Koh Samui, Thailand’s favourite coconut-speckled island, has recently become the centre of attention thanks to the filming of the third season of HBO's hit series, "The White Lotus". The television series has captivated audiences worldwide and sparked a tourism boom as fans flock to experience the luxury and drama firsthand.
Season three of "The White Lotus" was primarily filmed at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. Nestled in the northwest corner of the island, the resort boasts breathtaking Gulf of Thailand views, jungle landscapes, and traditional southern Thai architecture, making it the perfect backdrop for fantastical and somewhat dramatic storylines.Â
The impact of "The White Lotus" on tourism in Koh Samui is undeniable. The show has inspired a phenomenon known as "set-jetting," where viewers travel to destinations featured in their favourite shows. As a result, Koh Samui has seen a significant increase in search and booking interest, with many travellers eager to experience the luxury, beauty and drama showcased in the series.
The Peaceful Sanctuary of The Headland Samui
While the glamour of "The White Lotus" filming locations draws many set-jetters to Koh Samui, there is a handful of secluded spots that offer a much more tranquil and traditional island experience. The Headland, located in the calm Baan Taling Ngam area, is a luxury sanctuary of complete peace with effortlessly discreet service. The private villa development provides an undisturbed luxury experience tucked far away from the bustling tourist areas.
