Since first being broadcast in 2015, Love Island has proved to be a hit with viewers year upon year.

The iconic villa has undergone many changes throughout the years and has always been based in Mallorca.

The original Love Island villa, which was used for the first two series was situated in Santanyi, Mallorca.

And the five-bedroom villa was snapped up by a mystery buyer in March 2022.

The subsequent villa which is still now used for shows is located in Mallorca, in Sant Llorenç des Cardᴀssar, which is on the east coast of the island.

The villa underwent huge renovations after filming concluded for the 2022 series and last year a secret new Hideaway was revealed which requires ‘no invite.’

It also boasts a 20m swimming pool, plush sun loungers, brand new day beds and the famous firepit.

The cast also have an outdoor kitchen as well as an outdoor shower, a shared bedroom, a ladies ‘glam room’ and shared bathrooms.

There is also the famous terrace where secret chats usually take place, although this year the fencing around it has been made shorter and smaller making it easier for the other islanders to spot what’s going on up there.

Fans of the show can even book their very own stay at the villa – but it will not come in cheap.

A one-week holiday would set you back around £5,000, but anyone booking the property will have access to six bedrooms.
