The sun-drenched, satirical world of HBO's The White Lotus has found its next luxurious playground. Following explosive seasons in Hawaii, Sicily, and most recently Thailand, the award-winning series is set to return to the Land of Smiles for its fourth instalment.
In a move that will delight fans, the show's creator, Mike White, has confirmed the new season will film at the breathtaking Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. This stunning location promises to provide the perfect backdrop for the show's signature blend of dark comedy, social commentary, and jaw-dropping scenery.
From Sicily to Samui: A New Paradise Awaits
The Four Seasons Koh Samui is a secluded haven nestled on the island's north-western tip. Known for its palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters, and ultra-private villas with infinity pools, the resort epitomises the luxury and exclusivity that The White Lotus franchise is famous for lampooning.
This marks a return to South-East Asia for the series, following the critical and commercial success of the third season, which was also filmed in Thailand. The choice suggests Mike White and HBO have found a rich cultural and visual tapestry they wish to explore further.
What Can Fans Expect?
While plot details are being kept under tighter security than a resort VIP guest, the location offers some tantalising clues. The lush, tropical setting and serene Buddhist culture of Koh Samui provide a starkly different atmosphere from the historical grandeur of Sicily's Taormina.
One can expect the new season to delve into themes of spiritual wellness, eco-tourism, and perhaps even the world of luxury property development, all filtered through the show's uniquely cynical and hilarious lens. The casting process is now underway, with rumours already swirling about which A-list stars will check in next.
With production on the horizon, one thing is certain: the guests at the White Lotus are in for another unforgettable—and undoubtedly chaotic—stay.
