Mike White’s acclaimed series is set to continue its captivating story on the stunning French Riviera, with the opulent palace-hotel in Saint-Tropez as the focal point.
As Mike White, the creator of *The White Lotus*, puts the finishing touches on the script for season four, fresh information about the filming location has surfaced. Departing from the exotic locales featured in earlier seasons, this new installment will be situated in one of Europe’s most prestigious and glamorous resort destinations.
### Primary Setting: Château de la Messardière in Saint-Tropez
The fourth season will primarily take place at **Château de la Messardière**, a historic 19th-century palace-hotel nestled in Saint-Tropez on the famed French Riviera. This luxurious estate is surrounded by a sprawling 13-hectare park abundant with pine trees, cypresses, and fragrant jasmine, offering an exquisite backdrop for the series.
Part of the exclusive Airelles Collection, the hotel perfectly aligns with the high-end aesthetic and prestige that fans have come to expect from *The White Lotus*.
### Ownership and Unmatched Luxury
Owned by **Stéphane Courbit**, founder and CEO of the Banijay Group—a major media empire behind international hits including *Peaky Blinders*—the hotel exemplifies luxury at its finest.
Room rates underscore its elite status, starting at around $3,000 per night and reaching upwards of $8,000. Guests enjoy top-tier amenities such as a spa, gourmet restaurants, various sports facilities, a kids’ club, and a private beach accessible by Rolls-Royce transportation.
### Filming Schedule and Expanded Locations
Sources reveal that filming for season four is planned from **late April through late October**. True to the series’ tradition, the storyline won’t be confined solely to one site.
Mike White, known for crafting immersive atmospheres with rich visual storytelling, intends to shoot scenes across multiple locations along the Côte d’Azur. Additionally, select sequences will be filmed at a Parisian hotel, broadening the season’s geographical scope and enhancing its visual diversity.
### Plot Details Remain Under Wraps
Plot specifics for the new season remain tightly guarded. It is confirmed, however, that the narrative will once again revolve around a group of guests and hotel staff over the course of one week—a structure that has become a hallmark of the series.
Insiders suggest the possibility of the **Cannes Film Festival** playing a role in the storyline, which would naturally complement the French Riviera setting and provide fertile ground for the social tensions and complex interactions characteristic of *The White Lotus*.
No official premiere date for season four has been announced yet. Fans eagerly await further updates as production progresses.
