White Lotus has been renewed for Season 4 - in what country will the next season be based?
add your own answers - countries only
This market resolves to the primary location - the location of The White Lotus - of the season. If for any reason there is more than one location featured (one or more characters travel elsewhere, including another White Lotus, etc) that will not change the resolution.
Market resolves when the official location is announced. Must be an announcement by HBO (even via reputable third party sources). I will not re-resolve if, for any reason after the confirmed announcement, the location is scrapped and the show is moved entirely as I will consider that a very slim if nonzero probability.
Season 1: USA (Hawai'i)
Season 2: Italy (Sicily)
Season 3: Thailand (Koh Samui)
Market will be extended if the official announcement does not come by the end of 2025.

Mike White has said that he wants to get away from waves crashing on rocks esthetic for Season 4. So, any Four Seasons with a beach should be downgraded.
He's also rumored to hate cold, so while going to Vail or Jackson Hole after three seasons of bikinis would be a welcome (not!) change, it's less likely too.
Africa would be a new continent, which they'd like to do. Marrakech?
@MaxA I definitely tend to think it will be a new continent (I'm partial to Morocco and some South American countries personally - the aesthetics of a Riad would be so so so good).
I've seen both of those comments about cold, and about the crashing waves (though was there much of that in Thailand?) but I also think he might troll a little to keep the intrigue high. it would definitely be a challenge for him, I think, to go somewhere cold and still try to keep the sex appeal high. all of the seasons have water themes so I think even without crashing waves, it's likely to play a role.
I added some Caribbean countries after spotting this the other day

I'd take it with a grain of salt, of course.
Norway rejected, supposedly:
