Where Should The White Lotus Go Next? 5 Dream Locations for Season 3 and Beyond
🌍 The White Lotus World Tour: Where Should the Chaos Land Next?
If there’s one thing The White Lotus has mastered, it’s making luxurious vacations look like the most stressful experience on Earth. From the sandy shores of Hawaii (Season 1) to the dramatic Italian coastline (Season 2), each setting becomes a character of its own—exposing the absurdities of wealth, privilege, and the messy people who have too much of both.
Now, with Season 3 heading to Thailand (which already promises more murder, more satire, and more HBO-level drama), we can’t help but wonder—where should The White Lotus go next?
Picture this: a new season, a new destination, and a fresh batch of rich, entitled tourists who are one cocktail away from a breakdown. Here are five dream locations for The White Lotus Season 4 and beyond.
1. A Super Luxe Safari Lodge in Kenya 🦁
Why It’s Perfect:
We’ve seen The White Lotus tackle beach resorts, but imagine the drama that unfolds when you throw privileged, out-of-touch tourists into the wild. A five-star safari lodge in Kenya—where guests sip champagne while lions roam in the distance—feels like the ideal place for Mike White’s signature satire to thrive.
Potential Storylines:
- A tech billionaire and his influencer wife book a private “eco-friendly” safari, only to be completely unprepared for nature when they actually have to leave their air-conditioned glamping tent.
- A rich old couple arrives with their personal chef and refuses to eat any “local” food, leading to tension with the resort’s staff.
- An overenthusiastic white savior type tries way too hard to "connect" with the local Maasai guides, making everyone uncomfortable.
- Poaching? Corruption? A tourist accidentally goes missing on a game drive? The possibilities are endless.
Likelihood: 🌟🌟🌟 (3/5)
HBO loves big-budget aesthetics, and The White Lotus on safari would be an absolute flex. However, the logistics (filming in the wild, dealing with wildlife, etc.) could make this one a challenge.
2. A Mega-Rich Ski Resort in the Swiss Alps ⛷️
Why It’s Perfect:
Swap bikinis for fur coats and yachts for ski lifts. A high-end winter wonderland in the Swiss Alps—where every guest is someone with obscene amounts of old money—feels like a White Lotus dream setting. Plus, snow-covered murder mystery vibes? Chef’s kiss.
Potential Storylines:
- A group of ultra-wealthy European socialites are feuding over inheritance, and their annual family ski trip is the perfect setting for secrets to unravel.
- A self-proclaimed “minimalist” tech bro (who owns six Teslas) rants about how he’s “escaping capitalism” while casually dropping $50K on a bottle of champagne.
- A rogue ski instructor has a side hustle blackmailing his rich clients for their very messy secrets.
- Someone “accidentally” disappears on a black-diamond trail, leading to a full-blown investigation.
Likelihood: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (4/5)
Ski resorts scream old money dysfunction, and the contrast between the crisp, elegant setting and absolute human disaster would be chef’s kiss. Plus, we know Mike White loves The White Lotus to feel like a murder mystery—and an avalanche or ski accident would be the perfect cover-up.
3. A Billionaire-Only Space Retreat 🚀
Why It’s Perfect:
Alright, hear me out—The White Lotus: Space Edition. Imagine a group of ultra-wealthy elites (think Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and their rich clones) paying millions for an exclusive "space tourism experience" only to realize that money can't fix everything.
Potential Storylines:
- The guests are told it’s a “once-in-a-lifetime experience,” but the company running the retreat (definitely a parody of SpaceX) is cutting corners to save costs. Cue existential terror.
- A crypto bro convinces other guests to invest in a "Mooncoin" scheme, leading to a financial meltdown mid-orbit.
- The AI system controlling the ship starts glitching and suddenly, their ultra-luxurious space retreat turns into Survivor: Space Edition.
- When the return flight mysteriously fails, the guests are left stranded. Who really paid for the trip? And did someone plan this all along?
Likelihood: 🌟🌟 (2/5)
Look, this would be an absolutely iconic setting, but The White Lotus thrives on realism. Unless Mike White wants to make a huge jump into sci-fi satire, this one is probably too out-there. But hey, a luxury space hotel does exist now, so never say never.
4. A Mega-Yacht in the Mediterranean 🛥️
Why It’s Perfect:
Think The White Lotus meets Below Deck—but instead of reality TV chaos, we get HBO-level drama. A season set on a super-yacht cruising through the Mediterranean would take the franchise to the high seas, trapping guests together in a floating pressure cooker of entitlement and simmering resentment.
Potential Storylines:
- A young influencer couple live-streams their trip 24/7, causing drama with the ultra-private old-money guests.
- A seedy billionaire is definitely hiding some dark secrets in his offshore accounts, and a nosy journalist onboard gets too close to the truth.
- The crew (underpaid and overworked) slowly start to snap as they deal with one too many insane guest requests.
- A guest goes “missing” during a late-night party—did they fall? Or was it... something else?
Likelihood: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (5/5)
This one feels the most White Lotus. It’s rich people disaster on steroids. Plus, HBO already made The White Lotus: Italy, so filming in the Mediterranean again would be easy money.
5. A Desert Oasis Retreat in Dubai 🏜️
Why It’s Perfect:
Dubai is already a playground for the ultra-rich, and its high-end desert resorts—where guests sip gold-infused cocktails and drive supercars through the dunes—are peak White Lotus energy. The culture clash, the lavish excess, the underlying tension? It’s all there.
Potential Storylines:
- An oil tycoon’s trophy wife is quietly planning her escape while her clueless husband flaunts his wealth.
- A Western tourist gets into legal trouble for a minor offense, causing major international drama.
- The billionaire owner of the resort is running a very shady business behind closed doors.
- A blackout during a sandstorm forces everyone to actually talk to each other. Chaos ensues.
Likelihood: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (4/5)
Dubai screams The White Lotus—glamour on the surface, tension underneath. Plus, the conversations about wealth, power, and cultural clashes would be so juicy.
Where Will The White Lotus Go Next?
While we’re hyped for Season 3 in Thailand, it’s clear The White Lotus could thrive anywhere rich people go to self-destruct. If we had to bet, the Mediterranean yacht or Swiss Alps ski resort feel the most on-brand for a future season—but honestly? We’d watch any of these.
