Three Anantara resorts in Thailand were filming locations for the new season of the HBO® Original series The White Lotus, which is streaming now.

Locations within Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort featured in the series include its signature Thai-style lobby, security station and tree-lined resort entrance (shown top of post), employee parking lot and resort jewelry store. The Singing Bird Lounge, the treehouse-style bar nestled within the branches of a 120-year-old tree at Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort, is the setting for several key scenes. And facilities at Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas were used for The White Lotus Thailand’s Wellness Sanctuary, Spa, and Belinda’s room.
