The Resort, created by Andy Siara, is a comedy mystery Tv series that follows a married couple – Noah and Emma – who decide to vacation at a sprawling resort for their 10th anniversary. While Noah is happy with the way things are going, Emma feels like their marriage is stuck and not progressing.
Things take a wild turn when the couple becomes embroiled in one of the unsolved mysteries from 15 years ago, involving the sudden disappearance of two young adults.
As Noah and Emma try to get to the bottom of the mystery, they discover that it is connected to a murder and a rare hurricane. This mystery also tests their marriage in different ways. The narrative mixes comedic elements with suspense and thrills, making the Cristina Milioti starrer an engaging watch.
In addition, behind the flamboyant and aesthetic facade of the resort and the city lies a sinister secret. So it’s only natural that you want to know about the actual filming locations featured in The Resort show.
Where Was The Resort Series Filmed?
“The Resort” is filmed exclusively in Puerto Rico, specifically in and around San Juan and Culebra. Principal photography for the inaugural season of the comedy tv series reportedly began in March 2021 and wrapped up in May of that year.
Although the story takes place in Yucatán, the similar terrains and landscapes of Puerto Rico tend to work in the production team’s favor as they use the Caribbean island to double for the Mexican state. So let’s walk through the beautiful yet mysterious locations of The Resort show.
Puerto Rico
The main parts of “The Resort” are located in San Juan, the capital and most populous municipality in Puerto Rico. The production team mostly used the historic locations of Old San Juan, a neighborhood on San Juan Island.
Several members of the cast and crew were spotted filming many key sequences in the Walled City during filming. As San Juan is known to be the cultural, financial, and tourism center of Puerto Rico, the capital is the island’s most important port.

The city is home to several beaches, all of which overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the popular ones are Los Cables Beach, Capitolio Beach, and El Escambrón Beach. In addition, due to its rich history, San Juan has some contemporary and classic museums, including the Puerto Rico Art Museum, the San Juan Book Museum, the Puerto Rico Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Pablo Casals Museum.
Apart from ‘The Resort’, several other notable movies and TV series such as ‘A Perfect Getaway’ ‘The Rum Diary, and ‘Homeland’ have been shot in the capital.
