Can you rent the Love Island villa?

published 3 June 22

A fresh crop of Islanders are trying to find The One, and it's hard not to feel a little envious of them catching the sun rays in swimwear all summer long. If you're after a sunny holiday of your own—although hopefully with far less drama—perhaps you've been wondering: can you rent the Love Island villa?

While we've come to know the original luxury property very well over the show's past five seasons—from confessions in the 'Beach Hut' to heart-to-hearts at the Firepit—things have changed slightly in terms of location for Love Island 2022. The Love Island filming location has changed but that doesn't mean you can't get a taste of the firepit experience.

The luxurious property would make a particularly special vacation for dedicated fans of the show. They will be able to reminisce—at leisure—over all the most memorable Love Island moments that they've seen on screen, from the exact spot where they took place. That's our type of trip.

However, it would make the perfect holiday spot for any group of friends. As you'll have become acquainted with over several seasons, there is a stunning outdoor space—including numerous day beds and an infinity pool, so you can spend all day switching between sunbathing and cooling off. There's also plenty of space inside too—and while it's unclear how many it sleeps, we've seen the Islanders snuggle up in six double beds, meaning huge potential for a big girly getaway.

Now, while the same gorgeous villa has appeared in the past five seasons, the producers rent rather than own the property. This means that, in theory, you can too. Although it doesn't come cheap. According to The Sun (opens in new tab) in 2019, it will set you back a whopping £3,000 a week—meaning it's probably pricier now—and it's likely there's a bit of waiting too. What's more, it was sold in March for £2.57million to a new owner, with its future not yet clear. So, perhaps don't count on it for your next Mediterranean stay.

However, don't be too disappointed. You can most certainly crack on with Casa Amor—just a short walk away—which has previously been available to book via Villa Retreats (opens in new tab) for between £4,572 and £8,128 for a week, depending on the time of year. It has four bedrooms, five bathrooms and a picturesque pool area.
