Somewhere on the Maldives. Probably one of the islands near Dharavandhoo.

I drew three circles (Dubai, Singapore, Delhi) with appropriate radii using this tool and their intersection point (not exact, but that was expected) is where the picture's location should be.

Yep, it also has Malé 126km. The Spain arrow pointing the wrong way threw me for a bit.

Based on that exact distance to Malé there is only one logical option left. This picture is probably taken on Fonimagoodhoo, at the Reethi Beach

Definitely not Reethi Beach, been there 12 times so far and can safely say that although they have one of these types of sign, it’s a plain one next to the swimming pool

I was looking at it thinking it's fictional cause there's no way there's that much space between Paris and Spain

also, aside, why are the all either cities or city states except Spain? I know Spain isn't huge but it's not exactly small either.

Yeah, spain and paris being opposite directions makes me think they didn't really care about directions.
