What’s a luxury vacation without digital detoxes, clashing personalities, sprawling hillside villas and lots of wine?

On Monday night in Los Angeles, HBO celebrated the season premiere of “The White Lotus,” this time set at a lavish resort in Thailand famed for its wellness program — a place where guests are encouraged by one staff member to “focus on being present.”

Directed and written by Mike White, the dark comedy, which returns Sunday at 9 p.m., follows hotel staff and affluent guests vacationing at high-end White Lotus resorts around the world. As in previous seasons, set in Hawaii and Sicily, the episode begins with an ambiguous death and rewinds to the start of the trip, allowing viewers to watch every tense relationship unfold.
