The White Lotus is ready to check out for another season. After seven days of ashy tomfoolery in Thailand, we will finally learn who let the chopper sing at the wellness resort, threatening our good sis Belinda and her baby boy Zion on Sunday night.
Naturally, we are rooting for everybody Black, and we want them to make their way back to the airport safe and sound.
MUST READ: Natasha Rothwell: Main Character Energy
The beloved HBO series is slightly stressful but is also eye candy. Its beautiful Four Seasons locations and intensive spa treatments are enchanting. There’s just something about watching a bunch of messy white women bicker with each other over criminals while ducking the sun that seems relaxing. Mike White’s dialogue might be dark, but the sound bowls and the herb soaks at the kind of properties he imagines are far from it.

It has us ready to plan our next vacation (hopefully somewhere incest and murder free.) Ready to sip a mimosa and hop on a massage table so you can feel like the doomed diva of Palermo? See seven wellness destinations that give ‘White Lotus’ energy. They won’t have Gaitok’s clumsiness, Victoria’s accent, Mook’s charm, or Aleksei’s audacity, but they will be just as soothing as a heart-to-heart with Chelsea.
Black Girls Travel: 7 Wellness Destinations That Give White Lotus Energy was originally published on hellobeautiful.com
1. Vila Foz Hotel & Spa – Porto, Portugal

This spa feels like the kind of tucked away villa the Ratcliffe’s stayed in before Piper derailed their vacation style. It’s soothing and right on the beach. Their prescriptive facial presents a bespoke approach to skincare that will leave you with a lasting glow. They serve a custom tea blend afterwards.
2. Palm Heights – Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

This Grand Cayman spa gives the energy of Positano in season two. Its canary-yellow umbrellas mimic the type Daphne and Harper clashed under.
Here you have to indulge in their hammam ritual. The marble slab that they lay you on is warmed by the sun via an opening in the roof. It gives a unique sensation that is different from the steam-powered hammans. The therapists tend to every part of you, but they are considerate enough to be mindful of your boho braids.
3. Nomade- Tulum, Mexico

This popular wellness resort is sparse but beautiful. They have yoga classes outdoors, like the type we see Piper participate in during season three. Do NOT skip their sound bowl sessions. They are held in an intimate space where the frequencies bounce off of every surface with little friction.
Want to share the soft life with your crew? They host groups effectively. Paradise and Vibe hosted one of their notable retreats there.
4. Copacabana Palace Spa – Rio, Brazil

The legendary hotel behind the catchy song has an impressive selection of wellness therapies. They are all designed to maximize the benefits of Brazil’s natural resources. Think Amazonian clay, guarana fruits, and powerful mineral salts. A few hours at the spa here and you will understand why it’s stood the test of time.
5. Cascada – Alberta Arts District, Portland

Arriving at a White Lotus involves leaving the US but we don’t passport shame at HB. We want all of our beautiful ones to enjoy themselves. This immersive wellness sanctuary has therapeutic hot springs. Their conservatory is 82 degrees all year long and features rare flora from around the globe. They have couple treatments as well, making it a fit for a domestic baecation.
6. Bamford Wellness Spa – 1 Hotel, Los Angeles

The 1 Hotel is consistently excellent, but the West Hollywood location is superb. Its decor feels like you descended into a luxury tree house where everyone exists to serve your needs. Their Bramford spas are no exception. Crafted by organic expert Carole Bamford their menu takes a holistic approach to face and body care taking advantage of tools like gua sha and cryotherapy. It’s no wonder so many in the entertainment industry turn to it to remain red-carpet-ready.
7. Wellness Spa – Fairmont El San Juan Hotel, Puerto Rico

Forget about choosing from four or five scents. The Well Blended Aromatherapy Scrub at the Fairmont’s San Juan property allows you to choose what essential oils you want added to a personalized body scrub. There are 75 minute and 115 minute length options, so you can enjoy your favorite fragrances as long as you like.
As a bonus? This property has a luxury nail salon that serves beverages, so you can book a pedicure to undo any chips from playing in the sun.
