From sun-drenched Sicilian resorts to the pristine beaches of Hawaii, today’s travelers aren’t just looking to get away—they’re looking to step into the world of their favorite shows. Welcome to the era of set-jetting, where TV and film are the ultimate travel inspiration.
For luxury travelers, however, just visiting a location isn’t enough. These travelers seek full immersion and to live the on-screen experience.
The White Lotus Effect: A Luxury Travel Boom
Few shows have sparked as much luxury wanderlust as HBO’s The White Lotus. Its stunning resort settings—first in Maui and then in Sicily—sent travelers flocking to five-star stays with cinematic backdrops. Advisors can capitalize on this trend by guiding clients toward high-end properties that capture the same ambiance and exclusivity.
Luxe by ALG Vacations® offers a curated selection of resorts in breathtaking destinations perfect for travelers seeking an escape worthy of Hollywood.
How Advisors Can Sell the Set-Jetting Experience

Whether it’s the Mediterranean allure of The White Lotus, the chic charm of Emily in Paris, the high-powered luxury of Succession in New York City, the medieval grandeur of House of the Dragon in Portugal, the romantic estates of Bridgerton in the English countryside, or the lush wellness retreats of Nine Perfect Strangers, understanding what captivates your client on screen can help you recommend the perfect resort.
2. Showcase Luxe Hotels That Fit the Trend
Luxe by ALG Vacations features properties that embody that sumptuous exclusivity and service our favorite characters relish. Consider highlighting options like:
