The creation of Chris Coelen, Netflix’s ‘Perfect Match‘ is a dating show that pits together a group of attractive single Netflix alumni whose main aim is to find a compatible partner for themselves and form a couple. If a couple wins compatibility challenges, they earn a private date with each other and the right to introduce new singles in the villa by setting them up with themselves or other singles in the game. By the end of each day, the individual who fails to match with anybody ends their journey and leaves the villa.
As individuals continue leaving the competition, only once couple remains by the end, making the ultimate match. Since the seductive yet strategic dating competition takes place primarily in the luxurious villa where the attractive individuals stay, as well as other sites, including beaches and restaurants, questions about the actual filming locations are bound to be raised in the viewers’ minds.
