The luxurious World of Wellness itinerary has an eye-watering price tag.

While the world immerses itself in the drama of The White Lotus season 3 at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, it’s time to pack your finest resort wear (and maybe start a trust fund) because Four Seasons has just unveiled its most indulgent private jet experience yet.

The World of Wellness itinerary is the ultimate The White Lotus-inspired private jet experience, promising a 20-day whirlwind of luxury, wellness and jaw-dropping destinations.

But here’s the catch: this ultra-luxe trip comes with a jaw-dropping US$188,000 ($302,000) per person price tag. And if you’re going solo, be prepared to pay an extra 10 per cent on top.
