Netflix is widening its dating pool once again with the return of Perfect Match Season 3, bringing together singles from across its most popular reality shows and beyond. Fans of Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, The Circle, The Bachelor, Love Island, and even The Challenge will see their favorite reality personalities compete to find love in a high-stakes tropical setting.
Season 3 features a total of 10 episodes, with each episode offering a mix of dating, strategy, and competition. Contestants must choose a partner to match up with at the end of each night. The following day, the paired couples participate in challenges, and the winning couple earns a trip to the coveted boardroom. From there, they can either bring in new singles for themselves or shake up existing relationships by sending other cast members on dates. With the constant arrival of new contestants and shifting alliances, the villa is filled with tension, strategy, and unexpected romance.
Where Was Perfect Match Season 3 Filmed?
The Perfect Match Following the pattern set by Season 2, Season 3 was shot entirely in Tulum, Mexico. The Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo is a tropical paradise that is perfect for romantic getaways, sporting events, and those famous sunset conversations.
Some say that the main filming started in the third week of August 2024 and ended in October 2024, a span of almost two months. As the main location for filming, the producers chose a private luxury villa with views of the ocean and lush jungle. Since it was in a private area, cameras could record the actors doing everything they did while keeping the cosy, vacation-like feel that the show is known for.
Tulum, Mexico
There are a lot of reality TV shows that film in Tulum because of its beautiful white sand beaches, turquoise water, and eco-friendly luxury resorts. For Season 3 of Perfect Match, the show used a number of local resorts and other unique locations to create the perfect place for dating.
Ajal Tulum
The cast had a unique jungle experience at this treehouse boutique hotel on Avenida 30 Sur. Ajal Tulum has private wooden treehouses, balconies that open to the outdoors — and a natural setting that adds to the show’s romantic and exciting mood. The property is both beautiful and environmentally friendly because it has a jungle observation tower and a freshwater system that is powered by the sun.
Holistika Hotel
Holistika, which is on Avenida 10 Sur in the Riviera Maya—was a peaceful place to film important scenes. Known as a wellness retreat, the boutique hotel offers yoga shalas, an art walk, a treehouse, a pool, and a vegetarian/vegan restaurant that uses locally sourced ingredients. Its calm, healing atmosphere was perfect for off-camera relaxation and on-camera scenes requiring tranquility.
Orchid House Tulum
Another important place for filming is Orchid House on Aldea Zama Calle Kinich Na. It is a 5-star boutique hotel with 18 high-end suites, a rooftop pool, and a beach bar right on the property. It was built with natural materials to blend in with its surroundings. It gave the cast a stylish and peaceful place to have private conversations and romantic moments.
Tulum Fight Club
Adding a twist to the tropical scenery, the Tulum Fight Club on Xcaret Street was used for some of the physical tasks and challenges featured in the season. Boxing and Muay Thai competitions and team challenges could be held in this open gym, which was a nice change from the villa’s relaxed atmosphere.
Why Tulum Works for Perfect Match
Tulum’s combination of seclusion, luxury, and natural beauty makes it an ideal filming location for a dating competition series. The cast members are isolated from the outside world, surrounded by lush jungle and oceanfront views, which intensifies both the romantic connections and the strategic gameplay. Its high-end villas, wellness hotels, and unique local spots provide a cinematic backdrop that elevates every scene.
With every poolside chat, sunset date, and high-energy challenge, Tulum serves as an unofficial cast member, creating the dreamy, dramatic environment that keeps viewers hooked on Perfect Match.
