For the two-part finale of The Bachelor Season 23, the production travelled from the dramatic Atlantic coastline of Portugal’s Algarve to the Mediterranean landscapes of Mallorca, Spain, creating a spectacular conclusion to the season across two of Southern Europe’s most cinematic destinations.
Icon International was entrusted with delivering production services in both countries, coordinating two major production units filming back-to-back as the series moved seamlessly from Portugal to Spain. Managing consecutive international shoots required meticulous planning, with crews, equipment, transport and logistics transitioning rapidly between destinations while maintaining the production’s demanding schedule and consistently high visual standards.
Working alongside the US production team, Icon provided comprehensive production management, location scouting, filming permits, local crew, helicopter coordination, vehicle rental, transport coordination and production logistics across both territories. Each location required its own tailored production strategy—from securing access to the Algarve’s rugged clifftops and coastal landscapes to managing filming across Mallorca’s historic towns, countryside and Mediterranean coastline.
Operating across two countries within a compressed production schedule demanded exceptional coordination between local authorities, suppliers, transport providers and international crews. Icon’s experience managing complex cross-border productions ensured a smooth transition between locations, allowing the production to maximise filming time while capturing the distinctive character of both Portugal and Spain.
The finished finale blends breathtaking European landscapes with the cinematic storytelling that has defined The Bachelor franchise for more than two decades, demonstrating Icon International’s ability to deliver seamless multi-country television production services for large-scale international entertainment formats.
