If you’ve ever watched HBO’s The White Lotus and felt the magnetic pull of its lush backdrops, you’re not alone. Beyond the biting satire and social commentary lies a love letter to wellness, beauty, and balance delivered through the unmistakable ambiance of the Four Seasons resorts. These settings aren’t just passive scenery; they’re active characters pulsing with energy, mood, and intention.
Season one takes place at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, where golden sunsets kiss the ocean and open-air design blends seamlessly with nature. Every detail here, from the subdued earth tones to the tranquil sound of water features, is curated to lower cortisol and uplift the spirit. The resort isn’t just luxurious; it’s energetically attuned. Think open-air lobbies that invite ocean breezes, native wood accents that ground the soul, and an on-site spa that offers authentic Hawaiian treatments using local botanicals.
Create the Maui Mood at Home

Season two transports us to the San Domenico Palace, Taormina, a Four Seasons hotel on the cliffs of Sicily. This converted 14th-century monastery holds its own kind of sacred energy. Stone archways, candlelit corridors, and panoramic views of the Ionian Sea create an immersive, old-world calm. Holistic travelers will appreciate the layered ambiance: timeless architecture infused with modern comforts like in-room aromatherapy, volcanic clay facials, and slow food experiences rooted in Sicilian tradition.
