The first season of "The White Lotus" was filmed primarily at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, located on the island of Maui in Hawaii. The series used the resort's real lobby, pools, restaurants, and spa. Key filming spots included the resort grounds and nearby Wailea Beach, which was shown as White Lotus Beach in the series. Some scenes were also filmed at Olowalu Landing beach and Kahului Airport on Maui. The cast and crew stayed on-site during filming because of COVID-19 restrictions, creating an immersive filming bubble.
