where is the island in evil under the sun
Evil Under the Sun (1982 film) The actual island used for aerial shots is Sa Dragonera, an uninhabited islet with "natural park" status, located just off the west coast of Majorca near Sant Elm.[9][10] Other locations used were Cala Blanca[a] as Ladder Bay, and offshore at Sant Elm[b] for the south of France (Sir Horace's boat scenes). Cala d'en Monjo[c] was used for the exteriors of Daphne's Cove and Hotel; the hotel itself was a private estate later bought by the Island Council of Majorca (along with Ajuntament de Calvià - Municipal) to create a natural park, which was demolished to its foundations. Gull Cove is the remote Cala en Feliu on the Formentor Peninsula.[11][d] The other hotel exterior shots were filmed at the Raixa Estate,[e] a large Italian style villa surrounded by Pietro Lazzarini-designed gardens, located in Bunyola, north of Palma.[12] Once owned by the German designer Jil Sander, it was subsequently purchased by the Island Council of Majorca.[13] Finally, Poirot boards his boat to the island from Cala de Deià, the coastal area of the exclusive town.[14]
