Netflix’s latest reality series, “Age of Attraction,” has finally landed. The series, which promises to reinvent reality dating shows, centers on the premise that the 40 single contestants, ranging from 22 to 64, can ask anything of their newfound partner, except for their age. Along the way, hosts Nick Viall and Natalie Joy offer a few dating challenges, a couple of major curveballs and some key insight into age gap relationships. While many viewers have taken to the show for its interesting premise, some have been completely hooked by the gorgeous scenery used throughout the first season. If you’re interested in visiting the sites where they shot “Age of Attraction,” you’re in luck, as we’ve got the scoop on the entire production. The whole show was shot on location in British Columbia, Canada, in cities including Whistler and Vancouver.
Why Was ‘Age Of Attraction’ Filmed In Canada?
During a discussion with Deadline, series creators Jennifer O’Connell and Rebecca Quinn elaborated on their decision to take “Age of Attraction” up north to a private sanctuary in Canada. In the interview, the duo stated, “There’s been a million dating shows on tropical islands, and I think we wanted to stand out a little bit, but also find a place that’s really beautiful. If you think about someone of a certain age, you know, not 19 years old, who wants to go on a nice retreat, we were trying to create a very high-end resort-type situation where you would really be able to enjoy nature and do lots of outdoorsy things. It was nice to shoot somewhere that you haven’t seen a million times on reality TV.”
Speed Dates Took Place In Scenic Whistler, BC
Key Scenes: A few outings were captured in locales like Green Lake, Cougar Mountain Basecamp, the Whistler Train Wreck Trail area and the Whistler Racket Club, per Atlas of Wonders.
Best Time to Visit: For the quintessential “winter wonderland” experience, March is the local favorite, offering a perfect balance of deep snowpack and sunny “bluebird” days. If you’re more into hiking, lake dipping and mountain biking, aim for July and August when the alpine trails are finally clear of snow and the village is buzzing with summer energy
Transportation Options: Getting around Whistler is surprisingly easy without a car, especially with the 2026 launch of tap-to-pay (debit, credit and mobile wallets) on all BC Transit buses. For travel from Vancouver or YVR, reliable shuttle services like Epic Rides, Skylynx and the Whistler Shuttle offer frequent daily departures directly to the village.
The first few episodes of “Age of Attraction” see the contestants dating, mating, and making waves from a gorgeous secluded retreat. According to Decider, these scenes were captured in the Brew Creek Centre in Whistler, British Columbia, located roughly 90 minutes north of Vancouver by car. This tranquil venue provides plenty of room for the contestants to spread out, get to know each other, and share a few intimate moments away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Unfortunately, you probably won’t be able to experience the same luxuries as the contestants on the series, since the Brew Creek Centre is currently not open to the public. The business offers luxury stays for corporate retreats and meetings, however, so be sure to keep them in mind if you’re a business owner seeking a memorable experience for your employees.
Things to Do: You can catch a bird’s-eye view of the peaks year-round on the record-breaking Peak 2 Peak Gondola or explore the magical Vallea Lumina, a multimedia night walk through the forest. For a change of pace, you can dive into local history at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre, browse the contemporary collections at the Audain Art Museum or find total relaxation at the Scandinave Spa.
Where to Eat: For a special occasion, Wild Blue Restaurant + Bar has solidified its reputation as the town’s top spot for refined Pacific Northwest seafood. If you’re looking for newer vibes, Lorette Brasserie in the North Village is the go-to for French-Québécois comfort food and a fantastic brunch. For a more casual or “local” experience, grab a legendary burger at Splitz Grill or enjoy craft beers and smoked brisket at Hunter Gather.
Where to Stay: Whistler Village is the go-to for convenience, housing fan-favorites like the Westin Resort & Spa and the Pan Pacific, while the Upper Village offers a more “alpine-luxe” feel with the iconic Fairmont Chateau Whistler and the Four Seasons Resort.
After Heading To The Promise Room, Couples Live Together In Vancouver
Key Scenes: Many of the big city shots, shoreline views and public outings in the series were captured in this thriving cultural hub. Some locations used for the show include the Point Atkinson Lighthouse, Vancouver Convention Centre and Queen Elizabeth Park, as reported by Atlas of Wonders.
Best Time to Visit: If you’re looking to visit the Vancouver area yourself, your best bet would be to book a flight for the summer. Winters in Vancity can be quite bitter, with freezing rains and sub-zero temps rendering the area inhospitable to visitors from warmer climates. While the city is beautiful year-round, the summer offers milder temps, better access to outdoor events and more open-air markets to give you a true sense of the area’s community and culture.
Transportation Options: Like many metropolitan hubs, Vancouver has a fairly comprehensive public transit grid. If you’re looking to head up to Whistler and check out all of the main “Age of Attraction” filming locations it might be necessary to rent a car or rely on rideshare apps, but most intracity traversal can be accomplished with buses, trains and trolleys. Vancouver is also home to a number of skytrain stops, allowing visitors and natives alike to hit most of the main intersections with minimal walking.
If you’re taking a trip to British Columbia to view “Age of Attraction” filming locations, you’d probably be much better off exploring Vancouver than trying to get into the Brew Creek Centre. Several iconic restaurants and hotels can be seen in the series, including the Level Vancouver Downtown-Howe, The Mighty Oak, The Parlour and Capo & The Spritz. The Grouse Mountain Skyride can also be seen in the series, so be sure to check that out if you love scenic adventures, breathtaking views and you don’t have a fear of heights.
Things to Do: When you first arrive in town, be sure to catch a tour to become properly acquainted with the city. Walking tours, bus tours and even helicopter excursions are available for anyone looking to get a birds-eye view. During the day, you can pop into the Vancouver Aquarium, Museum of Anthropology or VanDusen Botanical Garden to check out some of the best art and culture the city has to offer.
Where to Eat: For an unforgettable splurge, the Michelin-starred Published on Main continues to lead with its hyper-seasonal Canadian menu, while newcomers Sumibiyaki Arashi and Sushi Hyun have become the city’s most coveted reservations for elite Japanese dining.
Where to Stay: For a quintessential waterfront experience, Coal Harbour is home to the Fairmont Pacific Rim, which remains the city’s gold standard for harbor views and a lively lobby scene. If you’re looking for something brand new, the former Shangri-La has officially transitioned into the Park Hyatt Vancouver this year, offering a top-tier, redesigned luxury experience in the city’s tallest building.
