A stay in a star filming location

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a hotel where The White Lotus was filmed, picture this: You’re scuba diving in the warm, pristine waters of the Gulf of Thailand, the scene lit by tropical sunshine filtering through the waves. The serenity of this underwater experience is matched by an afternoon spent sunbathing on the nearby shore, a flawless white-sand beach at the heart of the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.

Situated on the northwest side of the island (a quick 30-minute ride from Samui International Airport), the luxury property is nestled between lush green jungle and azure sea, the perfect spot for beach bums and water babies alike. It’s no wonder its beauty caught the attention of HBO producers, who chose it as the primary filming location for The White Lotus season three.

No planning ahead is required here: Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui has all the requisite equipment, whether you’re looking to perfect your scuba skills, try kayaking, wakeboarding, flyboarding, banana boating, or paddleboarding around the Gulf (all non-motorized equipment is complimentary). If you want to feel the wind in your hair, hop on a Jet Ski and careen around the postcard setting.

But if you prefer playtime with the sand beneath your feet, join (or, indeed, start) a game of beach volleyball or soccer. For a more unusual activity, grab some colored coconuts to play a tropically tinged version of the French game of pétanque on the common beach. And if you want to skip the saltwater at any time, you can take a dip in the beachfront infinity pool.

This close harmony with the natural surroundings is woven through the design of the resort. Bill Bensley, the property’s visionary architect, was determined to keep the hillside’s natural landscape intact, and even managed to preserve each of the 800-plus coconut trees that formed an orchard on the site prior to the hotel opening—hence the occasional palm in the middle of a pool, or emerging through the deck of one of the 11 private villas.

So, whether your joy comes from peacefully sinking into the natural beauty all around you, or making a splash on a water-bound adventure, this is the perfect place to discover Koh Samui.

Best hotel in Koh Samui. They loved and cared for our baby during her 1st birthday celebration. Team was excellent and reflects the standards of the Four Seasons.
Nadeem, 6-night family trip 


The experience was unforgettable, the way the rooms were built in the mountains, adapting to and respecting nature. The views from the hotel of the ocean and sky were breathtaking. The staff was outstanding, friendly and polite. The food at the restaurants was delicious, fresh and perfectly presented.
