Imagine being stranded on an untouched island with minimal resources—sounds intense, right? That’s exactly what the contestants of Single’s Inferno went through on Saseungbong-do, also known as Sado Island. This uninhabited island off the coast of Incheon, South Korea, provided the perfect dramatic backdrop for the show.
While it’s a private island and not easily accessible to tourists, Sado’s pristine beaches and rugged landscapes have made it a popular filming location for Korean variety shows like Running Man and 2 Days & 1 Night. If you’re an adventure seeker, you can explore nearby islands in Ongjin County that offer similar remote and untouched beauty.

For Season 3, the show switched things up and moved Inferno to Jeju Island, South Korea’s tropical paradise. Known for its volcanic landscapes, breathtaking waterfalls, and stunning coastlines, Jeju Island is a must-visit for travellers.
You can hike up Hallasan Mountain, explore the mysterious Manjanggul Lava Tubes, or relax on the island’s famous black-sand beaches. Whether you’re into adventure or just want a romantic getaway, Jeju offers the perfect blend of nature and charm.

Season 4 brought the show back to its original Inferno—the isolated Saseungbong-do. Once again, contestants faced the challenges of surviving on this remote island while searching for love.
While Sado itself is off-limits to the public, it’s worth noting that South Korea has other stunning uninhabited islands that are accessible to adventurous travellers. If you’re looking for a similar experience, consider visiting Muuido or Deokjeokdo, which offer camping, glamping, and pristine beaches.

For Season 4’s Paradise, the show went ultra-glamorous with Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul. Nestled on the slopes of Namsan Mountain, this urban resort offers the perfect mix of luxury and nature, making it an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of Seoul.
With private pools, world-class spa treatments, and breathtaking views of the city skyline, this resort is designed for pure indulgence. Couples on the show enjoyed ice skating, swimming, and romantic dinners here—experiences you can also have. Plus, it’s right in the heart of Seoul, making it super convenient for travellers.
