The ultimate physical and psychological game, Survivor UK, is back!

Hosted by Joel Dommett, Survivor has been rebooted and will see 18 castaways battle it out to be named the Sole Survivor.

In fresh episodes, 18 people from all walks of life are marooned in a tropical location where they are divided into two tribes.

They will then have to compete against each other in a range of physical and mental challenges.

But where is this tropical location where all the action happens? Read on to find out where Survivor UK 2023 was filmed.
