The White Lotus: On Location in Sicily

By Butterfield & Robinson

Here at the Slow Road, we love sharing tv shows and movies that visually transport us to the world's most beguiling places, stirring inspiration for a region when we’re deciding where to go next. In this post, we’re rounding up all locations you can visit from HBO’s The White Lotus, a series following a group of characterful guests as their week of drama unravels in Sicily

Season 2 saw The White Lotus trade their address in Maui for the chic coastal town Taormina, nestled on Sicily’s eastern coast. Jennifer Coolidge returns as Tanya McQuoid Hunt, who heads to Sicily to live out her Monica Vitti dreams while attempting to re-kindle the romance with her husband. Meanwhile, Sopranos star Michael Imperioli makes his White Lotus debut as Dominic Di Grasso, a Hollywood producer embarking on a heritage trip with his father and son to explore their Sicilian roots. Among them are couple Harper and Ethan, a lawyer and a tech entrepreneur who join their old college friends on a trip, Daphne and Cameron.
