The fictitious island of Saint Marie is played by the French Caribbean territory of Guadeloupe – five islands with a population of just over 400,000.
THE APPEAL: We know that Guadeloupe isn’t to everyone’s taste – after all, original star Ben Miller quit because he didn’t like it. But if tropical is your thing, there are loads of villas to hire, bustling seaside towns and d worldworld class beaches. Plus there’s lush Parc National de la Guadeloupe, and La Soufrière volcano to visit. It’s a French département so expect Gallic charm mixed with Creole dishes and a colourful carnival each spring. And, of course, plenty of punch (the alcoholic type).
You can ‘rum’ wild.
