Can You Stay in the Love Island Villa?

The villas used in Love Island are available for rent, but they come with a hefty price tag. For example, the villa in Mallorca used for the UK series can cost over £5,000 per week when not in use for filming. And because the ITV team revamps the building each season, the villa we see during non-filming periods can be very different to how it looks on TV.

In fact, Mallorca features an abundance of luxurious villas available for rent. Many even offer similar features to the show’s villa, including private pools, stunning ocean views, and spacious outdoor areas perfect for soaking up the sun.

Fiji and South Africa also offer a wide range of vacation rentals, allowing you to channel your inner Islander in some of the most breathtaking locations on Earth. Of course, you can also consider Ludus Magnus, the South Africa villa used in Season 9.

Pro Tip: While searching for your perfect vacation rental, keep an eye out for amenities like fire pits, daybeds, and secluded areas – all essential ingredients for recreating those iconic Love Island moments.
