Season 8

Previous seasons of the show have seen consumers and celebs venture to some of the most incredible destinations, including Mexico, Jamaica, the Seychelles, Mauritius and more. This year, the Maldives will set the scene for Season 8. 

Perhaps best known for its idyllic white beaches and crystal clear turquoise sea, the Republic of the Maldives is situated in the Indian Ocean. This tropical nation is composed of 26 ring-shaped atolls, which are made up of more than 1,000 coral islands – many still uninhabited.

Celebs and contestants compete in fun and challenging games to win R1-million - against the breathtaking Maldivian backdrop.
