The third season of the wildly popular, award-winning drama series, The White Lotus has begun, and it has already raised plenty of questions about the sunny seaside resort location, where the new batch of entitled travellers touched down.
Famous for sending their star-studded casts to opulent Four Seasons holiday resorts around the globe, The White Lotus series kicked off a few years ago at Four Seasons Resort Oahu in Hawaii before jetting off for a European summer at The San Domenico Palace in Sicily (also a Four Seasons). So it comes as no surprise that for season 3 they’ll be sticking to their winning formula, choosing the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui as the backdrop.
With The White Lotus season 3 airing from February 17th 2025, we’ll take any snippets of island life. And if you’re dying (too soon?) to take a look at The White Lotus season 3 filming location where all sorts of sordid mayhem are set to ensue, read on.
Where is season 3 of The White Lotus filmed?
With some pretty damning evidence (hello, fully booked out resort during a certain show’s exact filming schedule…), and the personal account from an executive involved with the show, it’s with some degree of certainty that we can point our virtual fingers towards the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui as The White Lotus season 3 location.
Season 3: Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
Perched on the lush hillside, the Four Seasons resort offers The White Lotus cast sea-facing villas and private residences with panoramic ocean views, private infinity pools, al fresco dining pavilions, a live-in personal residential assistant and chic interiors featuring island-inspired local accents, providing the perfect blend of spaciousness, comfort and authenticity.
Stay there and you’ll spend your days emulating the lavish lives of the cast, exploring pristine sandy beaches bordered by tropical greenery and calm blue seas, or lounging at the infinity pool or on your private deck overlooking the idyllic Gulf of Siam – with every imaginable comfort provided. Morning meditation, anyone?
Surrounded by tropical gardens and situated on the island’s north-western tip, the resort is a sun-soaked paradise on Laem Yai Bay.
Just a short ferry ride from Don Sak Pier, a 55-minute flight from Phuket Airport, or fly directly into Koh Samui International Airport, the resort is exactly the place you’d expect for our motley crew.

With everything you would expect – opulence, beauty, and history – the Palace is rightfully named, lovingly decorated, and the perfect destination for an Italian escape.
With terraces overlooking dramatic landscapes of Mount Etna and the Bay of Taormina, magnificent Italian gardens, a clifftop infinity pool, Michelin-starred dining and easy access to the old town, you’ll be transported to another world.
