Anantara Thailand Resorts Set to Star in HBO's The White Lotus Season 3

Fans of The White Lotus are in for a treat as the eagerly anticipated third season of the Emmy®-winning HBO® series will feature three luxurious Anantara Thailand resorts as key filming locations. Known for their exceptional beauty, breathtaking landscapes, and distinctive settings, these resorts — Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort, Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, and Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort — have been selected to represent the stunning and culturally rich backdrop of The White Lotus Thailand.

Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort: A Tropical Paradise on the Silver Screen

Located along the pristine shores of Bophut Beach in Koh Samui, Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort is one of the island's most iconic properties. Its picturesque setting and lush, tree-lined pathways make it the perfect choice for The White Lotus Thailand. Featured locations include the stunning Thai-style lobby, the lush resort entrance, the security station, the employee parking lot, and even the resort's jewellery store.

The resort’s exceptional landscaping, which includes serene lotus ponds and a beautiful spa garden designed by renowned architect Bill Bensley, reflects Southern Thai heritage and offers guests a perfect mix of authentic Thai hospitality and breathtaking views. These picturesque elements are set to provide a beautiful, cinematic backdrop for the gripping drama and plot twists of The White Lotus.

Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort: The Singing Bird Lounge

Another standout filming location is Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort, located on the peaceful stretch of Chaweng Beach. One of the most distinctive spots featured in The White Lotus Season 3 is the resort’s Singing Bird Lounge. This incredible treehouse-style bar is nestled within the branches of a 120-year-old tree and offers panoramic views of the ocean.

Inspired by Samui's famous bird-singing contests, the lounge draws from the island’s cultural heritage, making it a key filming spot for a pivotal bar scene. Guests can enjoy handcrafted cocktails at sunset while listening to the soothing melodies of local birds, creating a one-of-a-kind atmosphere in this peaceful oasis.

Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas: The Wellness Sanctuary

Lastly, Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas will take center stage as the setting for The White Lotus’ Wellness Sanctuary, Spa, and Belinda’s Room. This tranquil resort, nestled along the untouched shores of Mai Khao Beach in Phuket, offers privacy and luxury in equal measure.

With its exclusive beachfront location and serene atmosphere, the resort’s lush surroundings are the perfect backdrop for the unfolding drama in The White Lotus. Featuring 183 villas and suites, Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas is the ultimate destination for those seeking seclusion and indulgence.

The White Lotus Season 3: A Beautiful and Cinematic Thai Setting

Filmed across several locations in Thailand, The White Lotus Season 3 showcases the country's spectacular landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and stunning architecture.
