HBO has confirmed that Season 4 of Mike White’s hit show will be filmed at Château de la Messardière, a 19th-century castle hotel overlooking the Saint-Tropez Bay. Set on 32 acres of parasol pines, cypress trees, and jasmine, the French Riviera landmark offers sweeping views of Ramatuelle’s vineyards, the glittering beaches of Pampelonne, and the pastel curve of Saint-Tropez itself – an effortlessly decadent backdrop for the series’ next chapter of privilege, power, and unraveling secrets. Part of the Airelles Collection, Château de la Messardière is steeped in old-world romance and modern excess. The estate once belonged to Gabriel Dupuy d’Angeac, a 19th-century cognac merchant who gifted the château to his daughter Louise as a wedding present – a legacy that now unfolds through manicured gardens, grand terraces, and a hospitality offering that includes a spa, multiple restaurants, extensive sports facilities, and private beach access via Rolls-Royce transfer.

Production is slated to begin at the end of April and continue through October 2026, with additional locations in Paris expected to feature in the season. Adding to the intrigue, rumors suggest the Cannes Film Festival may play into the plot, a meta flourish that would place The White Lotus squarely at the intersection of fame, fantasy, and French excess. Casting news has only heightened anticipation. AJ Michalka and Alexander Ludwig are confirmed to appear in the new season, joining the ever-evolving ensemble that has helped cement the HBO series as both a cultural phenomenon and a luxury travel tastemaker. From Hawaii to Sicily and now Saint-Tropez, The White Lotus continues its globe-trotting tour of beautiful places where things inevitably go wrong.

Beyond its screen appeal, Château de la Messardière is also one of the French Riviera’s most coveted wedding venues. With panoramic terraces overlooking Saint-Tropez Bay and discreet five-star service, the property offers a cinematic setting for ultra-luxury destination celebrations. From sunset ceremonies above the Pampelonne coastline to intimate receptions framed by vineyard views, it delivers the kind of old-world romance – and modern indulgence – that feels tailor-made for a White Lotus-level affair.
