Pala OOC

Since this is an original setting, I've decided to create this small post so that you can have some resource material, if you're looking for some material that may give you a better visual or reference point. Not all of these are exactly like the setting, but have similar locations.

Films & Television
The Beach
Couples Retreat
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
Lost
Skeleton Key
Revenge (different setting, but could have similar themes)

Books
The Island by Aldous Huxley (where the name Pala originates)
The Beach by Alex Garland
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Sookie Stackhouse Novels (for some supernatural elements)

Music
Pala by Friendly Fires (where I first heard the name)
The Beach Score & Soundtrack

You can also look at websites and guides for real locations like Hawaii, the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand, Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.
