For travellers drawn to grand towers, hidden plots and historic estates—but who would rather skip Scotland—there are striking alternatives. Around the world, spectacular properties provide the backdrop for international editions of The Traitors.
The latest UK series, Celebrity Traitors, begins tonight. Yet the hit format, first launched in the Netherlands in 2021, has since inspired more than 30 adaptations across the globe.
From the US, Australia and New Zealand to Ireland, France, Germany, Canada, India, Spain, Italy and Norway, broadcasters have created their own versions of the reality competition.
The phenomenon has even created a new form of travel, with “Traitors Tourism” helping local economies as devoted viewers make trips to see the show’s filming locations for themselves.
In the UK, the programme has generated £21.8million for the Scottish economy alone. Across the country, visitors can also find numerous properties and stays suited to a Traitors-themed getaway.
Several real-life filming locations used by the international franchises welcome paying guests, and Eurochange has highlighted some of the most memorable options.
New Zealand
Castle Claremont is the filming location for The Traitors in New Zealand and Australia
Castle Claremont, near Timaru on New Zealand’s South Island, serves as the Southern Hemisphere setting for The Traitors.
Built in the 1880s, the stately property has all the ingredients for a suitably suspenseful escape.
Visitors can explore a sweeping staircase and choose from 14 bedrooms, while the house also offers access to a library and billiard room.
The estate originally hosted only the New Zealand edition, but Australia began using the location earlier this year.
Price? A stay at the Traitors castle costs from $80 NZD (£34.39) per person, per night.
Return flights from London Heathrow to Christchurch are available from £750 per person.
France
Château de Bournel is where the French version of The Traitors is filmed
Set among 160 hectares of woodland and landscaped gardens, Château de Bournel lies in Cubry, France.
Its picturesque surroundings sit close to both Alsace and Switzerland, creating an impressive setting for an escape worthy of a Faithful—or a Traitor.
The 600-year-old private family estate is home to the French edition of The Traitors. With grand chandeliers, atmospheric corridors and immaculate grounds, it is easy to see why the property was chosen.
Price? Rooms at the luxury hotel start at €65 (£55.89) per person, per night.

Canada
Manoir Rouville-Campbell is where the Canadian version of The Traitors is based
Over in Canada, mega fans of The Traitors can check into Manoir Rouville-Campbell – an impressive estate located at the foot of Mont Saint-Hilaire in Quebec.
The mansion dates back to the 1860s and in true Traitors style, boasts a striking neo-Gothic and Tudor design.
It’s the filming location for the show in Canada and when Traitors and Faithfuls aren’t battling it out, the property is a hotel and restaurant.
Price? A night per person costs from C$102 (£54.59).
Return flights from London Heathrow to Quebec start from £355 per person.
