Another big Four Seasons clue just dropped for 'The White Lotus' season 3

The next Four Seasons to be the host hotel for HBO's "The White Lotus" may have been crowned, according to Hollywood chatter and a two-month blocked-out reservations page.

Thailand's Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui will serve as the backdrop to the third season of "The White Lotus," according to a post this week on the celebrity gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi.

But we aren't just relying on anonymous celebrity gossip for our clues.

Thailand was announced earlier this year for the show's third season, reportedly meant to explore themes of death and Eastern religion and spirituality. TPG previously gave a rundown of which Thai Four Seasons properties were in the running, including Koh Samui.

Koh Samui's star was already shining bright for its potential TV appearance. Also, the reservations page for the Four Seasons property shows the hotel isn't accepting any bookings from later this month through late March, which links up with earlier reports that production is set to begin in early February.

A Four Seasons spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by TPG, but the company was widely seen to be a shoo-in for once again being the stand-in for the fictional, ultra-luxury White Lotus hotel brand.

The Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea was the host hotel for the TV series' first season, which was filmed in late 2020 during the pandemic. Part of the appeal of the show and what prompted the initial green light for creator Mike White's idea was that it could be filmed safely in a closed-set bubble, according to White in prior interviews.

The series moved to Sicily in the second season, with San Domenico Palace, Taormina, a Four Seasons Hotel, serving as the White Lotus du jour. By this point, the series became a cultural juggernaut and vaulted Jennifer Coolidge back into legend status (though "Legally Blonde" fans among us will say she never lost said legend status).

The Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is a TPG and luxury traveler favorite. Its location on a secluded northwestern stretch of the island of Koh Samui makes this an ideal spot for some rest and relaxation away from more bustling Bo Phut, the island's popular beach town.

The property features a mix of pool villas, beachfront villas, elevated villas with panoramic ocean views and even over-the-top private residences to house an entire family. Basically, there are plenty of luxe accommodations for "White Lotus" guests to spar in, spar over in the event of an overbooking and get up to their usual ultra-one-percent melodrama.
