Where is Love Island filmed this year? The 2025 villa's location and changes
All Stars is back in South Africa once more.
As snow, wind and plenty of rain passes through the UK, there is a sunny escape coming to TV screens in the form of Love Island: All Stars!
The highly anticipated second season is back on ITV2 on Monday 13th January, with familiar faces making a return to the villa and for some, they may have already stepped into this villa before.
The upcoming season is being filmed in South Africa, which was previously home of the winter series before it was replaced with All Stars.
With a newly-refurbished villa, it should hopefully prove the location for new relationships to blossom, as well as for some awkward reunions to take place.
Here's everything you need to know about the new Love Island villa and all the places where the show is filmed.
Where is Love Island filmed?
While the summer show is filmed in Majorca, Love Island: All Stars will be filmed in South Africa, with the Islanders set to arrive in their new home for the next five weeks soon.
The All Stars villa is situated between a mountain range and wine-valley in Franschhoek, South Africa.
It is the same villa that was used in the 2023 winter series, but looks slightly different due to a recent refurbishment.
The villa, which is named the Ludus Magnus, is located near Cape Town and is reportedly worth £1.2 million.
For season 8, the series took place in a villa in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Mallorca.
What is the Love Island villa like?
The estate features two swimming pools, surrounded by the famous sun loungers for the Islanders to soak in the sun and crack on.
The 17-bedroom property has also been kitted out with classic Love Island staples, from colourful patio furniture, pool decking, multiple beds in the shared bedrooms, and this villa now has some extra features.
For the 2025 season, there is a new secret garden, with a rule that couples cannot enter together and is rather somewhere to sneak away to.
There is also a new hideaway with two double beds.
Where was the old Love Island villa?
The villa featured in season 8 and was located in Mallorca.
It includes a bedroom, lounge area, make-up room, bathroom, beach hut, balcony, outdoor kitchen, pool, and fire pit and is said to be worth £2.7 million.
Speaking about some of the designs for season 8, the executive producer Mike Spencer said at the time that it was the "biggest bedroom" they've ever had on the show.
"So basically the idea behind this was we wanted to take it back to what it used to be in the early series where they're opposite each other. So yeah, it has that because I think there's so much more banter when you're cross and going to bed at night."
There was also more space in the girls' dressing room, with six tables instead of four, which will make it more comfortable for when the house gets a little more crowded with bombshells.
Can you rent the Love Island 2025 villa and stay there on holiday?
You can!
The Ludus Magnus is bookable for the exclusive use of the property, featuring eight Manor House rooms and three villas – however, you need to contact the owners for prices and rates.
You can find out more on the Ludus Magnus website.
Love Island All Stars starts Monday 13th January and airs Sundays to Fridays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
