Love Island might be all about singletons lookin for love. But now it’s their team that’s doing the searching as they start property hunting for a new villa.

They’ve filmed in the current villa for the past five years, with it playing home to stars like Molly-Mae Hague, Tommy Fury, Amber Gill, Maura Higgins, Greg O’Shea, and Amy Hart.

While the villa might be moving, it’s not going far, as they are looking for a place on the same island as before; Majorca in Spain. They plan on “moving to the foothills of mountains, by a lake or to the coast. ”

On the reason behind the new space, a source told the Sun, “ITV bosses think this is the right moment to refresh this element of the show, just as they did in series three back in 2017.

“Bosses are conscious of the fact that this is also an opportunity to consider all the new elements they could introduce to enhance the show even further.”

“For fans of Love Island this is huge news and they’ll be eager to see what the new villa looks like and how much it could change the show.”

While the news of a new house is exciting, it seems we’re going to have to wait to see the pad. As the new villa won’t be revealed until this summer.

This isn’t the first villa switch up on the show. Season one and two took place in a luxury house in south Majorca’s Santanyi region. Then, in 2017, they moved to the current location in North-Eastern Majorca.

Sounds like it’s time Phil and Kirsty to join the villa!
