In Netflix’s ‘Temptation Island,’ four couples are put in the spotlight for a few weeks in a secluded yet heavenly resort, but away from their significant others. As they are hoping to find out if they must settle down with or leave their respective partners for good, the men stay in a separate villa filled with single women while the women stay in a house full of single men. The singles in each villa are there to create chaos in even the strongest of relationships, making it a real test for the couples. The ninth season also brings another small tweak to the regular format by introducing a “Temptation Haven,” which is a camera-free tent placed right outside both villas, allowing people to have a surveillance-free time with one another.
However, when a pair enters the tent, the other villa is given a red light, making them guess if it is their significant other in the tent. After several weeks of going through different kinds of emotional and mental challenges, the couples must decide if they want to stay together, break up, or walk away with a new partner. Hosted by Mark L. Walberg, the ninth installment of the dating reality series took place in a tropical destination as the calming waves of the open waters worked in contrast with the drama and chaos that ensued in the villas.

A major portion of ‘Temptation Island’ was lensed in and around the unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) of Kailua-Kona, which is situated in Hawaii’s eponymous County.
