Inside Winter Love Island's raunchiest villa yet - sex toy 'playtime' area to intimate rooms

Producers have redesigned the Love Island villa to give contestants more opportunities than ever to have sex.

The new villa has been kitted out with extra nooks for couples to disappear into, and have boosted the Hideaway into a retreat space Austin Powers would feel at home in.

They have also added a secluded treehouse to give couples even more space from their fellow contestants.

For the first time ever, couples will be able to take entire weekends away from the villa, to get to know each other "intimately".

Host Maya Jama says of the plush new Hideaway Retreat: "It will definitely bring out the romance."

She also compared the purple, velvet setting as looking like a setup from an Austin Powers movie.

They will be filling a new "playtime" area with sex toys, lubricant and sexy outfits in a bid to boost the couple’s more private time away from other contestants.

"It's going to be like a little weekend away - it's lovely," said Maya.

"It will definitely bring out the romance. You'd feel like you're on a separate holiday."

Creative Director Mike Spencer says the boost to the stash is deliberate, giving an entire wardrobe for adult toys and lingerie.

"In previous years, we have had a little drawer. But this year we have: playtime!" he said, while showing the Mirror around the new venue with Maya.

While the shelves still lay empty ahead of next Monday night's launch show, he laughs: "There's lots left to unpack, but this will be full.

"It's the biggest Hideaway we've ever had, it's a retreat, it's a place to get intimate and get to know your partner."

A brand new treehouse perched above the garden area gives contestants an opportunity to disappear for even more private chats, in a secluded bedded area.

Mike says: "It gives you a totally intimate area, it's a perfect spot to be alone."

Contestants will be looking for love in the sprawling new £1.2million Ludus Magnus villa in the wine region of Franschhoek.

Set in 25 acres, the new location boasts an Olympic length swimming pool, a vineyard, a treehouse and stage area.

Though despite having 17 bedrooms, contestants will all share a room as usual. They can depart to the Dog House if they do not wish to share a bed with their partners.

The winter series of Love Island launches on Monday night (January 16) at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
