The Love Island villa has had a makeover for the eighth season.
For the new series the Love Island hopefuls will be shacking up inside a whole new villa. While still in Majorca, in Spain's Balearic Islands the 11 singletons will get to experience a brand new building and décor - boasting an infinity pool, huge bedrooms, and panoramic views.
The new villa for the ITV dating show will be bigger and better than ever - with even more secret spots to get up to mischief. Executive Producer Mike Spencer said the villa had had a "glow up."

He said: "The view is beautiful, we want people to tune in and say this is Love Island but it’s had a glow up. It’s slightly bigger, it’s a similar pool size but the space around it is bigger."
Today, Love Island's official Instagram account dropped a video giving fans a virtual tour of the villa. We take a look at some of the features.
The entrance and décor
The entrance to the villa doorway features a huge silver heart which contestants can walk through. The fire pit area, where contestants couple up and are dumped from the villa, has been extended and a runway has been installed to intensify the drama. The new digs follow a loose 1970s-style theme with a bright carpets and funky pink retro lights.
The bedroom
While the bedroom and sleeping area is larger than in previous years, the six beds now face each other. This will give contestants hardly any privacy but will be more similar to series one.
It will create a much more intimate sleeping arrangement. There is also a new sofa in the bigger bedroom so the couples have another quiet spot to pull someone for a chat.
On the walls, above the beds are huge pop-art pictures of suggestive mouths cheekily licking cherries and watermelons. There are quotes on the bedside tables which all have cute round lamps on.
The bathroom and dressing room
Islanders this year have been spoilt with an array of beauty products in the bathroom and the girls' dressing room, including makeup, which has been specially matched to each one of their skin tones for picture-perfect selfies. The wardrobe is full of summer outfits that have been styled by eBay, who are dressing this year's Islanders in pre-loved clothing.
Outdoor areas
The outdoor kitchen looks chic with a grey marble design, and of course, the villa comes kitted out with an outdoor gym for the singletons to work up a sweat.
They’ve got rid of the usual on show day beds near the kitchen and installed a new huge circular day bed in the dappled shade of a tree at the end of the garden - away from prying eyes. Alongside the usual sun loungers there are two new beds in the water of the pool.
Love Island starts at 9pm Monday 6th June on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox
