Bad Tourists





The White Lotus meets The Guest List in this chilling sun-soaked thriller about three vengeful women, a beautiful island resort, and the darkest of secrets. Perfect for the armchair traveller.

IS IT EVER A GOOD IDEA TO GO ON HOLIDAY WITH FRIENDS?

Best friends Darcy, Camilla and Kate have just landed in the Maldives for a luxury holiday. They can't wait for ten days of scorching sun, crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches.

But against this idyllic backdrop, long-buried secrets come to light one by one, and the darker side of female friendship floats to the surface.

After all, when you’ve known each other forever, you’re bound to hold a grudge or two - and the bet of friends can make the worst of enemies...

Which of them will make it back alive – if any?
