I had 'The White Lotus' experience in Sicily at a hotel with a private beach and infinity pool. At $261 per night, it was far less expensive than the hotel from the show and had many of the same perks.

I stayed at two luxury hotels during my stay in Taormina, Sicily in Italy.
I kicked off my trip at the real "White Lotus" hotel where the cast lived and filmed season two.

Back in April, I spent one night at San Domenico Palace, a Four Seasons Hotel, where "The White Lotus" was filmed in Sicily, Italy.

After checking out of San Domenico Palace, I spent two nights at UnaHotels Capotaormina, a 4-star hotel that was far more affordable.

The rooms were pretty similar, although San Domenico Palace had a couple more luxurious features.

Both rooms had a terrace balcony with stunning views of the ocean.

The bathrooms were completely different.

In my opinion, one of the most impressive aspects of San Domenico Palace was the infinity pool, so I was overjoyed that there was also one at UnaHotels.

Breakfast was included in the price of both rooms.

Unlike San Domenico Palace, UnaHotels Capotaormina has a private beach.

While I loved both hotels, UnaHotels Capotaormina is the one I'd recommend to those traveling to Sicily.
