an exclusive one. Seasons one and two were filmed at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea and San Domenico Palace, Taormina. While this partnership continued in season three, with the main White Lotus filming locations being at Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, a handful of other luxury hotels also helped to make up the fictional The White Lotus Thailand. These include Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort, Rosewood Phuket, Anantara Mai Khao Phuket and Anantara Bophut Koh Samui. Season four is likely to continue the show’s tradition of blending multiple locations, taking viewers beyond the hotel bubble to explore key narrative moments against the backdrop of France. While Four Seasons’ involvement is anticipated, other luxury resorts may also feature. As always, audiences can expect a mix of bucket-list-worthy scenery, hotel inspo and the scandalous, character-driven storytelling that has made The White Lotus a global sensation.
You can now buy a villa at the real-life White Lotus resort
Have you ever dreamed of being able to live at The White Lotus? Now you can! The Estates Samui at Four Seasons Koh Samui are up for sale.
Channel the chaotic glam of Jennifer Coolidge’s beloved character by moving into The White Lotus – no Vespa chases or sus yacht trips required. Three new ultra-luxury villas at The Estates Samui, set within the Four Seasons Resort and filming location of The White Lotus season three, are now on the market.
Fantasy meets reality on the idyllic shores of Koh Samui in Thailand, where three new cliffside villas have just been unveiled within The Estates Samui at the Four Seasons Resort – the gorgeous setting for the third season of HBO’s cult-favourite series.
Developed by Minor International, these cinematic residences start at USD $12.5 million and channel the allure, exclusivity, and quiet luxury that have become synonymous with The White Lotus. Perched high above the Gulf of Thailand, each villa is a masterpiece in tropical modernism — and now, they’re available to own.
Designed by acclaimed architect and designer Bill Bensley, the villas boast sweeping sea views, private infinity pools with bubble beds and water jets, shaded barbecue terraces for alfresco dining, and even poolside bars. Inside, residents enjoy sunken dining pavilions, hardwood decks and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame vistas of the surrounding jungle and sea. Each villa features two to five bedrooms, with the primary suite offering direct access to a secluded plunge pool.
Ownership options include both freehold and leasehold, and residents have full access to the Four Seasons’ world-class amenities, including tennis courts, water sports, spa services, in-villa dining and daily housekeeping. For those looking to offset their tropical lifestyle with an investment edge, owners may enter the resort’s managed rental program, sharing in the returns (60% to the owner, 40% to the operator).
Tucked into the lush hillside above Laem Yai Bay in Koh Samui’s tranquil northwest, The Estates Samui is an ultra-exclusive collection of just 14 villas — a retreat in every sense, where the powder-white sands and crystal waters below serve as your personal postcard. Are you ready to write your own story in paradise? Read more about The White Lotus filming locations below.
Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui has everything you might imagine a five-star Thai property to involve: abundant tropical fruit, white-sand beaches and airy villas with private infinity pools overlooking the Gulf of Siam. To experience The White Lotus filming locations in real life, check out the resort’s villas, breakfast and lunch restaurants, pool, beach, water hammocks, gym and boxing ring.
Ta Khai restaurant at Rosewood Phuket
Another breathtaking property appearing in the show’s third season is Rosewood Phuket. Featured in the series’ dinner scenes is the hotel’s seafood restaurant Ta Kai, which serves up authentic Southern Thai cuisine in a rustic village ambience.
The Singing Bird Lounge at Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort
One of the key White Lotus filming locations for season three is the Singing Bird Lounge at Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort. The series’ bar scenes were shot at this jaw-dropping treehouse bar that is nestled within the branches of a 120-year-old tree. The resort’s pool and oceanfront suites reflect Samui’s heritage with Sino-Thai design influences.
Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas
Tucked away along a pristine coastal stretch on Phuket’s northern tip, Anantara Mai Khao Phuket makes the perfect setting for secluded serenity. It’s no wonder the resort was selected as the setting for the show’s wellness sanctuary, spa and Belinda’s Room.
Anantara Bophut Koh Samui
From the lobby, security station and jewelry store to the hotel driveway, a number of moments from White Lotus season three were filmed at Anantara Bophut Koh Samui. This beachfront resort offers 106 sunlit suites, gorgeous landscaping (including lily ponds) and a Bill Bensley-designed spa.
