The White Lotus has a reputation for corralling groups of attractive actors, giving them insufferable characters to portray, and allowing audiences to gawk at the insane situations these ultra-privileged people get themselves into.
However, aside from offering a healthy dose of drama, this series also provides viewers with stunning cinematography, partly thanks to the gorgeous The White Lotusfilming locations.
The series almost serves as a sort of subtle commercial for these destinations, too. Of course, everyone knew that Hawaii and Sicily were both stunning. But after seeing such opulent accommodations and scenery from both spots on-screen during season 1 and season 2, hotels in Hawaii and Sicily equally enjoyed increased hotel bookings.
So, now that season 3 is nearly over, it's safe to assume that plenty of fans wouldn't mind visiting the island of Koh Samui in Thailand, as portrayed by the show.
Not to burst your bubble, but we do have to make one thing clear: there isn't actually a "White Lotus Hotel" in Thailand. Instead, different parts of Season 3 were filmed at various hotels, and put together, they formed the illusion of the fictional White Lotus resort.
Even so, you can still recreate your very own glamorous trip to Thailand by figuring out which parts of the fictional resort you like the most, from the spa in the middle of a jungle to the villa where the Ratliff family resides. Just be warned that these opulent stays and excursions may come with a hefty price tag. Let's dive in.
How Much Will It Cost To Stay At Properties From The White Lotus? Keep reading to find out!

Let's begin with the Anantara Hotels, which account for multiple major locations in season 3. First, the gorgeous spa where Rick has his first stress-management session with Dr. Amrita is at Anantara Mai Khao Phuket, which is about a one-hour plane ride away from Koh Samui. Belinda's hotel room is also at this location, and in real life, a one-night stay costs about $320.

Meanwhile, a different Anantara location, specifically Anantara Bophut Koh Samui, stands in for the lobby, jewelry store, driveway, security station, and employee parking lot. As for the treetop bar where characters enjoy lavish meals, that's actually known as The Singing Bird Lounge at Anantara Lawana Koh Samui.
Staying at the former can run tourists between $254 and $701 per night, depending on the room they choose. Accommodations at the latter begin at $208 per night.

It's worth noting that Anantara actually offers a The White Lotus experience known as the "Lotus Awakening Escape." Starting at $1,757, travelers can enjoy a four-night stay for two, which begins in Phuket and concludes in Koh Samui. Throughout your stay, you will be served on-theme meals and drinks, receive spa treatments, and even get to go on a half-day Phuket tour.
There are two other hotels that account for major backdrops in the show's latest season: Rosewood Phuket and Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.
Remember when Belinda attempted to confront Greg/Gary while he was dining outside? That was at the luxury Rosewood Phuket hotel, and rooms there begin at a whopping $1,100 per night. Still, dining at Tai Khai could be a more feasible dining experience for visitors.
The restaurant's menu shifts to reflect the seasons, and there are two different three-course menu "sets" that patrons can choose from. The first costs $54, while the second is $64.

Finally, the Ratliff family and the group of three women (Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie) are all staying in stunning villas located at none other than the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. The hotel also served as the backdrop in various scenes this season, supplying Rick's hotel room, the breakfast and lunch eateries, the pool, the beach, the boxing ring, the spirit house, and other common areas.
But while fans of The White Lotus might want to visit this filming destination the most, it's extremely expensive. A three-bedroom family villa, like the Ratliff's accommodations, costs approximately $10,500 per night; meanwhile, a two-bedroom villa is about $8,500 per night. And even for a regular hotel room, guests will have to cough up around $1,900 for a one-night stay.
