Season 8 of Love Island USA premieres on June 2
The new episodes take place in the same Fijian villa as season 7
The Peacock reality dating series has also been set in Las Vegas, Hawaii and Los Angeles
When Love Island USAreturns for the show's eighth season, contestants will be settling into a familiar tropical setting.
The reality dating series — an international edition of the original U.K. version — brings together a group of single contestants (Islanders) into one villa to find love.
Throughout their time in the villa, the Islanders are presented with a series of tests, including new bombshell contestants, Casa Amor and more. The villas serve as a backdrop to the entire show, providing Islanders with a variety of areas to lounge and chat.
Season 8 — which premieres on June 2 — takes place at the same Fijian villa that the previous installments of Love Island USA were filmed.
In June 2026, host Ariana Madix shared a tour of the villa ahead of the new episodes, including a waterfront lounge called Say Less, telling viewers, "Looking for new ways to heighten your chance for romance? Say less."

Several seasons of Love Island USA have been filmed in Fiji, including seasons 1, 5, 6, 7 and now 8.
Arielle Vandenberg, who hosted the show’s first three seasons, gave fans a tour of the first-ever villa for the U.S. series in 2019. The house featured 3,000 locally sourced Fijian plants for the gardens, outdoor decks and custom-printed fabrics from Fiji, Los Angeles and Sydney. The Hideaway was designed by Jonathan Adler.
Season 5 took place in a different house. In addition to a new "Sunset Nook," the property featured Love Island villa staples like a heart shower, communal bedroom, private lounge and a fire pit, according to a 2023 tour.
For the season 6 villa, over 50 locals worked with the show’s production designer to renovate an existing property, per Today. The 50,000 square foot property sported two pools, an Hideaway, a ping pong table and more.

The installment was filmed at Water Falling Estate in Nīnole, Hawaii, per Forbes. The property included two waterfalls and a water slide, according to Entertainment Tonight.
“It was a wild ride to see the creatives at CBS/Love Island USA turn our typically zen Big Island oasis to a candyland of color, lights, patterns and party energy!” the property's Instagram account posted after the season wrapped up in September 2021.
It continued, “I wish we could have kept the fire pit, all of the cool decks & thousands of twinkle lights - but was fun to see what big vision & imagination can create!”
