When Was Love Island: Beyond the Villa Filmed
Love Island: Beyond the Villa was filmed in 2023, ahead of its release in early 2024. Production took place while the main Love Island series was also in its off-season window, allowing the cast to return for additional filming.
Where Was Beyond the Villa Filmed
The spin-off was filmed in South Africa, using a private villa and surrounding locations separate from the main show's usual Mallorca set. The change in scenery was designed to give the series a different look while keeping the format recognizable.
How the Filming Schedule Differed from the Main Series
Unlike the main series, which is filmed live during the summer, Beyond the Villa was produced as a standalone spin-off with a shorter timeline. The cast lived together for a condensed period, and episodes were pre-recorded before airing on ITV2 and streaming platforms.
