Love Island villa axed as show bosses search for new location

The Villa from 2020's Love Island

Over the last five years, fans of Love Island have become well used to the Villa.

The ultra-luxurious gaf on the Spanish Island of Majorca has become almost like another character on the show, hosting all the drama that's bound to come from a bunch of young singletons being thrown together and cut off from the outside world.

But it looks like the era could be coming to an end amid reports that show bosses are looking for another location.

The Sun reports that producers feel now is the right time to make a change to the show and are on the lookout for other luxurious properties.

It's reported the new villa could be in the foothills of mountains, by a lake or to the coast, exposing contestants to new elements - but it's expected the show will remain on the island of Majorca.

However sources have apparently confirmed fan-fav features of the villa, like the fire pit and swimming pool, will return.

The eighth series of the show is set to return this summer on ITV2, with the process of recruiting the new contestants already well under way.
