Netflix’s ‘Too Hot to Handle’ was Filmed in Punta Mita Mexico
‘Too Hot to Handle,’ the latest dating reality show on Netflix, was filmed in paradise – or as close as humanly possible at Casa Tau, a luxurious villa in the super-exclusive resort community of Punta Mita, Nayarit, not far from Puerto Vallarta.
“Netflix executives were like, ‘Find the most beautiful place in the world,'” series creator Laura Gibson told OprahMag.com.
On the show, a group of singles gathers in a beachside villa for what they think will be a raucous free-for-all. Too Hot to Handle is just the opposite: The singles are challenged to resist hooking up with one another. Each instance of physical touch results in money being docked from the $100,000 prize.
The social experiment unfolds near the crystal-clear waters of a luxury private villa in Mexico, which producers found after a worldwide search. “We scoured the world,” Gibson said. “We went everywhere. There was a high bar – and this was the one.”
Here’s what you need to know about the filming location of Too Hot to Handle – and whether you can stay there yourself.
The show was filmed in a super-exclusive resort community in Mexico
Too Hot to Handle was filmed in Punta Mita, a private peninsula located on Riviera Nayarit on Mexico’s Southwest Coast. “The executives were like, ‘Show us the place where the A-list of the world could only afford to go,'” Gibson says.
Punta Mita certainly fits that description. Only 1,500 square miles, this exclusive hideaway is home to 5-star hotels like the Four Seasons Punta Mita and St. Regis Punta Mita, 16 private communities, and many multimillion-dollar villas, like the one in Too Hot to Handle.
Once a quiet beach, Punta Mita has developed into a hideaway for the mega-rich about 15 years ago, per an article published by Forbes
“The very affluent are drawn to Punta Mita because we offer something that can’t be found elsewhere in the world. A master-planned community like Punta Mita would be extremely difficult to duplicate in today’s financial climate, and geographically, Punta Mita is stunningly unique,” Andrés Rossetto, the Managing Director of Punta Mita Development, told Forbes.
Punta Mita is also popular among celebrities. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyoncé, Richard Gere, Jennifer Lawrence, Lady Gaga, David Duchovny, and Jennifer Aniston have all vacationed there – and Bill Gates owns the Four Seasons Resort.
Too Hot to Handle’s luxury villa is available for rent
The show was filmed in Casa Tau, a private villa that is available for rent at a massive price tag of $15,660.00/Night. The villa features 12-bedroom suites each with private en-suite and comes complete with a waitstaff, butler, and private chef. The villa has an infinity pool, spa, bocce court, billiards, ping-pong, water sports – and a suite of massage therapists available.
