The huge property will see the brand-new stars, who were announced today, living in luxury under the South African sun.

The Hideaway and Casa Amor are making a comeback - but with a twist - as they'll be on the same site as the main villa.

And all the usual features have been revived too - but are even bigger and better.

A new video shared by Love Island has today revealed the huge new fire pit, day beds overlooking the pool, and the biggest every outdoor gym.

The cheeky makeover has left even ex Love Islanders in awe.

And Chloe Crowhurst said: "Insane!"

Something new for viewers to feast their eyes on is the treehouse.

Maya explained: "The daybeds are where people will go and sleep if they have been naughty at night!"

The Treehouse

The latest addition to the villa is the brand-new Treehouse, which has the perfect view towards the distant mountains.

While a little difficult to access, the Treehouse offers one-on-one space for Islanders to escape for some secret fun.

Hidden among the branches, which are of course ridden with ITV2 cameras, it makes for the perfect date spot.

Teasing how the new addition might be used, Mike said: "We can have a bombshell waiting at the top for people."

Host Maya added of the space: "If you're on a little secret date, this would be a great place to come and spy, I'd be spying on all the Islanders if I was up here."

"Or you could come up for a massive snog," she added.

Love Island returns to ITV2 on Monday, 16 January at 9pm.
