For the 2021 series cast and crew have returned to sun-soaked Mallorca to film. The villa for series 7 is in the picturesque village of Sant Lloren des Cardassar on the Balearic island of Mallorca, and show host Laura Whitmore gave fans a sneak peek inside this week at the new decor. In a video she showed people around the amazing outdoor spaces with "the best views of Mallorca" as well as a swimming pool and hot-tub.

The lounge is the new home for the doghouse, while The Hideaway, where lovebirds go for some private time, has some "new secret drawers". The new series of Love Island comes after it was postponed for a year due to the global coronavirus pandemic. The last series to take place was the winter edition which started in January 2020 taking place in South Africa which was won by Paige Turley and Finley Tapp. (Image: ITV/REX/Shutterstock)  While the villa is indeed a stunning space for a holiday, unfortunately when not in use for Love Island it is a private residence not currently listed for rental so cannot be booked for holidays. But there are a range of private hire villas and hotels in the same picturesque village of Sant Llorent des Cardassar.
