With 23 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, the HBO Original Series ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 has captivated audiences and won over critics, too. Season 3’s mix of biting satire, slow-burning suspense, and impossibly beautiful backdrops made it one of the most talked-about TV escapes of the year.
And while the tangled relationships and razor-sharp dialogue pulled viewers in, it was the setting, lush, cinematic, and unmistakably Thai, that kept them spellbound. Filmed across some of Thailand’s most luxurious resorts, ‘The White Lotus’ spotlighted Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort and Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort, which became characters in their own right.
Now, fans of the show can check in where the drama played out and live their own White Lotus moment, minus the tension, secrets, and mysterious floaters. Each resort invites guests to experience Thailand’s starring role through bespoke experiences inspired by the series, crafted for indulgence, serenity, and just a touch of mischief.
Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas
At Anantara Mai Khao, the island’s charm takes centre stage with its ‘A Cinematic Adventure’ package, a curated stay that lets guests experience the many sides of Phuket. Set along golden sands and swaying pines, this luxurious retreat offers more than just escapism: it invites personal transformation.
Guests can choose one of three immersive journeys. The Culture Enthusiast experience offers a half-day guided tour through Phuket’s vibrant heritage, from the sleek yachts of Haven Marina Café to the timeworn temples and colourful shophouses of Old Town. For those drawn to the island’s natural rhythms, the Nature and Crafts Lover path leads to the fishing and farming community of Bang Rong, where guests can try pineapple harvesting, rubber tapping, and a cruise through pristine mangroves before picnicking on a secluded sandbank island. Those seeking inner balance can opt for Lotus Awakening, a soul-soothing spa journey for two that includes a choice of Chakra Crystal Balancing or Sound Healing Therapy.
The ‘A Cinematic Adventure’ package from Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas starts from THB 20,600++.
