Bitten by The White Lotus Bug? 6 Indian hotels for a tropical getaway

Thailand is a bubbling travelling hotspot now, more than ever. You can credit the White Lotus effect for this phenomenon, and it's still sunny for you to be a part of it. Pop culture has an immense influence on our travel plans. With each successful season, the HBO show, The White Lotus, strengthens its grip on the audience to a chokehold. The latest season, filmed at the Four Seasons Koh Samui Hotel oozes tropical luxury and everybody is vying for a piece of that pie.

India is home to the world's most tropical luxury destinations. Once you fall in the lap of luxury of India's finest, you'll realise that any tropical holiday is worth fighting for (just try to avoid fighting your manager over this one though). HELLO! India curates a list of India's most cherished tropical getaways that even though not the same as the one in Thailand in essence, isn't too distant from it either.
