Romantic Mallorca in Me Before You
This year's most popular romantic drama was filmed in Mallorca
Released in June, 'Me Before You' is based on the book by the same name which tells the story of Louisa Clark, a working-class girl who starts working as a caregiver for Will Traynor, a billionaire left paralysed. Feelings soon develop between them, with the island of Mallorca as the perfect backdrop for their love story.
In the film, the couple enjoy a beach holiday in Mauritius, but the scenes were actually filmed in Mallorca's Cala Formentor, a paradise of white sand and crystalline waters near Pollença.
The crew definitely had a great time on the Balearic island, judging by the pictures shared on Instagram by the stars of the film. Emilia Clarke, best known for her role as Danaerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, posted images of the sunny beach while they were filming, with the caption "Spain, there is no rain, and even less to complain.. about".
Sam Claflin, who played Finnick in the Hunger Games' franchise, was even more enthusiastic about Cala Formentor, saying that "This place truly was one of the most amazing places I'd ever visited. If you haven't been to Mallorca. Go. Explore. We were there for little over a week, but I want to go back. Again and again."
He later posted "We were fortunate to spend a good little portion of the filming out in Formentor, Mallorca, and what a beautiful place it was. Sun, sea, sand and smiles all round. "
We couldn't agree more!
