    Quick Answer

    Featured stay: Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea. A complete guide to every real hotel and filming location used across all four seasons of HBO's The White Lotus, with current rates and booking links. Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea is the first property to compare for this trip.

    The White Lotus is filmed at four very real luxury hotels, one per season, plus a handful of supporting properties used for specific scenes. Every season has been shot at a Four Seasons resort except Season 4, which moves to the Chateau de La Messardiere in Saint-Tropez. This guide covers every confirmed filming location, what each one costs to book in 2026, and where to stay if you want the closest experience to each season.

    When to Book Each Filming Location

    Rates at White Lotus hotels rise 20 to 40 percent in the months after each season airs. Season 4 begins filming in April 2026 and is expected to premiere in late 2026, so the window to book Saint-Tropez at pre-spike rates is closing fast. The Four Seasons Maui, San Domenico Palace and Four Seasons Koh Samui all have established multi-month booking lead times for peak season. I cover the exact scheduling in our full White Lotus guide.
