Back 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 gathers a cast of alums from the streaming giant's growing reality slate, from Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum to Too Hot to Handle and Temptation Island. For season 3, stars from other franchises like The Bachelor and Love Island USA join 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. Read on for everything we know about where each season of Perfect Match was filmed, including how fans can rent out the villa for their own group getaway.
Where was 'Perfect Match' season 3 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 and 3 relocated to beachy Tulum, Mexico. A five-bedroom villa called Casa Xolo stood in for season 3's main villa; the property is located 10 minutes from downtown Tulum, and includes a 23-meter swimming pool and a private tennis court. For anyone planning a getaway, the property costs $1,500-$2,000 per night to rent.
Other resorts that are featured as season 3's date locations include Ajal Tulum, a treehouse boutique hotel; Secrets Tulum, a hotel and beach club; Holistika, a jungle wellness retreat; and the gym Tulum Fight Club, per Moviedelic.
When was 'Perfect Match' season 3 filmed?
For anyone who's curious about where Perfect Match falls within the timeline of Netflix's other dating shows (and the contestants' pre- and post-show relationships), filming typically takes place a full year before a season's release. Perfect Match was renewed for a third season back in June 2024, and filming reportedly took place soon after. Later that October, AD and Ollie were spotted together on what appeared to be a date, and they went public with their engagement(!) and pregnancy(!) in the months before season 3's premiere on August 1, 2025.
