With the third season of The White Lotus premiering this February, anticipation is building for the show’s signature blend of luxury and drama set at stunning hotels. The first two seasons not only drew us in with gripping plot twists but also showcased incredible settings: The Four Seasons Resort Maui in Hawaii (Season 1) and The Four Seasons San Domenico Palace in Taormina, Sicily (Season 2). Now, as we get ready for Season 3, let’s take a closer look at the two incredible properties where the latest chapter unfolds.

Located on a hillside overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is a tropical retreat that feels like paradise.
