The fourth installment of the hit HBO anthology, The White Lotus 4, is heading to the French Riviera, promising a sun-drenched satire of the ultra-wealthy. While the location is now confirmed, the potential overlap with a legendary film festival suggests a season filled with even more vanity than its predecessors.

The production has secured a historic luxury palace that serves as the ultimate playground for the billionaire elite.

As reported by Variety, the series, The White Lotus 4, will center its production at the Château de La Messardière, a sprawling luxury estate located in the heart of Saint-Tropez. This nineteenth-century palace-turned-hotel is situated on thirty-two acres of lush Mediterranean landscape, featuring cypress trees and fragrant jasmine.

It belongs to the prestigious Airelles Collection, offering the kind of exclusivity that has become a hallmark of the series. The resort provides extravagant amenities, including private Rolls-Royce transfers to the beach. Such a setting provides the perfect backdrop for Mike White to explore the entitlement of his newest group of characters.

As reported by Variety, even if the hotel serves as the primary hub, the production will likely utilize multiple venues to capture the full essence of the Côte d’Azur. The contrast between the serene estate and the chaotic lives of the guests will likely drive the season narrative.
