Breathtaking hill forts and palaces like Mehrangarh, Amber Fort and the City Palace Museum offer a stunning backdrop, perfect for a story steeped in opulence, allure and drama. India’s grandeur, mystique and sensory overload lend themselves beautifully to The White Lotus’ next chapter.
Six Senses Fort Barwara
Showcasing lavish suites and expansive courtyards, Six Senses Fort Barwara is a former royal Rajasthani residence transformed into an exquisite hotel. Evoking the opulence of a bygone era, this 14th-century fort impresses from the moment you arrive, with its castle-like exteriors and richly detailed interiors.

Egypt
A hauntingly beautiful blend of ancient mystique and modern luxury, Egypt feels destined for a season of The White Lotus. Soaring pyramids and majestic landscapes like the Nile River and the Valley of the Kings set the stage for a season steeped in intrigue and excess.
InterContinental Cairo Semiramis, an IHG Hotel
Set along the banks of the Nile, this five-star Egyptian oasis offers the perfect balance of adventure and indulgence, where guests can explore ancient wonders by day and sip poolside cocktails by night. With amenities like a sprawling pool and a luxurious spa, there’s no shortage of opportunities for character-driven drama.
Africa
Setting The White Lotus in Africa would introduce vast, untamed beauty and a rich tapestry of cultures to the series. As a continent of immense scale and diversity, with each country offering its own traditions, landscapes and histories, the storytelling possibilities are endless. Deep-rooted practices like prayer, dance and storytelling could infuse the season with spirituality and mystery in ways the show has yet to explore. From sweeping savannahs and dense rainforests to bustling cities and breathtaking wildlife, Africa offers an extraordinary and multifaceted stage for shaping the drama of season four.

Framed by dramatic mountains and vast, untamed landscapes, this sanctuary provides a setting rich in both seclusion and cinematic drama.
Australia
In a country as large as Australia, the juxtaposition of diverse landscapes and cosmopolitan cities makes for endless possibilities. Australia’s unique beauty could amplify the show’s tension and complex dynamics, while striking scenery like the outback would elevate the story and make for an excellent season – think kangaroos, rugged bushland and quirky characters.
