Australian Survivor is known for its picturesque, remote locations — but where exactly is the 2025 season filmed?
Australian Survivor doesn’t have just one home. Over the years, it’s been filmed on the idyllic beaches of Fiji, the blindingly blue shores of Vanuatu, and even in the Australian country town of Cloncurry.
The cast of Australian Survivor 2025: Brains vs Brawn II jetted off to Samoa to film the upcoming season.
Australian Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia confirmed that the 2025 instalment was filmed in the oceanic country when he shared a photo of himself standing next to a Samoan number plate.
“Well that’s a wrap! 2 more (cracking’) seasons of #SurvivorAU snuffed. All I gotta do now is get my full license 🥴,” he captioned the pic posted in October.
Jonathan’s post confirmed that both Australian Survivor 2025 seasons — Brains v Brawn and Australia v The World were filmed in Samoa.
But, where exactly in Samoa was Australian Survivor 2025 filmed?
Samoa consists of two islands, and it takes about four hours to drive around the main island, Upolu. So, while Samoa isn’t exactly big — there are plenty of places where the series could be filmed.
Unfortunately for us, there are no specific details about where the 2025 season was filmed just yet. However, below are some of the most memorable locations that featured on Australian Survivor 2024.
To Sua Ocean Trench
To Sua Ocean Trench is located on Upolu and is dubbed by travellers as one of the top swimming holes in the world.
A quick Instagram location search spawns hundreds of thousands of results, and it’s understandably one of Samoa’s most popular locations.
Some of the Australian Survivor 2024 cast got the chance to visit the famous swimming hole as part of a reward challenge.
Matareva Beach
The Rebels vs Titans crew built their camps on Matareva Beach in Upolu. The series was filmed right outside of the conservation area on the famous beach.
The popular white sand beach is lined with palms and black rocks, and it’s a popular snorkelling destination. The beach has recently been recognised as a Marine Conservation Area, and an initiative is underway to develop coral and replant it in the area to help marine life thrive.
Sheraton Beach Resort Mulifanua
Ever wondered what the Australian Survivor crew do when they’re not filming our latest batch of castaways? Well, some of them are staying at Sheraton Beach Resort Mulifanua.
The hotel housed many of the Australian Survivor 2024 camera people and producers. However, not all of the crew are flown in.
Last year, the show employed around 300 people per week and, overall, had more than 500 Samoans on its payroll, according to Samoa Tourism.
Oh, the things we’d do to see Jonathan’s digs!
Australian Survivor 2025 will air on Channel 10 and 10Play.
