If you ever wanted to experience The White Lotus IRL, we’ve got some good news.
Ahead of the release of The White Lotus season three, which is set to premiere in 2025, Max has teamed up with Four Seasons and showrunner Mike White to create immersive hotel experiences inspired by the Emmy-winning HBO original. The highly anticipated instalment will be set at the luxury hospitality group’s Koh Samui property in Thailand, while seasons one and two were filmed at Four Seasons locations in Maui and Taormina, respectively. For superfans who can’t wait to channel their inner Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge), the forthcoming activation will kick off at California’s Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village before expanding to outposts across the globe.
“The White Lotus has always been about blending authentic beauty and culture with compelling storytelling, which makes our partnership with Four Seasons an ideal fit,” says Pia Barlow, executive vice president of originals marketing for HBO and Max, in a statement. “As we prepare to celebrate season three, Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village provides the perfect backdrop for our global brand partnership and multi-day experience. We’re excited to create unforgettable moments that resonate both on and off the screen.”
Much like the series’s next instalment, details of the marquee experience are still largely under wraps. However, Four Seasons has confirmed that it will be “grounded in themes of the show’s third season.” If you recall, season one focused on money and power, while sex was the main motif of season two. Previously, White had teased that season three would explore spirituality and Eastern religion. Guests will get to indulge in everything from White Lotus-themed dining offerings to wellness activities. In fact, Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village just underwent a swanky revamp and added a 40,000-square-foot spa, a lush Cove Pool, and three new restaurants.
When the vacation drama makes its return next year, the series will welcome back season one alum Natasha Rothwell as Belinda Lindsey. Newcomers to the cast will include Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Michele Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, and Parker Posey. Jason Isaacs, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Aimee Lou Wood are also set to star. As for when exactly the pop-up will take place, dates and additional locations for the event have yet to be announced—but we’ll keep you posted.
