Where was "The Perfect Match" filmed?

Netflix's latest hit, Perfect Match, has joined the reality TV "bachelor hotties flirting in a luxury vacation home" genre, bringing together the alumni cast of shows like Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, and The Circle. Not only did the cast of Perfect Match gather together, but they also found a huge, stunning house for the cast to live in, and a new location has emerged as the show's tropical paradise.

Read on to find out everything we know about where Perfect Match was filmed, including how fans can rent out the villa for their own group trips.

The luxurious mansion where Perfect Match was filmed sits on a small cliff on the edge of the rainforest in the Panama City resort town of Playa Bonita. It is about 20 minutes from downtown, and while the house itself is not a beachfront property, it is quite close to the beach where the contestants had their compatibility challenge.

In the Perfect Match, it turns out that only a maximum of six people can be matched at a time; according to Rental Escapes (opens in new tab), the mansion, named Casa Naga, has a total of six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, amenities such as an infinity pool, a game room, and a bar and lounge area. Each room has its own unique architectural style, and the overall design of the house is a mix of "Balinese classical architecture and Panamanian culture.

For a whopping $6,000 to $8,000 per night, you can even take a trip to the villa yourself. Rental Escapes listings offer an all-inclusive package that includes meals and drinks at the staffed house as well as at six restaurants in the Westin Hotel Playa Bonita, a five-minute walk from Casa Naga. (There is also an Instagram (opens in new tab) for this establishment in addition to a separate website (opens in new tab), although it has not been updated for some time.)

She adds that Shayne filmed the show in February 2022, right after they met face-to-face during the taping of an "After the Altar" special, and according to Decider (opens in new tab), Shayne was actually in between "After the Altar" The timelines match up, as she had mentioned that she was thinking about a trip to Panama.

Meanwhile, Burtis Bowden revealed all of the filming dates for the "Love Is Blind" and "Perfect Match" seasons last January in an Instagram Q&A (opens in new tab). He said that "Perfect Match" was filmed in March 2022, "Love Is Blind" Season 3 in May 2021, "After the Altar" in August 2022, and the reunion episode in November of that year when the show premiered. This means that it had been almost a year since the Perfect Match crew had stayed at the villa.
