If you’ve ever watched The White Lotus and thought, “I need to be there”—you’re not alone. With its sweeping coastal views, dramatic architecture, and utterly indulgent settings, the hit HBO series has done more than captivate audiences with intrigue and satire—it’s reignited our collective desire for ultra-luxury travel.

Luckily, you don’t need to be part of a cast ensemble to live out your own cinematic escape. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a milestone trip, or simply craving a once-in-a-lifetime getaway, let’s explore how you can experience the Mediterranean magic of The White Lotus—in real life.

Perched on a cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea, the real-life hotel behind Season 2’s drama is none other than the San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel. It’s everything you imagined and more: a 14th-century monastery transformed into a five-star sanctuary of elegance, with terraced gardens, ancient stone cloisters, and breathtaking views of Mount Etna.

From sun-drenched breakfasts in the courtyard to aperitivo hours beside the infinity pool, every moment here feels like a scene straight from the screen—only this time, you’re the star. Private suites with sweeping views, Michelin-starred dining, and access to Sicily’s rich cultural tapestry make this the ultimate luxury base for your Mediterranean dream.

I work closely with this property and others like it to ensure my clients enjoy exclusive perks, VIP treatment, and seamless experiences from the moment they arrive.

If you’re craving that White Lotus feeling—romantic sunsets, indulgent meals, and dramatic backdrops—but want to explore beyond Sicily, the Mediterranean is your oyster. Here are a few of my favorite destinations that capture the same essence of elevated escape:

Amalfi Coast, Italy – Chic cliffside towns like Positano and Ravello offer cinematic beauty and world-renowned hospitality. Private boat to Capri? Consider it done.

• French Riviera – From Èze to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the Côte d’Azur delivers old-world glamour with modern luxury at its finest.

Each destination offers not just luxury accommodations but experiences: think private yacht charters, curated tastings with winemakers, guided tours through ancient ruins, or simply soaking in the sun at a cliffside spa with a glass of something sparkling in hand.
