Location for The White Lotus Season 4 Production
The highly-anticipated fourth season of The White Lotus is set to explore new horizons, with Europe being the favored continent for filming, according to HBO executives and showrunner Mike White.
While the exact European location remains undecided, the creators have hinted at a move away from the coastal settings seen in previous seasons, suggesting they might choose a more inland or less stereotypically coastal location.
France is rumored to be a top contender, appearing on betting lists as a likely choice[1]. However, Norway seems unlikely due to the absence of a Four Seasons hotel, a key partner for the series, and Mike White’s dislike of cold climates[2].
As of mid-2025, location scouting for season 4 is still in its early stages, with scouting expected to begin over the summer[3]. The production aims to choose a location that could benefit economically from the show’s presence, indicating a potential interest in lesser-known or smaller destinations rather than major cities.
In the past, The White Lotus has filmed at Four Seasons Resorts in Hawaii, Maui, and Koh Samui in Thailand, and at San Domenico Palace, a Four Seasons Hotel in Italy for seasons one and two respectively[4]. HBO and the Four Seasons have formalized a partnership, ensuring that future seasons will continue to film at the resorts.
