The new series on ITV, which has been compared to BBC favourite The Traitors, sees 10 couples battle it out to win a briefcase filled with £250,000 in cash. Each night, one couple receives the early check-out card and has to depart the show, while another shares their suite with a case full of fifties. The Fortune Hotel is hosted by Stephen Mangan, however there’s only one star in this show: it’s filming location and real hotel Silversands Grenada. Located on the Caribbean island’s most beautiful beach, Grand Anse, on the southwest coast, this resort has everything you could ever wish for in a five-star stay… And while the drama on screen may be directing you to the contestants, we just couldn’t tear our eyes away from the comfortable beds, miles of private beach, and the inviting infinity pool which seems to sneak its way into most shots.
