The dust has settled over the third installment of ‘The White Lotus’ franchise, with Thailand's sunny beaches and luxury villas having made their debut in the murder-mystery drama series.
We at Reservest could not resist the opportunity to ponder where we think the next season should take place, with a few requirements, of course. Luxury? Check. An exciting locale? Check. Somewhere wholly different from previous seasons? Check and check.
Read more to discover our suggestions for season four of ‘The White Lotus’ and where we think the next intriguing mystery should take place.
The Beautiful and the Beastly: Sleeping in the Wilderness of South Africa
What better way to add excitement and an element of danger to an already dramatic series? If the director of ‘The White Lotus’, Mike White, were to drop his characters in the home of safaris and wildlife, not only would they need to come to terms with their inner motives, but also that of prowling animals just beyond their doorstep.
The MORE Family Collection provides a host of residences and locations to choose from in the heart of the Sabie Sand Game Reserve and Marakele National Park. The Fish Eagle Residence at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge is nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in the foliage and along the Sabie River, this two-bedroom residence includes a private pool, spa and gym, as well as a personal chef and safari vehicle. An expert field guide is on hand to provide guests with keen knowledge of the surrounding bushveld and animals who reside there, via exciting walking safaris or game drives.
On the other side of the province in Marakele National Park, MORE Family Collection has set up the Marataba Game Lodges, which comprise the Safari Lodge, the Mountain Lodge and the Marataba Residence.
Looked over by mountain tops and indigenous greenery, the Safari Lodge features the Family Luxury Tents, ideal for four guests across two bedrooms who wish to live at nature’s edge at the foot of the mountainside. This retreat offers privacy in the natural world of the South African wilderness while ensuring an element of luxury in its amenities and design.
A beautiful addition to the MORE Marataba portfolio is the riverside abode Marataba Residence. Located beside the Matalabas River, this home can be discovered in the pristine wilderness of Africa and the privacy of the reserve. Wildlife wander near the home and navigate the river, while the nearby mountains paint a picture of grandeur at dusk. Four bedrooms can accommodate eight guests in the villa, the ideal escape for families wanting to combine the South African bush with luxury.
Baby, It’s Cold Outside: Drama in the Snowy Alps
Previous locations in the series have been sunny escapes to Hawaii, Italy and Thailand. Defined by sparkling waters and poolside lounging, the series has focused largely on summer vacations. But what if the characters were to go skiing down the slopes or racing in snowmobiles? Who said they couldn’t experience a snowy season?
Cue Le Chalet by Zannier Hotels. This 12-bedroom offering is ideal for a maximum of 24 guests, situated near the Mont Blanc mountain range and above the Haute-Savoie village. The architecture exudes Alpine influence, from its minimalist design to timber interiors. This charming chalet includes an open fireplace, perfect for hot cocoa on chilly evenings, and private balconies with unforgettable views. Guests can also enjoy access to the hotel’s wellness spa and a host of activities curated by the concierge.
With a similar approach to timber-inspired architecture, Virgin Limited Edition’s The Lodge is a mountain retreat in the Swiss Alps. The nine bedrooms can accommodate 18 guests, while a bunkroom is suited for six children, all providing stunning views of the valley below. The open-plan kitchen is visited by a Michelin-trained chef while guests can lounge on the terrace or take a dip in the lodge’s private heated pool.
Additional amenities include an outdoor hot tub, spa treatments, a fully equipped gym and a steam room. Every whim and desire is catered for at this luxury retreat. The mountain escape provided by Sir Richard Branson also includes a host of winter sports, such as snowboarding and skiing. This location is a dream paradise for lovers of winter activities.
