Koh Samui: The White Lotus Tour

Your guide to filming locations for White Lotus Season 3

If you’re a fan of The White Lotus TV show, you might have found yourself daydreaming about escaping to a tropical paradise while watching Season 3. Well, good news: the show’s latest season was filmed extensively on Koh Samui, and it’s basically a travel wishlist waiting to happen. From luxurious resorts to jungle hideaways and bustling night markets, the series makes the island itself feel like a main character.

Here’s a closer look at the key Koh Samui spots featured in the show—and some tips on how you can experience them yourself.

Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui

The Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui served as the central luxury backdrop for the season, and it’s easy to see why. Nestled amidst lush jungle greenery with stunning ocean views, the resort offers private villas, infinity pools, and serene gardens. Watching the characters wander around these dreamy surroundings, you’ll want to book the next flight just to lounge poolside with a cocktail in hand. It’s the epitome of tropical luxury.

Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort

The elegant Anantara Bophut made appearances for scenes set in a lobby, a chic jewelry store, and some entrance sequences. Even if you’re not a fan of high drama, strolling through its beautifully designed spaces—complete with traditional Thai touches and modern elegance—is worth it.

Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort

If you loved the bar scenes, you’ll recognize The Singing Bird Lounge at Anantara Lawana. With stylish interiors and a relaxing, upscale vibe, it’s the perfect spot to unwind in style—or imagine yourself in a secret White Lotus rendezvous.

Fisherman’s Village

This lively area is the beating heart of Koh Samui’s nightlife, and the show really brought it to life in a spectacular Songkran water fight scene. The Fisherman’s Village night market is a must-visit: think colorful stalls, street food aromas, live music, and a sense of energy that’s utterly contagious.

Choeng Mon Beach

For serene beach shots, the production headed to Choeng Mon Beach. With soft golden sand and turquoise waters, it’s the kind of place where time seems to stand still. Nearby, a private villa (Villa Jacinta) was also used in the series, giving those scenes an extra touch of exclusivity.

The Red Baron Boat

Early in the season, you might have noticed the striking Red Baron boat ferrying guests to the resort. Whether arriving by land or sea, this unique vessel adds a sense of adventure and glamour to the opening episodes—plus, it’s a reminder that Koh Samui is all about that perfect blend of relaxation and fun.

Wat Pu Khao Thong / Buddhist Monastery

For a quieter, more spiritual moment, the show featured Wat Pu Khao Thong, a local Buddhist monastery. The serene temple and its peaceful surroundings offer a glimpse into Thai culture and are perfect for reflection—or for some incredible photos if you’re visiting.

While the show also filmed a few scenes in Phuket and Bangkok, it’s Koh Samui that steals the spotlight this season. Whether you’re a devoted fan of The White Lotus or just in search of your next tropical escape, these locations offer the ultimate mix of luxury, adventure, and culture.
