Mallorca transforms into the French Riviera

Although the plot of The Hustle is set on the glamorous Riviera, the southeastern coast of France, the film was shot here in Mallorca. Locations such as Puerto Portals and the terrace of the luxurious Hospes Maricel & Spa Mallorca were transformed by the production team to recreate that French glitz and glamour:

• Breathtaking sea views: The film transports you to exclusive venues and high-society events, with a spectacular terrace overlooking the sea.

• Luxurious atmosphere: The dazzling costumes, casinos, and chosen locations create an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication.

Filming took place in late 2017 over approximately two weeks in various locations on the island, including this area, Puerto Portals, and a private house on the east coast.

The comedy centres on two master con artists with contrasting styles: Josephine Chesterfield (Anne Hathaway), a seductive and calculating British woman adept at swindling wealthy men; and Penny Rust (Rebel Wilson), a spontaneous and fun-loving Australian. Despite their differences, their talent and cunning combine in an explosive mix as they attempt to pull off a major heist, deceiving Thomas Westerburg (Alex Sharp), a naive tech billionaire.
