Holiday destinations featured in popular TV series and films continue to captivate travelers, with Saint-Tropez emerging as a prime spot thanks to the upcoming fourth season of The White Lotus. As UK weather turns dreary, many seek the allure of sun-drenched French Riviera escapes. The HBO satirical drama, which has spotlighted locations from Hawaii to Sicily since 2021, transforms luxury spots into must-visit havens for vacationers.
Recent surveys reveal that 28% of travelers choose destinations inspired by on-screen appearances, with the figure climbing above 50% among Gen Z and Millennials. Season four will showcase the opulent 19th-century Château de La Messardière in Saint-Tropez, known for its stunning Côte d’Azur vistas, 32 acres of lush gardens, and an exclusive private beach club favored by elites.
