As Season 3 of The White Lotus captivates us with its drama and decadence, we’re bringing the allure of Koh Samui to London with some exciting collaborations. From luxurious afternoon teas to exotic outfits, you can now live like the Ratliff family—without ever leaving the city. Here is how to live The White Lotus lifestyle from London.

Exotic Fashions Direct from the Costume Designer

As The White Lotus has proven, fashion is often just as much a character as the people who wear it. This is precisely what makes the new H&M collaboration with costume designer Alex Bovaird so fitting. Bovaird, the mastermind behind the HBO series’ captivating wardrobe, has lent her signature blend of narrative-driven design to an exclusive resort collection that channels the essence of tropical glamour, escapism, and, of course, The White Lotus’ intoxicating atmosphere.

The H&M x The White Lotus collection is not simply resort wear—it’s a passport to a different world. With 25 carefully crafted pieces, it transports you straight into the sun-drenched world of the show. Expect breezy kaftans, elegant cut-out dresses, woven crochet bags, and artfully draped fabrics that evoke that signature White Lotus look: sun-soaked elegance with just the right amount of drama.

Each item in the collection reflects the show’s vibrant tropical backdrop, with bold prints and rich colours that nod to both the island’s natural beauty and the lavish, somewhat surreal lives of its residents. There’s a languid, languorous feeling to the collection that invites you to embrace that holiday mode—whether you’re basking in the sun or living out your own tropical escape closer to home.

An Afternoon Tea Fit for the Ratliff Family

The treats are decorated with intricate toppings like flowers, nuts, and fruit, surrounded by white orchid flowers. A glass of wine is in the background, and the table has a luxurious gold-coloured surface with fine porcelain plates and napkins.

As the name behind the Koh Samui hotel where season 3 is based, it is only fitting that the Four Seasons join in on The White Lotus collaborations. Delivering on all the decadence of the show itself, the Michelin-starred Pavyllon Lounge at the Four Seasons on Park Lane is transporting guests to the partner hotel in Thailand through an afternoon tea that is fit for the Ratliff family. Running now until the 16th of May 2025, guests will be greeted by a bespoke lotus-inspired tea stand, an elegantly curated menu, and a soundtrack that subtly nods to the show.

The experience begins with a series of exquisite savouries, such as a delicate chicken dumpling infused with langoustine extraction, ginger, and coriander; a crispy crab and green papaya tartlet adorned with lotus cream and roasted peanuts; a duck spring roll spiced with Thai basil and green chili; and a curried tiger prawn sando lifted with pickled mango and lime. As for sweets, expect nothing short of indulgence. A black sesame and hazelnut teacake, a silky honey cheesecake with fresh pomelo salad, a tea-infused croustillant caramel with sweetcorn mousse, and a mango, Thai basil, and lime éclair showcase the vibrancy of Thai flavors. Not to be missed is the slow-roasted pineapple and pandan brioche cake—pure tropical bliss. Priced at £85 per person, this limited-time experience is a must for both die-hard fans and those looking to add a touch of luxury to their afternoon.
