Where to Watch The White Lotus in the UAE
OSN+ (Best option – all seasons)
In the UAE (and wider MENA), The White Lotus streams on OSN+, which holds the exclusive regional rights to HBO series.
- Platform: OSN+
- Availability: 3 seasons (Hawaii, Sicily, Thailand)
- Genres: Black comedy, comedy-drama, satire
- Typical runtime: ~54–90 minutes per episode
OSN+ is available via:
- iOS / Android apps (with offline downloads)
- Smart TVs, Apple TV and PlayStation in the UAE
Web: osnplus.com
Because of OSN’s multi-year HBO deal, you shouldn’t expect The White Lotus to appear on Netflix or Disney+ as part of their UAE subscription catalogues.
Apple TV (digital purchase)
If you prefer to own episodes or seasons:
- Apple TV (UAE store): lists The White Lotus for digital purchase, with individual seasons available in HD.
That’s pay-per-season / per-episode, not a subscription like OSN+.
Recently on OSN+ UAE (If You Like The White Lotus)
If you’re in the mood for more prestige TV on OSN+, it’s worth catching up on other recent or related picks such as Enlightened, The Sopranos, Sinners and Black Bag. You’ll find those in our latest What to Watch This Week UAE roundup and highlighted on the New on OSN+ UAE hub.
What Is The White Lotus About?
Created, written and directed by Mike White, The White Lotus is a black comedy-drama anthology set at branches of a fictional luxury resort chain.
Each season:
- Follows a week in the life of rich guests and resort staff
- Starts with a flash-forward revealing that someone dies
- Then rewinds to show how micro-aggressions, secrets, money and privilege slowly push everyone toward disaster
Settings so far:
- Season 1 – Hawaii
- Season 2 – Sicily
- Season 3 – Thailand
The show blends cringe comedy, relationship drama and mystery, with recurring characters like Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge), Greg (Jon Gries) and Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) crossing seasons.
How Many Seasons & Episodes Does The White Lotus Have?
As of now:
- Seasons: 3 (Hawaii, Sicily, Thailand)
- Episodes: 21 total
- Status: Renewed for Season 4, set in France, expected after 2026.
OSN+ carries the first three seasons as a complete box set in its HBO / most-watched sections.
In What Order Should You Watch The White Lotus?
You can treat each season as its own story, but the best watch order is still simple:
- Season 1 – Hawaii
- Season 2 – Sicily
- Season 3 – Thailand
That way:
- Recurring characters’ arcs land properly
- You catch references and in-jokes that carry over
- You follow the show’s escalation in tone and scope season by season
Is The White Lotus Kid-Friendly?
Short answer: no – this is firmly an adults-only series.
On HBO and international platforms it’s treated as mature / 18+ content, and OSN+ slots it in the same bracket.
Content to expect:
- Strong and frequent language
- Regular sexual content and nudity
- Drug and alcohol use
- Mature themes: infidelity, power abuse, death, mental health, exploitation
- Occasional violence and disturbing situations
It’s not suitable for children. At best, it might work for older teens if you’re watching together and comfortable with explicit adult content, but the show is clearly designed as an adult satire.

Should You Watch The White Lotus?
Watch it if…
- You enjoy prestige HBO dramas that mix dark humour, social satire and a slow-burn mystery.
- You liked Succession, Enlightened or other “rich people behaving badly” shows.
- You’re into anthology formats where each season brings a new story and location.
- You want something stylish, performance-driven and very discussable to justify an OSN+ binge.
Skip it if…
- You dislike awkward, cringe-adjacent humour and deeply flawed characters.
- You’re looking for light, cosy resort escapism – this is more “vacation from hell” than postcard.
- You prefer fast-paced, plot-heavy shows over character-driven simmering tension.
- You want something you can safely put on with kids in the room.
