Where is 'Too Hot to Handle' filmed?

Too Hot to Handle Season 1 debuted in April 2020. The series was one of Netflix’s acclaimed reality TV series on the platform, as it became a binge-worthy show during the height of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Season 1 of Too Hot to Handle was filmed in Punta Mita, Mexico, on a beautiful property where viewers can also stay.

"The most incredible destination in the world, with the most amazing views, where serenity meets destiny," a description of the dreamy property reads on Casa Tau's Instagram page. "This is what Casa Tau represents, a very exclusive way of looking at the world, with a full-service resort staff at your service every moment."

The destination boasted 12 bedrooms and bathrooms, including three ocean-front master suites and one double room. In total, the estate sleeps 27 people — in other words, more than enough room for the 10 Too Hot to Handle cast members to spread out, plus their whole crew.

After Season 1, Too Hot to Handle returned with a new cast of hotties and a brand-new filming location. According to Variety, the second and third seasons, released in June 2021 and January 2022, were filmed secretly during the pandemic. COVID-19 safety protocols were in effect, but it's also filmed in secret, so the contestants don't know what show they're actually on until the big reveal. The producers called the secret show Parties in Paradise throughout the casting process so the contestants wouldn't suspect anything.

For the back-to-back seasons, the cast filmed Too Hot to Handle on Turks and Caicos island of Providenciales. While there, they stayed at the Turtle Tail estate. According to Marie Claire, the villa isn’t exclusive to the reality stars.
