Ever since Season 28 of ‘The Bachelor’ premiered on ABC on January 22, fans have been tuning in each week to find out who will win 28-year-old tennis instructor Joey Graziadei’s heart, as a group of 32 contestants are gradually eliminated until only one remains. But, not all of the show’s romance is derived from the one man and multiple women involved.

The gorgeous filming locations are also stars of the series in their own right, as the episodes often see the group hopping to luxury resorts in captivating overseas destinations. And, as one of this year’s major trends is “set-jetting”—traveling to experience the sites where one’s favorite movies and TV shows were filmed—it should come as no surprise that viewers are looking to the show for travel inspiration.

In fact, an analysis of Google Trends data by the experts at Islands revealed that searches for “Where is The Bachelor filmed?” shot up by 1,000 percent in the single day since the latest episode aired. Since you can’t necessarily identify the shooting locations by looks alone, we’ve compiled this helpful guide to where Season 28 of ‘The Bachelor’ was filmed, from tropical Mexico to Mediterranean destinations and more.

The Mansion—which, according to Us Weekly, has seven rooms, eight baths, two jacuzzis and a private pool—has served as home base for ‘The Bachelor’ and ‘The Bachelorette’ franchises since 2007.
