The first season of HBO’s The White Lotus was so cool and neurotic that I was hoping for Season II. So was I ever surprised when I learned there would not only be a second season but that it would be set in Sicily!

The exact filming location is in and around the San Domenico Palace, recently acquired and restored by the Four Seasons Group. The legendary Taormina hotel, which overlooks ancient ruins and Mt. Etna, will stand in for the fictional White Lotus Resort Sicily.
