Love Island to relocate to Portugal?

This summer's edition of Love Island could reportedly be relocated from Spain to Portugal.

Next summer's edition of Love Island could reportedly take place in Portugal rather than Spain to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary.

The ITV2 dating show is traditionally set in Marbella - and will be again this year - with the winter versions to date being held in sunny South Africa.

According to The Mirror, however, for summer 2025 producers are considering potential new villas in the Algarve, including one that is supposedly "shaped like a UFO".

A source told the newspaper: "ITV Studios are scouting out properties for an unconfirmed forthcoming series and are prepared to splash out £20k a week on the right one.

"They've got their eye on an incredible sprawling villa in the Algarve that is completely different to their more traditional current abode.

"It's circular and really modern, and it's been used for a French reality show before so it's well set up for filming."

This year's series is on track to begin on ITV2 in June and will run as usual for eight weeks.
