If you’ve been charmed by the cheeky monkeys in White Lotus Season 3, you’re not alone.
The series, filmed at the Four Seasons Koh Samui, has introduced viewers to the region’s wildlife, all set against the backdrop of Bill Bensley’s iconic design.
But Koh Samui isn’t the only place where you can encounter monkeys and experience Bensley’s creative flair.
Located on Vietnam’s central coast, InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort offers guests the chance to explore the wild side of the region. Set within 39 hectares of lush jungle, this award-winning resort is home to one of the last populations of the critically endangered red-shanked douc langurs, native to the Son Tra Peninsula.
The resort plays an active role in protecting these rare primates through key conservation efforts led by local naturalist Trung Quân. Guests can join a Wildlife Expedition to spot the elusive monkeys, visit an ancient 800-year-old banyan tree, and even help build “monkey bridges”—safe passageways that allow the douc langurs to move between treetops without the risk of predators.
But the resort’s connection to monkeys doesn’t stop there. Under Bensley’s design, the property is full of playful tributes to a fictional character—Charles, an adventurous ape who appears in portraits, statues, and quirky details throughout the resort. From banana yellow accents to custom-made mirrors, the monkeys are woven into the fabric of the property in true Bensley style.
By blending creative design with wildlife conservation, InterContinental Danang offers a unique and meaningful escape. Guests can immerse themselves in the beauty of Vietnam’s Son Tra Peninsula while supporting efforts to protect one of the region’s most endangered species. It’s a stay that’s both luxurious and impactful—where nature and design come together in perfect harmony.
Designed by the eccentric genius Bill Bensley, who also worked on the Koh Samui set featured in White Lotus Season 3, InterContinental Danang is more than a luxury resort—it’s an immersive work of art. With bold interiors, storytelling design elements, and lush jungle surroundings, the resort feels like stepping into a movie set.
Whether you’re tuning in to White Lotus for the scandal or the scenery, there’s no denying the allure of Southeast Asia’s hidden gems. At InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, monkeys are more than part of the landscape—they’re storytellers, conservation mascots, and now, luxury design icons.
Ready to monkey around in style? This is one trip that’s equal parts wild and wonderful.
