Where Was The White Lotus Filmed? Every Real Hotel, Every Season
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.

Every White Lotus Filming Location, Season by Season
Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea
Season 1 was shot entirely on site at the Four Seasons Maui at Wailea, with the cast and crew living in the hotel for the duration of filming. The three pools, Wailea Beach frontage, Spago by Wolfgang Puck and the now famous Pineapple Suite all appear throughout the show. From around $1,000 per night for a garden view room.
San Domenico Palace, A Four Seasons Hotel
Season 2 was filmed at the San Domenico Palace in Taormina, a former Dominican monastery reopened by Four Seasons in 2021. The infinity pool, the cloisters and the dining room all feature in the show, although most bedroom interiors were actually shot at a separate Lumina Studios soundstage. From around $800 per night.
Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
Season 3 broke the single hotel format. The Four Seasons Koh Samui served as the main villa and pool location, with private hillside suites and the Secret Spa Garden featuring throughout. Lobby and arrival scenes were filmed at the Anantara Bophut Koh Samui, the spa scenes at Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, and the dinner scenes at Rosewood Phuket. From around $1,000 per night.
Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort
If you want to walk through the actual entrance shown in Season 3 at a fraction of the Four Seasons rate, this is the answer. The Anantara Bophut is around $250 per night, and guests are now actively booking it specifically because it appears in the show.
Rosewood Phuket
Rosewood Phuket's Ta Khai restaurant, a five time Michelin Guide listed venue, was used for the dining scenes in Season 3. Worth booking for the food alone even if you have not seen the show.
Chateau de La Messardiere, Airelles Collection
Season 4 moves to the French Riviera and the 19th century Chateau de La Messardiere, part of the Airelles Collection. Filming runs from late April through October 2026 with a cast that includes Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Coogan, Vincent Cassel and Chris Messina. From €3,000 per night.
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. We cover the exact scheduling in our full White Lotus guide.
