“The White Lotus” is gearing up for an exciting fourth season, with HBO recently confirming that the new episodes will unfold in the picturesque setting of France. The series, created by Mike White, has chosen the stunning Château de la Messardière in Saint-Tropez as its primary filming location.
This luxurious 19th-century palace, which was transformed into a high-end hotel in the 1920s, is now part of the prestigious Airelles Collection. The hotel’s owner, Stéphane Courbit, is also notable for his leadership of the Banijay Group, the production company behind popular shows such as “Survivor.” The connection between Courbit and White adds an interesting layer to the unfolding narrative of the show, particularly as White gears up to return to “Survivor” for its landmark 50th season.
Château de la Messardière provides a wealth of amenities, including spa experiences, fine dining options, and exclusive access to a private beach, making it a fitting backdrop for the series’ opulent storytelling. For those looking to stay at the hotel, accommodations during its open season from April to October can range significantly in price, with rates starting around $1,300 per night and peaking at an extraordinary $12,000 in peak summer months.
As the anticipation builds for the forthcoming season, “The White Lotus” continues to captivate audiences with its combination of dramatic storytelling and luxurious settings. With such a stunning locale, fans can expect a fresh and riveting narrative that capitalizes on the beauty and intrigue of the French Riviera.
