If you also want to get your pasta vongole with giant clams, go on a vespa ride and have your Italian dream come true like Tanya McQuoid did in season 2, then… Benvenuto a Sicilia, “you’ve never seen a freak show like this!’’.
3,2,1… action!
Picture this: a luxurious Sicilian resort, dramatic cliffside views, and a cast of characters unraveling their secrets under the Mediterranean sun. Sounds like a dream, right? The result? A tourism boom that turned Sicily into the ultimate set-jetting destination.
Cut! Boooooring. We need more action! From the top, please.
This was just the trailer. We know you can’t wait to step into the drama-filled world of The White Lotus Season 2 and the star of the show – Sicily.
1. San Domenico Palace, Taormina
The luxurious Four Seasons San Domenico Palace became the hottest ticket in town. With its cliffside views and opulent interiors, it’s no wonder this hotel was fully booked for months after the show aired. Rooms with seaside views were selling for €3,000 a night, and the hotel was fully booked for six months. Suddenly, everyone wanted a slice of Sicilian luxury, complete with a side of drama and Aperol spritz. Pro tip: Book early—this spot is hotter than a Sicilian summer!
2. Taormina’s Ancient Theatre
This iconic Greek Amphitheatre offered the perfect dramatic backdrop for the Di Grasso family’s storyline. Imagine sitting in those ancient stone seats, soaking in views of Mount Etna and the sparkling Ionian Sea.
3. Noto Cathedral
The Baroque beauty of Noto took centre stage during Daphne and Harper’s day trip. With its golden-hued streets and stunning architecture, it’s like stepping into a postcard (or a movie set).
Cut! I need more background action!
4. Cefalù Beach
The sandy shores of Cefalù were the setting for the show’s opening and closing scenes. Picture yourself lounging on the beach with the Norman Cathedral towering in the background. Pure bliss!
5. Castello degli Schiavi, Flumefreddo
This historic castle, famous for its role in The Godfather, made a cameo in the Di Grasso family’s outing. It’s a must-visit for movie buffs and history lovers alike.
Cut! Hold for sound!
6. Villa Tasca, Palermo
The neoclassical Villa Tasca hosted the show’s lavish party scene. Think frescoes, Murano chandeliers, and lush gardens—perfect for channeling your inner Tanya McQuoid.
7. Villa Elena, Noto
This 17th-century monastery served as Quentin’s palazzo, adding a touch of historic elegance to the series. It’s the ultimate spot for a dose of Baroque charm.
8. Mount Etna
Europe’s highest active volcano provided a dramatic backdrop throughout the season. Whether you’re hiking its slopes or admiring it from afar, Mount Etna is a natural wonder you can’t miss. Imagine the view if it erupts—insane(ly) dramatic!
Here comes the Martini shot!
9. Isola Bella, Taormina
This tiny island nature reserve is featured in scenes with Meghann and Ethan. Its crystal-clear waters and lush greenery make it a paradise for nature lovers.
10. Lungomare Giuseppe Giardina, Cefalù
The seafront promenade in Cefalù offered stunning views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It’s the perfect spot for a sunset stroll—or a dramatic moment à la The White Lotus.
