Four Seasons Koh Samui: Inside White Lotus S3 Resort

What’s The Four Seasons Koh Samui really like? Is the The White Lotus season 3 filming location really Thailand’s best resort? In my Best Hotels & Resorts in Thailand series, I’m taking you inside this jungle-meets-beach paradise—where every villa comes with a private infinity pool, service is flawless, and the ocean views go on forever. Whether you’re here for the insane setting, next-level hospitality, or just to live out your White Lotus fantasy, this is a resort that knows how to impress.

In this video, I’ll give you the full tour—from my private pool villa to the resort’s small beach, epic spa, and hilltop dining with sunset views. You’ll see exactly what it’s like to stay here, what makes it special (and what doesn’t), and whether it’s worth the serious price tag. Plus, I’ll show you a private residence for those who want to go all-out. And because I actually stayed here (no fake reviews, no glossy promo shots), you’ll get the real deal—what works, what doesn’t, and what you should know before booking.

Located on a private hillside in Laem Yai Bay, about 40 minutes from Samui Airport, the Four Seasons Koh Samui features 60 villas and private residences, each with its own infinity pool and ocean views. The resort has two restaurants, a rum-focused beach bar, a great spa hidden in the jungle, and a beach that feels like your own private island escape. It’s remote, it’s ridiculously beautiful, and yes, it’s expensive—but if you’re looking for the ultimate tropical hideaway, this might just be it.
