Warning: Spoilers for The Golden Bachelor season 2 finale ahead. While ABC’s The Bachelor is best known for televised love stories and dramatic rose ceremonies, the long-running reality TV franchise also serves an important function: vacation inspo. Season 2 of The Golden Bachelor ended with a picturesque trip to paradise (no, not Paradise), as former NFL player Mel Owens and his final two contestants, Peg Munson and Cindy Angelcyk Cullers, headed to the Caribbean island of Antigua for the Fantasy Suites and finale. Mel’s installment of the hit dating show has been controversial, to say the least, so it was a welcome return to form that the season concluded with a tropical destination fans can immediately add to their bucket list.
As a diehard pop culture fan who has more than one reality TV filming location on her travel list, I jumped at the chance to visit the Golden Bachelor resorts for myself. For any members of Bachelor Nation forming their next holiday plans, read on for everything to know about the filming locations for The Golden Bachelor season 2, including the Antigua resorts that Mel, Peg, and Cindy visited.
