Welcome to Sri Lanka!

Pack your bags, we're jetting off to the tropical paradise of Sri Lanka! This gem of an island, perched in the Indian Ocean, is the secret star of the show. But shh, don't tell the actors, they think it's a real place called "The Maldives".

Galle Face Green: The Beachy Backdrop

Remember those stunning beach scenes? They're not shot in some exotic, far-off land. They're just a stone's throw away from Galle Face Green, a bustling urban park in Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo. Talk about a hidden gem!

Galle Fort: The Colonial Charm

Now, when the show takes a turn for the historical, it's whipping out its best colonial vibes at Galle Fort. This UNESCO World Heritage site was built by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Fancy a bit of history with your drama?

Kandy: The Hill Country Haven

When the crew needed a change of scenery, they headed up to Kandy, the cultural capital of Sri Lanka. The lush tea plantations and the iconic Temple of the Tooth made for a perfect hill country hideaway.
