There are several upgrades from the previous location, including enclosed rooms with private pools that each contestant will share with one roommate — a stark contrast from the previous bunk beds in open-air rooms.

"The cast can literally open the doors to their rooms and swim out into the pool under bridges, and then up to a beautiful bar that is touching the beach," Teti told Entertainment Weekly.

As for the surroundings, Teti said the resort has "amazing views."

"The beach itself is private and unique. There's a beautiful island right off it with a bunch of fishing boats that surround it every day, with a quaint little town right next door, but not a ton of foot traffic," he said. "It feels remote and upscale and sexy at the same time."

“I think the drive to move was based on shaking things up stylistically with a new vibe and a new kind ofParadise,” he said, adding that it is “production friendly” given its secluded, private beach.

“It also has the ability for our production to stay on one side of the sister hotel, and the newer portion of the [Azura] Beach Resort, where we will be filming, is right next door,” the showrunner continued. “It's this beautiful sexy, new location.”

Teti added that they are "trying to elevate" everything about "the style of the show."

"From new cameras and lenses to frame rates to the way it's shot — we’re trying to implement an upgraded, sexy style across the board," he said.

She continued in a separate comment, "say it again."

As for the behind-the-scenes crew, Teti told Entertainment Weekly he was "excited to be filming people that aren't constantly sweating, but maybe [they’ll have] a little bit of a glisten to just give it a sexy vibe."

The "boom boom room" — a private space where contestants can have intimate time away from the rest of the cast — has long been a Bachelor in Paradise staple. Now, it's getting a makeover.

Teti told Entertainment Weekly that there will be a special "VIP Suite" available to contestants on "certain occasions," which can be used if they want to get some "alone" time with a potential connection.

"The VIP suite is a two-story private getaway with an amazing setup that exudesParadise," Teti said. "It's got a private pool on the top floor and a jacuzzi on the second floor with a full-on kitchen. It's got huge balconies and elite views."
