Fans Can Now Stay in 'The Traitors' Castles Around the Globe

The dramatic castles and estates that serve as the backdrop for international versions of the reality competition series "The Traitors" are available for fans to book, offering a unique travel opportunity inspired by the show.

The series, which originated in the Netherlands in 2021, has since expanded to over 30 countries, with many of its filming locations now welcoming guests. This phenomenon, dubbed 'Traitors Tourism,' has been noted for its potential to boost local economies.

In the UK alone, the show has reportedly contributed £21.8 million to the Scottish economy. Now, international fans can experience similar settings.

New Zealand and Australia

Castle Claremont in Timaru, New Zealand, serves as the filming location for "The Traitors" in both New Zealand and Australia. This historic estate, dating back to the 1880s, features a grand staircase, 14 bedrooms, a library, and a billiard room. A night's stay per person is approximately $80 NZD (£34.39).

France

Château de Bournel, a 600-year-old private family estate in Cubry, France, is the setting for the French version of the show. Surrounded by forests and gardens, the chateau offers amenities like grand chandeliers and sweeping hallways. Prices start at €65 (£55.89) per person per night.
