The answer is simpler than expected — and slightly ironic. Love Is Blind: Poland (2026) may be a Polish reality series on paper, but most of its core filming didn’t happen in Poland at all. Instead, Netflix parked the production in a quiet Swedish town, building an entire controlled environment to keep things tight, secretive, and, crucially, spoiler-free.
The main filming location for Love Is Blind: Poland is Strängnäs, Sweden, a small countryside town roughly an hour outside Stockholm. This is where Netflix has quietly built its European production hub — a massive, purpose-designed set that houses the now-iconic pods, alongside living spaces and production facilities.
It’s not just a one-off either. This Swedish base has become the go-to location for multiple European editions of the franchise, making Poland’s version the sixth to pass through the same system.
Inside this facility, the scale is far from modest. The set spans around 6,500 square metres, fitted with about 20 pods and dozens of cameras capturing every awkward pause, emotional confession, and rushed proposal.
The idea is simple: isolate contestants, remove distractions, and let conversations do the heavy lifting. From a production standpoint, it’s efficient. From a viewer’s perspective, it keeps the illusion intact — even if the geography doesn’t quite match the title.
That said, the show doesn’t stay in Sweden forever. Once couples leave the pods phase, filming shifts — and this is where Poland finally steps into frame.

Parts of the later stages, including lifestyle segments, couple interactions, and likely wedding preparations, are tied to Warsaw, aligning with Netflix’s growing investment in Polish productions.
The streamer even established a local office in the capital, which explains the push to ground the series culturally, even if the early stages happen abroad.
Adding to that, production extends into nearby scenic areas that fit the show’s visual tone. One notable addition is the Masovian countryside, located just outside Warsaw.
With its mix of quiet estates, lakeside views, and open green landscapes, it provides the kind of polished, romantic backdrop the series leans on once couples step into the real world. It’s close enough for logistics, but visually distinct enough to sell the fantasy.
Interestingly, not every filming location has been publicly disclosed — and that’s very much intentional. Netflix has kept certain sites under wraps to prevent disruptions during shooting.
Given the scale of the production and the growing global fanbase, keeping locations semi-hidden isn’t just precautionary, it’s necessary. The last thing producers want is a crowd turning up mid-confession scene.
Culturally, the Swedish hub isn’t just a neutral space either. Each version of the show subtly reshapes the set to match its country.
Previous editions have introduced everything from specific food traditions to aesthetic tweaks reflecting local dating culture. For Love Is Blind: Poland, that means blending Polish social dynamics into a space that, structurally, remains Swedish. It’s a strange mix — but one that clearly works.
Fan reactions have been predictably split. Some viewers are fascinated by the behind-the-scenes logistics, calling the hub system “smart but slightly surreal.” Others feel a bit misled, expecting a more authentically Polish setting from start to finish.
Still, many don’t seem to mind, as long as the emotional chaos delivers — and judging by early chatter, it does. The setting may be controlled, but the relationships definitely aren’t.
At its core, Love Is Blind: Poland sticks to the franchise formula: strangers meet without seeing each other, form connections in isolation, and decide whether those feelings survive reality.
The filming locations, while scattered, are carefully chosen to support that journey — from controlled intimacy in Sweden to open, real-world pressure back in Poland.
And if you’re already eyeing these locations for your next trip, you’re not alone. Strängnäs might not scream “romantic getaway” at first glance, but it’s quietly becoming a landmark for reality TV fans.
Warsaw and its surrounding countryside, meanwhile, offer the more obvious travel appeal — with just enough TV magic layered on top to make it feel familiar.
So, would you actually visit these places, or is it better left as a binge-watch fantasy?
