Lights, Camera, Vacation! Getaways Inspired by TV’s Biggest Hits

With the highly anticipated return of The White Lotus on February 16th, what better time to escape into the world of our favorite TV shows—literally?

From the tranquil Thai House Spa at Zemi Beach House in Anguilla—perfect for a White Lotus-worthy wellness retreat—to a Yellowstone-style Western escape in Fort Worth, Texas where cowboy culture comes alive, there’s a dream destination for every TV fan.

The White Lotus

Zemi Beach House – Anguilla

In the new season of The White Lotus, the series transports viewers to a lavish Thai resort where guests embark on transformative journeys amid the country’s rich cultural backdrop. A key highlight is the resort’s authentic Thai spa, offering holistic treatments that rejuvenate both body and soul. Returning character Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) hopes to bring this magic back to Maui, while the spa itself serves as a tranquil contrast to the season’s unfolding drama of secrets, deception, and financial ruin. For those seeking their own Thai-inspired escape, Anguilla’s Zemi Beach House offers a stunning alternative. Home to the 308-year-old Thai House Spa, originally built in Chiang Mai using traditional teakwood techniques, the spa was carefully transported and reassembled on the island in the 1970s. Now part of Zemi Beach House, it features five treatment suites, the island’s only Hammam, and a Juice Bar—formerly a historic rice barn. With an extensive menu of customizable treatments performed by expert Asian therapists, the Thai House Spa delivers an unparalleled wellness experience in a serene, tropical setting – without the drama that unfolds at a White Lotus.

Marriott’s Phuket Beach Club – Phuket, Thailand

Marriott’s Phuket Beach Club, part of The Marriott Vacation Clubs’ portfolio, offers an ideal escape for fans of the hit TV show White Lotus, especially with the upcoming season set in Thailand. Just steps away from Thailand’s exotic beaches, the resort provides a luxurious, private experience with spacious villas featuring separate sleeping and living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and private balconies. The property’s stunning lotus pond and symbolic lotus motifs throughout the resort make it a perfect match for fans of the show, evoking the lush, tranquil vibes of the fictional White Lotus hotels. Guests can unwind with breathtaking sunset views over the Andaman Sea, relax in one of the resort's four outdoor pools, or enjoy a peaceful soak in their spa-like bathrooms. For those looking to immerse themselves in the luxury and leisure of White Lotus—without the drama—this beachfront haven offers a serene, picturesque setting.
