If you fancy heading to the villa yourself, it is now easier than ever to apply - and you can use your Tinder profile to do so.
For the first time ever, Tinder users can apply by swiping right to a Love Island swipe card in the app - and selected members will be added to a 'Priority List' and seen by the casting team.
Renate Nyborg, EMEA General Manager at Tinder, said: "Bringing together the world’s most popular dating app and an iconic dating show is the perfect match! Tinder has the UK’s widest and most diverse community of singletons, so as this long-awaited dating season heats up, being on Tinder can change everything... Whether that’s sparking new connections, or kicking off your journey to the Love Island villa!"

ITV confirmed earlier this month that Love Island will return for 2021, after it was cancelled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Currently, it is not known whether the series will be able to film in Mallorca - and a source previously told The Sun that they're looking at UK locations just in case.
An insider told the publication: “In a perfect world Love Island would be filmed at original villa they use in Mallorca.
“But the pandemic has meant contingency plans are more important than ever and other locations have been discussed for the show.
“The Greek island of Crete was one which became a favourite due to its accessibility and stunning locations.
“Nothing is off the cards for Love Island at the moment."
