As White Lotus transports us to Thailand this season, it’s hard not to draw parallels between the show’s breathtaking backdrop and some of Thailand’s most stunning resorts.
In The White Lotus Season 3 premiere, we meet the Ratliff family and a trio of lifelong friends—Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie—who all stay in beautiful multi-room villas overlooking the ocean. Trisara, located on Phuket's northwestern coastline, offers expansive ocean-facing pool villas and private residences ranging from two to nine bedrooms, perfect for those looking to step into a scene straight out of White Lotus. Each villa boasts infinity pools, expansive decks, and luxurious interiors.
The show's third season also delves into themes of wellness and self-discovery, with fan-favorite Belinda making a highly anticipated return. Kamalaya Koh Samui, a world-renowned wellness sanctuary nestled on the coastline of Koh Samui, the island White Lotus was filmed on, embodies this focus on holistic well-being. Offering a range of programs, including a new Brain Enhancement Wellness Program, Kamalaya provides an environment where guests embark on a rejuvenating journey like no other that even Belinda would find inspiring. Kamalaya also translates as Lotus (Kamal) Realm (alaya) in the ancient language of Sanskrit, symbolizing the unfolding of the human spirit.
