Primary Filming Location
The series was primarily filmed at the Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat in the Gold Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia. The retreat served as the fictional "Sanctuary" wellness resort where the characters stayed. Its secluded, lush setting matched the show's isolated wellness community atmosphere.
Additional Filming Sites
Beyond the retreat, production also used nearby areas in Queensland for exterior shots and street scenes. The surrounding natural landscapes and regional facilities helped create the remote, resort-like environment seen throughout the series.
About the Production
Nine Perfect Strangers is an American drama miniseries adapted from Liane Moriarty's novel. Production moved to Australia to use the retreat's controlled, wellness-focused setting. The location provided a realistic backdrop for the story's intense group retreat storyline.
Why the Location Matters
The Gold Coast hinterland location was chosen for its privacy, natural beauty, and resort-style infrastructure. The real retreat's design and isolation helped ground the fictional events in a believable, immersive environment. This choice shaped the series' tense, insular mood.
