We’d just about prepared ourselves for a long, hard summer without our usual dose of Love Island to keep us entertained when ITV2 swooped in to save our TV schedules with the news that they’d be airing the first series of Love Island Australia.
Of course, we became obsessed with the Aussie Islanders as they hooked up, romanced and re-coupled over six weeks and we know we weren’t the only ones.
Well, now that the show's over, there’s even MORE good news for fans as you can actually stay in the very villa that the show was filmed in.
The stylish luxury villa overlooks the Bay of Pollença in Mallorca and is located just 10 minutes away from the area’s beaches (the absolute dream tbh).
With a whopping six bedrooms and six bathrooms, there’s enough room for your whole squad and, if that wasn’t enough, there’s both a sea-facing outdoor swimming pool AND an outdoor jacuzzi to cool off in.
BRB, we’re off to look for our passport.
CHECK OUT Love Island Australia: which couples are still together? (spoiler: not many)
Which Love Island Australia couples are still together?
1 of 5Grant and Tayla: SPLIT
It's fair to say Grant and Tayla had a rocky ride in the villa due to their love triangle with his former flame Cassidy and things got just as messy on the outside world. Shortly after they won the show, it was rumoured that Grant had been in a secret relationship the entire time he was in the villa.Despite denying the rumours, Grant got together with his rumoured secret girlfriend Lucy just two weeks after being dumped by Tayla and they're still together now. Tayla, on the other hand, re-coupled with fellow Islander Dom Thomas but they broke up earlier this year. She's now dating Australian footballer Nathan Broad.
2 of 5Eden and Erin: SPLIT
Eden and Erin coupled up on their very first day in the villa and made it all the way to the final but it wasn't quite as smooth sailing on the outside world, where they lasted just two months before calling it quits.In a joint statement, the pair said, 'We look back and cherish the time we have spent together, the memories we have created, in both Spain and in Australia. We can't thank each and everyone of you enough for the support and love you have shown us, but we have to be honest within ourselves as we realise that our forever as a couple is no longer.'Since then, Eden has moved on with Married At First Sight star Cyrell Jiminez-Paule, who gave birth to their son Boston in February 2020, while Erin lives with her boyfriend Mick Russell.
3 of 5Josh and Amelia: TOGETHER
Proving love DOES still exist, third-place finalists Josh and Amelia are still going strong outside the villa. They made things official shortly after flying back to Australia, when Josh asked Amelia to be his girlfriend, and now live together in Sydney.Amelia recently admitted their relationship had gone through a rough patch in lockdown but they've made it through the other side and regularly share loved-up snaps on Instagram. Cuuuute.
4 of 5Dom and Shelby: SPLIT
It's probably no surprise that Dom and Shelby are no longer an item, seeing as we've already mentioned he got together with Tayla following her split from Grant.Announcing his split from Shelby on Instagram in August 2018, Dom wrote, 'We have decided that we are best off as friends. This is something we had both recently discussed and agreed upon and is not a sudden decision. We are very close friends and will continue to talk to each other. Unfortunately with the distance and our busy schedules it is difficult for anything to progress further with us.'Dom's now thought to be single after splitting from Tayla, while Shelby is in a relationship with Motocross rider Harry Bink.
5 of 5Mark and Millie: SPLIT
Mark and Millie gave things a good go on the outside world and even had plans to launch their own fashion label but sadly announced their split in March 2019.'Mark and I have had such an amazing time together and we will forever cherish our special moments, unfortunately at this point in time we have decided we are both going in different directions and have to part ways, we still remain very close friends,' Millie said at the time.

Viewers will be more used to the villa’s outdoor areas like the al fresco dining areas, terraces and balconies, which the Islanders used to pull each other for chats, but the swanky interior offers just about anything you could want in a holiday home.
Not only is there a spacious living area and fully equipped modern kitchen, but visitors can also relax in the villa’s cinema room or work up a sweat in the private gym. Oh, and there’s also a wine cellar.
It doesn’t come cheap though as a 7-night stay starts from £11,429.
WOWZER, we better get saving then.

Although he insisted this wasn’t true, Grant went official with rumoured secret girlfriend Lucy just two weeks after being dumped by Tayla and they’re still together now.
Tayla, on the other hand, later re-coupled with fellow Islander Dom Thomas but they broke up earlier this year and she’s now dating Australian footballer Nathan Broad.
