Season 4 of HBO's hit comedy-drama The White Lotus is reported to be set in France.
Following the sun-soaked drama of Hawaii, the Mediterranean elegance of Sicily, and the tropical intrigue of Thailand, the series now looks poised for its most sophisticated chapter yet.
Bringing creator Mike White’s trademark mix of tension and dark humour to one of the world’s most coveted destinations, the French setting promises a fresh blend of glamour and intrigue that’s already exciting fans and luxury travellers alike.
The French Connection
France feels like a natural progression for the anthology series, which has consistently captured the essence of luxury hospitality in strikingly different cultural settings.
Locations such as Cap-Ferrat, Paris, and Megève are rumoured to be under consideration—each offering its own brand of sophistication and joie de vivre.
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat: Mediterranean Elegance
Jutting out into the Mediterranean between Nice and Monaco, Cap-Ferrat is one of the Riviera’s most exclusive enclaves.
Known for its pine forests, Belle Époque villas, and sweeping sea views, the peninsula has long been a discreet retreat for aristocrats, artists, and jet-setters seeking privacy without sacrificing proximity to the glamour of Cannes, Antibes, and the Côte d’Azur at large.
Its combination of natural beauty and refined elegance makes it a quintessential slice of French luxury.
At the very tip lies the legendary Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons property that has defined Riviera sophistication for over a century. Hosting royalty, Hollywood stars, and discerning travellers alike, the hotel pairs Michelin-starred dining and a world-class spa with panoramic vistas of the Mediterranean.
It’s easy to see why such a setting would be considered a natural stage for The White Lotus’s signature blend of beauty, tension, and intrigue. Famous hotels may grab the headlines, but for travellers seeking the ultimate French escape, private villas offer a world of luxury, privacy, and bespoke experiences waiting to be discovered.
Villa O: A stunning glass-fronted villa perched 100 metres above Cap Ferrat with panoramic Mediterranean views. Features two pools including a rooftop infinity pool, plus 4,500m² of lavender-lined gardens.
The property has a dedicated cinema, outdoor gym with hammam, and multiple dining spots from intimate terraces to spaces for 16 guests. Located just a 5-minute walk from the charming St Jean harbour and village.
Best to Visit: Best experienced from late spring through early autumn, when the Mediterranean climate showcases the region at its most alluring.

Explore France’s coveted villas and chalets where the show’s glamour comes alive.
Megève: Alpine Sophistication
Megève in the heart of the French Alps presents an entirely different but equally compelling backdrop. This charming ski resort town represents the epitome of Alpine luxury, where cobblestone streets meet snow-capped peaks.
The potential for a winter season of The White Lotus adds an intriguing dimension, offering viewers—and future travellers—a glimpse into France’s mountain luxury scene.
Megève’s Four Seasons property would provide an intimate, chalet-style luxury experience, complete with world-class skiing, gourmet mountain cuisine, and that particular brand of Alpine hospitality that makes French ski resorts legendary.
Beyond the bustling slopes and charming village streets, Megève’s private chalets provide a secluded retreat where Alpine elegance meets personalised luxury.
Chalet Ultima Megève: This 8-bedroom chalet doesn’t mess about; it has its own nightclub, indoor pool, and helipad. After a day on the slopes, you can hit the spa, then literally party in your own private club. It’s designed for groups who want everything without leaving the property.
Chalet Izoard: Ski straight from your door onto Mont d’Arbois slopes, then choose between the indoor or outdoor pool for après-ski. This 7-bedroom chalet sits right next to the Four Seasons, so you get slope access plus five-star dining options. The mountain views from the top floors are pretty spectacular too.
Le Chalet Privé: A 7-bedroom chalet that’s secretly connected to a luxury hotel. You get your own private space with spa facilities and wine cellar, but can sneak next door for hotel-level service whenever you want. It’s close enough to walk into Megève village but feels completely secluded.
Best to Visit: Winter transforms Megève into a snowy paradise, whilst summer reveals alpine meadows and mountain adventures.
Paris: Luxury Around Every Corner
Paris, the City of Light, has long captivated travellers with its timeless elegance, world-class art, historic architecture, and vibrant culinary scene.
From charming cobblestone streets and iconic landmarks to chic boutiques and hidden gardens, the city offers a sophisticated playground for those seeking culture, luxury, and unforgettable experiences.
Amid this urban splendour, the Hotel George V stands as an Art Deco masterpiece near the Champs-Élysées, epitomising Parisian luxury.
Its opulent interiors, Michelin-starred dining, and impeccable service make it a fitting setting for the intrigue and drama of The White Lotus, promising a season steeped in the cosmopolitan charm and refinement only Paris can provide.
In the heart of the City of Light, luxury takes on a personal touch. Paris’ private residences offer an exclusive blend of style, comfort, and insider access to the city’s finest experiences.
Maison Montespan: A sophisticated 5-bedroom townhouse near Trocadéro with a heated indoor pool that converts into a cinema. The rooftop terrace has a summer kitchen and city views, whilst one entire floor can be dedicated to children. Located just minutes from the metro and a 12-minute walk to the Eiffel Tower gardens.
Trocadero Penthouse: This 5-bedroom penthouse features a massive 100m² rooftop terrace with direct Eiffel Tower views and a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen. The master bedroom opens directly onto the terrace and has a jacuzzi under a glass ceiling. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout offer panoramic city views including La Défense.
La Reserve 3-Bedroom Eiffel Apartment: A stylish apartment right on Place du Trocadéro with Eiffel Tower views from the balcony. Comes with full access to La Reserve Paris Hotel’s 5-star amenities including the spa, Michelin two-starred restaurant, and dedicated butler service. The perfect blend of private apartment living with luxury hotel perks.
Best to Visit: Magnificent year-round, though spring and early autumn offer the most pleasant weather for exploring the city’s countless treasures.
