A beautiful tropical island is the backdrop to real-life drama as five long-term couples whose relationships are in crisis embark on a mission to reignite their love in The Last Resort, premiering Tuesday, May 9, at 7.30pm on Channel Nine. 
 
In this groundbreaking new Australian series, the couples will be sent to an island retreat where they will undertake a series of relationship tasks and challenges in a fight to save their love. Can The Last Resort save these couples?

Psychologist Sandy Rea and relationship coach Michael Myerscough will work closely with the couples, offering them guidance and support to help reignite the passion in their relationships.
