Scoring a table at soup dumpling institution Din Tai Fung anywhere in the world comes with hurdles. It might be waiting for your number to pop up on the screen outside Taipei’s four-story Xinsheng Branch, queueing up outside the Santa Clara, California, one, or fighting for an online reservation at midnight for the New York City outpost. But there’s one way to seamlessly enjoy your own private meal—on board the airline EVA Air.

While we may not want to live the lives of The White Lotus cast (murder mysteries are much more fun on our televisions), we definitely wouldn’t say no to living in some of the properties featured on the show. The gorgeous, impressive, and opulent Four Seasons Koh Samui, which poses as Thailand’s White Lotus outpost, continues to wow throughout the season, and is very much worth a visit whether or not you’re interested in walking in the footsteps of Victoria (Parker Posey) or Timothy (Jason Isaacs). The Anantara Mai Khao Phuket is also on the list of places where White Lotus was filmed—it’s the location of Belinda’s (Natasha Rothwell) Wellness Centre. Now, there’s another place to add to the list if you’re looking to make a White Lotus–themed itinerary with impeccable stays.

Kaley Cuoco has traveled to some of the dreamiest destinations around the world for work, including Thailand to film the first season of Max’s Flight Attendant, which premiered in 2020, and Berlin for the 2024 Prime Video movie «Role Play.» But of all the beautiful places she's traveled for work, Iceland was her favorite.

A traveler’s suitcase tells their story long before they get where they’re going—just ask Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya McQuoid, whose lavender-and-orange monkey print arrival ensemble became as memorable as her final, fateful plunge. For three seasons, The White Lotus costume designer Alex Bovaird has turned the show into a mandatory primer in resort wear psychology, where every unbuttoned shirt and oversized sunhat reveals more about its wearer than their room preference. From Tanya's scene-stealing caftans (may they rest in peace) to those crisp staff uniforms that stay starched even as their wearer’s lives unravel around them, Bovaird's costumes aren't just clothes—they're spoilers with sleeves. Now, as the show trades Sicily's sun-soaked melodrama for Thailand's spiritual awakening, we caught up with the Emmy-nominated designer to discuss how she crafts the show's distinctive look, her journey from fashion industry jobs to Hollywood, and why you should never, ever pack sweatpants for a luxury vacation. Though given the show's track record, perhaps comfortable shoes for running away from trouble wouldn't hurt.
