The White Lotus · Filming location
Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
In the story · Season 3, all episodes (arrival in episode 1, 'Same Spirits, New Forms')
A real filming location, and the White Lotus of season 3. This hillside resort among the coconut palms plays the White Lotus on Koh Samui: the villas of the rich Ratliff family from North Carolina, of three old school friends (Jaclyn, Kate and Laurie) and of Rick and his young girlfriend Chelsea, plus the pool, the beach, the restaurants, the gym and the spirit house. It is a real hotel that anyone can book.
