Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean) seem like total couple goals in the film Triangle of Sadness, so naturally, they're actually quite miserable in real life.
Although their relationship is on the rocks, Carl and Yaya jump at the chance to board a luxury yacht for free, in exchange for social media posts.
Naturally, the luxury sea cruise turns into an absolute nightmare when the yacht is attacked by Mother Nature — and pirates. The survivors end up on a deserted island, where they have to learn how to actually rough it for the first time in their lives.
So where was Triangle of Sadness actually filmed? Here's what we know.
The survivors probably won't be posting about the pirates on Insta.
So, where was 'Triangle of Sadness' filmed?
According to the IMDb page for Triangle of Sadness, the movie was filmed mainly in Greece, with some interior shots of the yacht itself being shot in a film studio in Sweden.
So where in Greece were the Triangle of Sadness beach and island scenes shot? Per the filming locations on the IMDb page, the Triangle of Sadness beach and island scenes were specifically shot on Chiliadou Beach, which is located on the Greek island of Evoia.
The seaside town of Katakola, Greece was also utilized as a filming location for Triangle of Sadness's cruise outdoor scenes.
