Here's How Much It Costs To Stay At The ‘White Lotus' Hotel

HBO's The White Lotus shares a behind-the-scenes look at how rich people vacation, while pulling back the curtain on how messy their lives actually are. But as you're marveling over Victoria Ratliff's lorazepam use or Rich Hatchett's constant grumpiness, it's hard to miss the fact that the hotel they're staying at is stunning.
Guests hang out next to an inviting pool that's surrounded by lush landscaping, and the villas are next-level luxurious. While it's fair to assume that all that opulence comes with a hefty price tag in real life, it's equally tempting to want to book your own White Lotus experience (minus the drama, of course) or even just lust over the real hotel room listings.
So, where was The White Lotus filmed? There was a main location and a few other spots pieced together to create a full season 3 experience. Here's the deal.
Most of The White Lotus season 3 was filmed in Koh Samui, according to Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns HBO. Koh Samui is Thailand's second-largest island after Phuket, and it's packed with luxury hotels.
The bulk of production took place at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, which was renamed the White Lotus Resort & Spa for filming. (Worth noting: Seasons 1 and 2 of the show were also filmed at Four Seasons resorts.)
'Here, you can spend your days exploring pristine sandy beaches bordered by tropical greenery and calm blue seas, lounging by our infinity pool with a cool drink, or relaxing on your private deck overlooking the idyllic Gulf of Siam—all with every imaginable comfort,' the hotel's website reads.
The hotel features several restaurants, your choice of luxury villas, a spa, and a fitness center.
The White Lotus' bar is actually located at a different resort—the Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort. (That bar is called the Singing Bird Lounge, FYI.) The White Lotus' lobby, driveway, and jewelry store are at the Anatara Bophut Koh Samui, another hotel on the island.
But the White Lotus' dinner restaurant is at another resort on an entirely different island, the Rosewood Phuket.
Naturally, all of these are five-star hotels (Victoria Ratliff made it clear she wouldn't have it any other way). And, with that, a stay at one of these places isn't cheap.
While prices for each resort vary depending on the time of year you travel and how long you stay, you're looking at forking over anywhere from $1,880 (for a poolside villa) to $14,593 per night (for a five-bedroom residence with a private pool) at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.
Is it cheap? No. But honestly, would you expect anything less from a hotel swanky enough to be The White Lotus?
