The hotel also includes a fully equipped spa where guests can indulge in massages, scrubs, Reiki healing, sound therapy and more. In other words, everything we see in the HBO show.
As you might expect, the hotel isn’t exactly appropriate for travellers on a budget. The cheapest prices you’ll find for the hotel’s villas and suites start at around £840 per night.
The cast of the show actually lived at the hotel while filming. “We moved location several times for filming, most of which was done at the Four Seasons,” actor Jason Isaacs told the Evening Standard. “Each of us stayed in these surreally, absurdly luxurious villas for billionaires, because that’s where our characters would have stayed.”
He added, “I didn’t enjoy staying in a villa. Those at the Four Seasons were huge and came with a butler. Each had its own pool – and I mean a proper swimming pool, not just the little dippy ones. The whole thing made me feel deeply uncomfortable and quite lonely – like I was in a gilded cage. I much preferred the smaller hotels where all we had was a bedroom.”
Meanwhile, actor Shalini Peiris told Tatler, “The nutty thing is that you’re living the White Lotus experience while you’re filming The White Lotus… It was like an incredibly privileged summer camp.”
