First Dates: Beach Club debuts on Channel 4

In regular seasons of First Dates, singletons meet at The Botanist bar in Bath for their dates. Previous series have also been filmed in London and Manchester.

However, the new series is filmed in Spain.

More specifically, dates were filmed at the Valhalla Beach Club in Cadiz, Spain, which can be found between Cadiz and Tarifa.

Singletons arrive at the club to be greeted by show regulars such as Fred Sirieix and Merlin Griffiths.

They then enjoy dates with each other, spending the day at the beach club together.

Viewers will see snogs in the swimming pool, cocktails at sunset, and kisses on the sun loungers.

The contestants will also go on second dates, as well as on dates with other people, during their time at the beach club.

However, they didn’t seem overly impressed with the new format.
