Where Was Ticket to Paradise Movie Filmed?
“Ticket to Paradise” was filmed in Australia, Indonesia, and California, specifically in Queensland, Bali, and Los Angeles. According to reports, principal photography for the rom-com began in November 2021, but production was temporarily halted in January 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In February 2022, it finally ended. Now let’s take a look at all the scenic locations that appear in the main role of Julia Roberts!
Australia
Most of “Ticket to Paradise” was loaned in Queensland, Australia’s second largest and third most populous state. The film crew set up camp in the Whitsunday Islands, which doubled as Bali in the film. The original plan was to shoot all scenes set in Bali on location, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, the production team had to settle for an equally beautiful location, the Whitsunday Islands.
Chalkie’s Beach AKA Stockyard Beach and Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays served as several filming locations for the film. In addition, the production team built Balinese-style cottages on the beach at Palm Bay, Long Island, one of Queensland’s hidden gems, to represent Bali.
Additionally, the cast and crew even shot several scenes on location in the coastal locale of Airlie Beach and Qualia, a 5-star resort at 20 Whitsunday Boulevard on Hamilton Island.
The scene where David and Georgia arrive in Bali was filmed in and around Hamilton Island Airport, while the golf scenes were ostensibly filmed at the Hamilton Island Golf Club on Dent Island near Hamilton Island.

In addition, One Tree Hill and Bougainvillea Bar on Resort Drive overlooking Catseye Beach were also used for filming. Meanwhile, Tangalooma Island Resort on Moreton Island was transformed into a Balinese paradise for several scenes.
Many locations around the city of Gold Coast, a local government area that includes the Gold Coast and surrounding areas in Queensland, also served as filming locations for the movie “Ticket to Paradise.” The HOTA gallery at 135 Bundall Road in Surfers Paradise represented the LA art gallery in the film.
The proximity of Tamborine National Park in the Gold Coast hinterland, particularly the 1920s house set in its private jungle and bay on Mount Tamborine, was used to lend some parts.
In addition, some scenes were also filmed in the cane fields near Norwell Countryside and Carrara Markets on Cnr Manchester Road and Gooding Drive. Additionally, during filming, members of the cast and crew were spotted filming several key sequences in and around Brisbane, Queensland’s capital and most populous city.
Locations in Brisbane that served as production sites are Brisbane International Airport at Airport Drive, Queen’s Wharf, and Brisbane City Hall at 64 Adelaide Street.
Indonesia
Although most of the scenes set in Bali were filmed in Queensland, a few exterior shots appear to have been shot directly in Bali, a breathtakingly beautiful province of Indonesia.
Over the years, Bali has hosted the production of many films and TV shows; some of them are “The Fall” “Red Notice”, and “Bali 2002”.
California
It seems that the crew traveled to Los Angeles, the largest city in California and the second most populous city in the country, to film more parts for ‘Ticket to Paradise.
In addition to ‘Ticket to Paradise, the City of Angels has helped produce several film projects over the years such as ‘Bullet Train’, ‘Blonde’ and ‘House of the Dragon’.
