Love Island is just around the corner and some hot new singles are about to head to Majorca for a summer of love - here are all the behind the scenes secrets about what it's really like to be at the villa20:14, 27 May 2026Updated 20:20, 27 May 2026Come with me around the Love Island Villa!Tonight, on Love Island, a hot new bombshell reveals all the behind the scenes secrets about the villa. After having travelled to Majorca to visit the villa where 12 of the UK's singles will soon be coupling up for a summer of love, I have discovered many little bits and pieces about what it's really like behind the scenes...‌First up, there is just one toilet. Yes that's right, just the one that has to be shared between all the islanders. Last year, the islanders matched season four's record for the most number of contestants in the villa at one time, with 20 making it to the main villa after Casa Amor. So if that happens again, that's 20 people all sharing the same loo. The islanders seem to have made it work before though, fingers crossed they will do so again!‌‌Whilst waiting for the toilet, or if they want to pull someone for a sneaky chat, there are two new areas of the villa for Islanders to explore. Both of them are intimate sitting rooms that have enough room for two people to sit and confess their feelings for each other, despite knowing it'll cause a angst filled love triangle.The sitting areas are also big enough for a third person and are tucked away on the upper floor of the house, near the terrace. As such, they could be home to a lot of drama this season - whether that be tear-stained debriefs with your close knit friend group, or a screaming match after you've caught your partner on the terrace with someone else.‌In years gone by, those debriefs and arguments might have happened at the smoking area. Fans of the earlier series will remember Amber Davies' iconic eye roll when having an argument with Chris Hughes, Chris asking everyone if he should "rap to lift the mood a bit" and Malia Arkian almost coming to blows with Kady McDermott just a few minutes after the two met.But, alas, the smoking area is no more. It was removed from the show in 2018 in order to comply with broadcasting regulations with smoking on telly. The islanders still smoke, though - they just have to leave the villa to do it. And they can't take anyone else with them, because the last thing you want is for an important conversation to happen off screen.‌What about if things are going well for couple? Well, in those cases we might see someone make breakfast for their partner, in which case, the chef of the morning has access to eggs, bread, milk, juice, bacon and all the other essentials stocked in the fridge. The fridge is kept full of the basics for a good breakfast, as well as ready-to-cook pizzas for a late snack. They can also request specific foods to be added to the fridge if they want to do something special.And if things are going really well and they get a little... intimate? Whey they start doing bits or "opening the beauty salon" as the girls of 2022 Love Island said? The production team never want to single any couple out as having had sex so while the sheets are changed twice a week and before recouplings, they don't rush in to change the sheets if someone has had sex overnight.As for some of the recouplings and all of the scenes happening at night - they only start filming from 9pm at the earliest. This is because sunset in Majorca doesn't start until 9pm in June and can start as late as 9:30pm towards the end of the Love Island season. So to get those dramatic shots, where everything but the villa is pitch black they have to wait for the sun to have fully gone down.Article continues belowWhen everything is done and dusted and a winning couple has won £50,000 and (hopefully) the love of their lives, the whole villa is de-rigged. All the Love Island fixtures and fittings are taken apart and stripped away so that the villa is as it was before - an old, stone, equally pretty building in the Majorcan mountains.Love Island starts on Monday 1st June on ITV2 and ITVXLike this story?
