Where is Too Hot to Handle filmed? Season 3 location of Netflix series - and how much it costs to stay there

The third season of Too Hot to Handle premiered on Netflix on 19 January 2022.

The series consists of 10 episodes, with the contestants ranging from 22-29 years-old, for the latest instalment.

The first episode sees contestants such as Beaux Raymond, Harry Johnson, Nathan Soan Mingomezulu, Georgia Hassarati, Holly Sacrfone, Izzy Fairthorne, Steven Ditter, Patrick Mullen, Jaz Holloway and Robert DuVaun feature.

But where was the show filmed - and how much does it cost to stay there?

Where was season 3 of Too Hot to Handle filmed?

Too Hot to Handle season two and three were filmed on the Turks and Caicos Islands, which is a British overseas territory consisting of the larger Caicos Islands and smaller Turk Islands.

This chain of islands sit in the sunny Caribbean southeast of the Bahamas.

You can fly to Turks and Caicos ex. London Heathrow via British Airways - current cheapest return flights at £575 for February.

The show itself takes place on the lavish island of Providenciales.

In season one, the show was filmed in Punta Mita, Mexico, and featured a stunning villa to enjoy the hot weather, but the change of location accentuates the show with tropical skies.

The dramatic change in location stems from attempting to hide the show from contestants, who, for season two were told they were filming a show called Parties in Paradise and Pleasure Island for season 3. Seeing the villa from season one may have been a giveaway.

When was season 3 of Too Hot to Handle filmed?

Covid-19 protocols meant filming would need to be moved from the original location to the Turtle Tail Estate villa, as season three was filmed immediately after season two in 2021, amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

You can book at stay at Turtle Tail Estate villa via TripAdvisor.

A 12% tax charge and a 10% service charge is also required, and is not included in the deposit.
