Filming locations, Koh Samui
The resort on screen does not exist
The White Lotus season 3 hotel is not one place: the look comes from five real Koh Samui resorts scattered across the island. Here is where each scene was actually shot.
The five stops
One drive, five filming locations
We pulled together the confirmed filming locations from the production's own announcements and the coverage that followed. Each resort supplied a different piece of the show, and no two sit on the same coast.

2. Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort
Its lobby, driveway and staff car park play the front of house, and its shop stands in for the robbed jewellery store.

What each resort plays
Five postcards, one per location. Turn each over for the resort behind the scene.
Season 2025
One trail, one wide scale
Line up a night at each resort and the trail runs from a handful of guesthouse rooms to dozens of villas, and from a modest nightly rate to several times that. We read every rate on the same day, straight off each resort's own site.
- 5 Am Samui Resort Taling Ngam, 6 rooms $44-84
- 2 Anantara Bophut Resort Bophut $237-579
- 4 Anantara Lawana Resort Chaweng, 122 rooms $254-354
- 3 Cape Fahn Hotel Choeng Mon from $415 no top rate published
- 1 Four Seasons Resort Laem Yai, 70 rooms $1,017-1,738
These are indicative rates read on the date we checked, not quotes. They move with season, demand and villa type, and we take no bookings and earn nothing from any of the five.

FAQ
Questions before you go looking
Did the whole season film on Koh Samui?
No. The production also shot scenes in Phuket and Bangkok. Koh Samui supplied the resort scenes and these five confirmed locations.
Can we book the villa the Ratliff family stayed in?
You can book at the resort itself, which trades under its own name and takes its own reservations. We have no affiliation with it and take no bookings ourselves.
Is there one White Lotus season 3 hotel we can visit?
No. The show's setting is built from five separate resorts on five different coasts, plus locations in Phuket and Bangkok. No single property matches everything on screen.
Are the nightly rates on this page accurate right now?
They are indicative, read from each resort's own site on the date we checked, and will have moved since. Treat them as a rough scale, not a live price.
Which resort has the treehouse bar from episode one?
That is the Singing Bird Lounge, built around a mature tree at the north end of Chaweng, at the resort in our list above.
