The stars of Love Island 2019 will be settling into some very swanky digs as the famous villa has been given a sparking makeover for the new series.
Work on the new set in Majorca has been going on for weeks, and it’s now finally read for the new arrivals.
The new look villa features a totally revamped version of the Hideaway, complete with a private patio and hot tub where the couples can get steamy away from the prying eyes of the other contestants.
Show bosses decided to move the hot tub from the garden into the private love shack in the hope that it will get more use – and encourage the couples to get frisky.
Producer Richard Cowles said: “The hot tub barely got used when it was in the garden and when it was usually four or five people were in there which isn’t very romantic.

“It was never private. As we always seem to get more action in the hideaway because it’s secluded our feeling was that it would be better to move the tub there as we are likely to see romance.”
The Hideaway’s bedroom is even more romantic with a mirrored ceiling, faux fur throw and serene lighting.
The bedroom looks pretty similar to every year, but it looks even more cosy with the beds all close together.

There are also fully made up day beds outside where the couples can do some snuggling under the stars with a bit more privacy.
New additions include the updated slogans that cover the walls, a globe so the contestants can learn about geography and swanky new seating areas outdoors.
There are updates to the bathrooms and dressing rooms as well as a really comfy-looking chair in the Beach Hut.

Another change for this year seems to be an increase in the number of cosy private nooks dotted around the property, where the couples can have a word with each tother.
There had previously been reports suggesting the Hideaway had been axed this year, but Mirror Online confirmed producers were still planning to include it.
The pairs usually sleep together in the communal bedroom, but throughout the series they get the chance to be picked for a night in the Hideaway retreat.

With their striking good looks, banging bodies and burning desire to win, both women are sure to spark trouble in the Love Island villa – especially if they both set eyes on the same man.
“Molly-Mae and Jazmine have competed with each other since they were young teens – they know each other’s strengths and weaknesses,” said a source.
“They are both national queens who are used to competing and will do everything they can to beat each other.”
The two beauties have already clashed when Molly-Mae won the World Teen Supermodel UK crown in 2016 – and Jazmine was her runner-up.
