Where Is 'Perfect Match' Filmed? What to Know About the Dating Show's Tropical Villa
The Netflix series hosts a chaotic game of love in the perfect vacation destination.
In 2023, Netflix's hit series Perfect Match joined the ranks of the "hot single people flirt in a luxurious villa" genre of reality TV. Each installment assembles a cast featuring alums from the streaming giant's expansive reality slate, including Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, and Temptation Island. Since then, the streamer has expanded its casting beyond its own universe, and stars from franchises like Love Island USA and Vanderpump Rules have joined in on the chaotic game of flirting.
To film each season, Netflix finds a huge, stunning house for the Perfect Match cast to populate, with a new locale standing in for the show's tropical paradise. With season 4 airing now, read on for everything we know about where each season of Perfect Match was filmed, including how fans can rent the villa for their own group getaway.

Where was 'Perfect Match' season 4 filmed?
While Perfect Match's first season was filmed in a Panama villa called Casa Naga, in the resort town of Playa Bonita, seasons 2 through 4 have been filmed in the beachy Tulum, Mexico. A five-bedroom villa called Casa Xolo is season 4's main villa; the property is located 10 minutes from downtown Tulum and boasts a 23-meter swimming pool and a private tennis court. For anyone planning a getaway, the property costs $1,500 to $2,500 per night to rent.
Other Tulum locations that have been featured as date locations in seasons 2 through 4 include Ajal Tulum, a treehouse boutique hotel; Secrets Tulum, a hotel and beach club; Holistika, a jungle wellness retreat; the gym Tulum Fight Club; the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve; the famed beach Playa Paraiso, and the tranquil Tankah Bay.

When was 'Perfect Match' season 4 filmed?
For anyone curious about where Perfect Match falls within the timeline of Netflix's other dating shows (and the contestants's pre- and post-show relationships), season 4 reportedly had a quicker turnaround than previous installments. While past seasons have been filmed a year in advance, season 4 was reportedly filmed in November 2025, just six months before its premiere on May 13, 2026.
Ideally, the shorter span between season 4's filming and release date would mean it's less likely that the relationship statuses of its stars would be spoiled. (So, avoiding another AD and Ollie getting papped or Louis and Huda going public before season 3 was over kind of situation.) Unfortunately, one of the season 4 cast members was just too booked and busy! Temptation Island alum Yamen Sanders appeared on Love Island: All Stars in January and February 2026, where he placed fifth with Love Island UK's Whitney Adebayo. It's currently unknown whether Yamen and Whitney are still dating, but either way, it's safe to say Yamen didn't find his perfect match.
