With 23 Emmy nominations, including one for Outstanding Drama Series, The White Lotus Season 3 has undoubtedly captured the attention of audiences and critics alike. The series’ unique blend of dark humor, tense suspense, and jaw-dropping scenery made it one of the most talked-about TV experiences of the year. While the complex characters and sharp dialogue kept viewers engaged, it was the setting—lush, cinematic, and distinctly Thai—that truly mesmerized audiences.
Filmed at some of Thailand’s most luxurious resorts, The White Lotus featured stunning locations such as the Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort, and Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort. These resorts became stars in their own right, contributing to the series’ atmosphere and narrative. The beautiful landscapes of Thailand added an unforgettable layer to the show’s storytelling.

Each resort offers unique experiences inspired by the series, giving guests the opportunity to relax, indulge, and even engage in a bit of playful intrigue.

Those looking to connect with the island’s natural beauty can opt for the Nature and Crafts Lover experience, which takes them to Bang Rong, a traditional fishing and farming village.

Nestled along the peaceful northern shore of Koh Samui, Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort offers a wellness-driven experience called The Bophut Lotus Legacy.

The adventure continues with a visit to the Elephant Kingdom sanctuary, where guests can engage with local conservation efforts.
Afterward, guests can indulge in a relaxing, lotus-themed spa treatment for two, which includes a calming foot ritual and a 90-minute body massage using aromatic lotus oil. As the day transitions into night, a private Cocoon on the beach awaits. This exclusive dining experience features a multi-course meal in a setting as picturesque as the series itself.
