The hit HBO series The White Lotus is filmed at real, ultra-luxury properties—predominantly Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. While the first two seasons focused on a single hotel property, the third season in Thailand utilizes a creative blend of multiple luxury resorts to build its fictional layout.

The exact resorts used for each season include:

Season 1: Maui, Hawaii

Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea

This 5-star resort served as the exclusive setting for the entire first season. The cast and crew actually lived at the hotel during the pandemic-era shoot. You can visit the exact lobby, the beachfront, and the recognizable adult infinity pool featured heavily on screen.

Season 2: Sicily, Italy

San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel

The primary setting for the second season is this spectacular cliffside resort overlooking the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna. Reimagined from a 14th-century convent, it hosted the hotel lobby, courtyard, and iconic clifftop infinity pool scenes.

Four Seasons Hotel Firenze (Florence)

The grand, ultra-spacious hotel suites shown during Daphne and Harper's overnight side-trip to Noto were actually filmed at this sister Four Seasons property in Florence.

Season 3: Thailand

Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui

This 40-acre hillside resort on the island's northwestern tip serves as the main anchor for the fictional Thai "White Lotus". It provided the backdrop for the main pool, beach, breakfast restaurant, gym, and standalone guest villas.

Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas

Located on the northern tip of Phuket, this tranquil, lagoon-enclosed resort hosted the season's serene opening sequences as well as its explosive, chaotic finale.

Used to piece together elements of the main resort layout, specifically providing the backdrop for the hotel lobby and on-site jewelry store scenes.

Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort

Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok

For the episodes where characters travel to Thailand's capital, this historic landmark property was used to film the recognizable main lobby, guest rooms, and its famous jazz hotspot, The Bamboo Bar.
