Netflix’s Resort to Love: Co-Produced in Mauritius by Identical Media
Resort to Love, a Netflix Original Feature Film, was shot on location in Mauritius with production services from Identical Media. Filming took place in December 2020, and the romantic comedy premiered globally on July 29, 2021. This lighthearted story highlights Mauritius as a stunning and versatile film destination for international productions.
About the Film
Resort to Love stars Christina Milian, Sinqua Walls, and Jay Pharoah. Directed by Steven Tsuchida, the film blends music, comedy, and romance against a tropical backdrop.
The story follows Erica (Milian), an aspiring singer who accepts a job at a luxury resort in Mauritius. Soon she discovers that her ex-fiancé Jason (Pharoah) is about to marry Beverly at the same venue. To complicate matters, Erica is booked to perform at their wedding. As emotions rise, she finds herself caught in a love triangle that also involves Jason’s brother Caleb (Walls). The mix of humor, romance, and music makes the film both entertaining and heartfelt.
Filming in Mauritius
Mauritius provided the ideal backdrop for Resort to Love. White-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and luxury resorts created a natural paradise on screen. Director Steven Tsuchida described the island as “a vacation for the eyes, heart, and soul.”
Additionally, Mauritius offered strong production infrastructure. International producers benefited from the Mauritius Film Rebate Scheme, which provides up to 40% cashback on eligible local spend. This incentive made the production not only visually rewarding but also financially competitive.
