EXPERIENCING a five-star hotel, a luxury retreat or even a heritage castle is always a special indulgence, but when these places double as the filming locations of a favourite series, they become even more desirable. 'Set-jetting'—travelling to destinations seen on screen—has grown into a phenomenon, offering travellers the chance to immerse themselves in the worlds that captivated them. It's one thing to enjoy the comfort, elegance and exclusivity of a luxury stay, but stepping into a location that has played a starring role on television adds an extra layer of intrigue.

Currently, one show is tugging at this trend with unmatched fandom: the sensational HBO's Emmy-winning series, The White Lotus. This dark comedy-drama has not only gripped audiences worldwide but also sparked a surge in bookings at its filming locations. More than just a satirical take on the ultra-wealthy, the series has transformed its filming locations into travel hotspots, with Four Seasons now offering curated trips to all three of their hotels where The White Lotus was filmed!
