KEY POINT SUMMARY – Next White Lotus
• Rumors suggest Byron Bay could host the next White Lotus
• Fake script pages and satire spark Aussie fan frenzy
• Instagram account jokes about the plot involving Greg and Belinda
• Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar back Byron Bay as a fitting setting
• HBO still favors Marrakech as the leading location for season 4
Next White Lotus Location Might Be Byron Bay, Say Fans
The next White Lotus season could be heading down under. At least, that’s what some fans believe after an Instagram account dropped a cheeky series of supposed “leaks.”
The HBO anthology series has already made stops in Hawaii, Sicily, and most recently, Thailand. Now, Australians are crossing fingers that Byron Bay could become the next exotic destination for the show’s dysfunctional elite.
Satirical ‘Spoilers’ Fuel Byron Bay Speculation
The Instagram account Lords Of Byron Bay posted a mock script and alleged plot details for the next White Lotus, naming Wategos Beach as the central location.
One supposed spoiler features Belinda — the spa manager from season 1 — finally opening her own healing center in Byron’s lush hinterland. Another twist? Greg returns by boat to visit his sugar baby tucked away in a Wategos hideout.
The post even joked that Byron Baes-style cameos could shake up the local General Store, sparking “tension.”
A follow-up photo featured a supposed internal HBO email slamming the rumor as “categorically false,” though the email itself appeared to be satire as well.
Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar Support Byron Bay
While the Instagram posts were meant as parody, some major media outlets have taken the Byron Bay theory seriously. Both Vogue Australia and Harper’s Bazaar have named the boho-chic beach town as a perfect fit for the next White Lotus.
Vogue suggested that Soma Byron Bay — the luxurious retreat featured in Nine Perfect Strangers — would be a compelling location despite not being a Four Seasons resort. Harper’s pointed to Byron’s wellness obsession, local drama, and gentrification as aligning with the show’s biting satire.
Still, Byron Bay has never hosted a Four Seasons — a requirement for past White Lotus shoots.
Marrakech or Byron? HBO Plays It Coy
The satirical buzz aside, the real frontrunner for the next White Lotus season remains Marrakech. A source from HBO told The Mail on Sunday that creator Mike White is leaning toward Africa.
“Mike wants to do a season on every continent,” the insider said. “He’s done Hawaii, Italy, and Thailand. He hates snow, so Australia or Africa makes sense. Africa is the favorite.”
According to the source, Marrakech offers the heat, mystery, and dramatic setting that White Lotus fans crave.
Meanwhile, HBO’s production deal with Four Seasons — reportedly worth $33 million — may ultimately rule Byron Bay out. No Four Seasons property currently exists in the New South Wales coastal enclave.
Fans Still Hope the Next White Lotus Comes to Australia
Despite the inside scoop pointing toward Africa, Aussie fans aren’t giving up. The idea of seeing Greg cruise from Sydney to Byron, or Belinda finally getting her healing moment, has sparked excitement, even if it all started as a joke.
Social media is already abuzz with casting wishes, dream locations, and hopes that Byron Baes drama might blend with White Lotus chaos.
So, could Byron Bay be the next White Lotus destination?
Not officially — but in the minds of fans, it already is.
