8 Thai Resorts Like The One In Season 3 Of "The White Lotus"

This is the real resort where the series was filmed! You’ll be treated to gorgeous views of the Gulf of Thailand, lush greenery and pristine sandy beaches, minus all the tomfoolery of the show. Your choice of accommodations are villas and private residences, some with private pools and decks. Amenities include an infinity pool, a spa with premium treatments, gourmet dining and beach activities.

In a private bay at the island’s northern tip on a former coconut plantation sits 58 acres of resort featuring suites and villas. There’s lots to do onsite, including Muay Thai boxing classes, spa treatments, Thai cooking classes, two beaches and an infinity pool. Divers can enjoy a technicolor reef with so many fish, and then you can jump into the ocean swimming pool, the only one in Thailand.

Another Four Seasons Resort, this one is in Northern Thailand, surrounded by emerald rice fields. Of course, there’s yoga with an in-house yogi and fine dining at the resort’s restaurants. Villas and residences have plunge pools and views of rice paddy fields.

For something different, this resort is nestled in the jungle, not on beachfront property. Lush greenery in the hillsides of Kamala, Phuket surrounds you, far from the crowds but also near Kamala beach when you need an ocean swim. The focus is on holistic wellness with yoga, an opulent pool for relaxation, and delicious food. Each of the 38 villas and cottages is inspired by the ancient legends of four fictional clans with options like a Bird’s Nest room, villas, pool cottages, tent pool villas and elevated tree pool houses.
