A spin-off of ‘The Bachelor’ and ‘The Bachelorette,’ ABC’s ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ is a reality dating show that pits together participants of the two original shows as they spend time together in a secluded resort. Season 10 follows a similar format, with Jesse Palmer serving as the host. It also included contestants from ‘The Golden Bachelor’ and ‘The Golden Bachelorette.’ Furthermore, Well Adams served as the bartender while Hannah Brown was the co-bartender. Besides the drama between the contestants, the fresh visual aspects played a vital role in making the tenth season all the more entertaining and appealing.
Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 Filming Locations
In the initial seasons, the contestants traveled to Mexico where they spent time at an isolated paradise away from the outside world. However, season 10 was filmed in Costa Rica, particularly in Guanacaste Province. From what we can tell, principal photography for the tenth season took place in the month of May 2025. The cast and crew members were grateful for the unique experience on the property, returning home with loads of memories from the set.
Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica
For the tenth season of ‘Bachelor in Paradise,’ the production team traveled all the way to Guanacaste Province in the northwestern part of Costa Rica. Since the province is nestled on the Pacific coastline, it is home to many beaches that offer breathtaking views of the shore. The season was shot on one such unique beach. To be specific, they set up camp in and around the Azura Beach Resort at VFCV+V2, in Playa Samara (Samara Beach) on Nicoya Peninsula. Lying 3 kilometers from downtown Samara, the beachfront property is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Thus, it served as the perfect backdrop for the contestants from ‘The Bachelor’ and ‘The Bachelorette’ as they attempted to give love another chance.
Overlooking the tranquil, warm waters of the Pacific, the luxurious property offers many services that cater to the needs of every contestant. For the purpose of the show, the cast members were provided with white and brown hued exquisite rooms, each coupled with a private pool. With its minimal yet irresistibly alluring aesthetic appeal, it acted as a step-up from the usual summer hideaway that the fans of ‘BiP’ are used to seeing on-screen. Talking about the swanky resort, showrunner Scott Teti told Entertainment Weekly: “The cast can literally open the doors to their rooms and swim out into the pool under bridges, and then up to a beautiful bar that is touching the beach.”
Surrounded by lush greenery, the resort has its own private beach where the contestants can bask in the sunshine. Instead of the traditional daybeds, season 10 featured elegant couches and reclining sun loungers while savoring the stunning beauty of the crystal clear waters and coastal sunsets. “There’s a beautiful island right off it with a bunch of fishing boats that surround it every day, with a quaint little town right next door, but not a ton of foot traffic,” Teti added, highlighting the beauty of the location. The fancy getaway also has a poolside patio and swim-up bar where the contestants can enjoy a drink or two after a steamy gossip or swim session.
As another elevation from the older seasons, the VIP suite of the tenth season comprised a two-story private suite embellished with a personal pool, a jacuzzi, and an equipped kitchen. In addition to all that, the expansive balconies of the tropical paradise offer panoramic views of nature’s gifts. From what we can tell, the contestants were well taken care of by the amenities offered by Azura Beach Resort. To ensure no hiccups erupted during the course of production, the crew members reportedly received total support from the staff. From candle-lit dinners to cozy and laid-back conversations under the sun or by the pool, everything was made possible by the romantic setting that allowed connections to blossom naturally.
