Is Tranquillum House real?

Tranquillum House is an entirely fictional resort, but Soma, a spa in Ewingsdale, was used to film many of the scenes in the centre, as reported by CN Traveller.

The real-life spa is set in 22 acres, and features stunning views as seen in the show.

Its website states: "With the intention of creating a space to recharge your batteries, Soma has been mindfully designed with a modern yet warm aesthetic, allowing clarity externally for whatever space you need within."

Director Jonathan Levine told Forbes magazine: "The resort itself is such a big character.

"It was perfect with its amazing woods, jungles and beaches, and captured the feeling we were looking for."
