When HBO’s The White Lotus announced its third season would be set in Thailand, fans and luxury travelers alike were abuzz with anticipation. Known for showcasing dramatic settings that are as much characters as the people in the series, The White Lotus previously spotlighted Hawaii’s Four Seasons Resort Maui in Season 1 and San Domenico Palace, a Four Seasons Hotel in Sicily, for Season 2. These locations set the tone adding to a luxurious backdrop of the show but also saw a remarkable surge in bookings, cementing their status as bucket-list destinations for affluent travelers. Now, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui takes center stage, promising to enchant with its tropical splendor and signature luxury.
Renowned architect Bill Bensley infused the resort with elements that harmonize with its lush surroundings, from private infinity pools offering uninterrupted views of the Gulf of Thailand to the serene, jungle-clad hillside.
Koh Samui’s tranquil beaches, vibrant local culture and dramatic landscapes offered the perfect backdrop for the series’ exploration of drama.
