The ITV2 dating show returns on June 9 and there looks set to be the usual mix of love triangles, bedroom trysts and messy breakups as contestants make their way to the island.
This year's crop of hopefuls include a Declan Rice body double, firebreather and Maura Higgins lookalike.
This year, the show celebrates a decade on screens and promises to have 'more twists and turns than ever before' in honour of their 10-year anniversary.
The series, which has been streamed over two billion times on ITVX, has seen over 300 Islanders pass through the villa doors over the years, including the likes of Olivia Attwood, Dani Dyer, Chris Hughes, and Molly-Mae Hague.
On Sunday Maya made sure to turn heads in a glamorous floral gown as she touched down in Mallorca.
The star looked nothing short of sensational in the fitted plunging number which showed off her amazing figure.
The Bottega Veneta designer dress, which retails for over £7,000, boasted intricate red floral appliques on the chest and skirt.
It is a celebrity favourite having previously been worn by American actress Julianne Moore at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024.
Maya elevated her frame in a pair of white Prada heels and accessorised with a gold hoops and a white bag.
Earlier in the day, Maya had landed in Mallorca by a private jet having just come off a very lavish holiday with her boyfriend Ruben Dias.
She took to her Instagram stories teasing a video of herself and the footballer, 27, on board the exclusive transport.
Moving to the song Music Sounds Better With You by Stardust, Maya pulled silly faces and showed off her dance moves, before leaning into the hunky sportsman who also joined in the fun with a little pump of the air.
She captioned her video: 'Getting dropped off to Majorca. Love Island fans you can rest I'm going to work now and so is he'.
Maya - who has been enjoying a romantic Italian getaway with her new boyfriend - was dressed down for the journey in an oversized black jumper, gold hoops and sunglasses.
The TV star is thought to have been dating the footballer, for several months, and has been keeping fans updated with the duo's lavish holiday via her Instagram, which included her soaking up the sun on the deck of a lavish yacht.
On Thursday, the stunner shared her first ever snap with Ruben as she gave an insight into their romantic trip.
The couple are believed to have met after the stunner caught the Portuguese player's eye when they met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November.
Their romance was finally confirmed after they were seen packing on the PDA at KSI 's Baller League event in April.
And posting a snap with her new boyfriend for the first time, Maya looked incredible in a triangle bikini while soaking up some sun on a boat.
She later dived into the water while Ruben filmed her from the top deck.
The pair went Instagram official two weeks ago, when Maya shared a video with Ruben for the first time.

Yoann Bourgeois on his mindblowing viral stair climbing act: ‘I want to return to the spirit of childhood'
You may have seen a certain video online of a man climbing some stairs. Actually, he's repeatedly falling from them but then magically bounces back up, weightless as a moon-walker. Out of sight is a trampoline, which gently catapults his looping, twisting body up the staircase each time he falls, turning a would-be simple journey into an epic, poetic odyssey that has caught the internet's imagination. Pop star Pink saw it and immediately got on the phone to its creator; Martin Short even made his own version on Only Murders in the Building. The act is the work of French choreographer-director Yoann Bourgeois, 43, whose live performances have been touring festivals for years. But the popularity of his videos online has propelled him into new realms, working with Harry Styles, Coldplay, Selena Gomez and Louis Vuitton. He continues to create new, live work and brings his latest outdoor piece, Passage, to Greenwich and Docklands festival this summer. Some people run away to the circus; others have it arrive on their doorstep. Bourgeois' parents separated when he was growing up in Jura, eastern France, and their house was sold to a circus group, Cirque Plume. Bourgeois was already interested in theatre (and later studied dance) and he began to train with the group. 'In a way I was looking for a way to get back home,' he says, via a translator. It wasn't just about returning to the physical building, but the spirit of childhood. 'I really wanted to continue to be a child. I've searched for a life where I can continue to play; it drives my career even now.' What Bourgeois plays with are the invisible physical forces that surround us – gravity, tension, suspension – and the interaction between those forces, the performers' bodies and symbolic ideas. For example in Ellipse, the dancers are in costumes like lifesize Weebles with semi-circular bases, rocking and spinning, but never falling. A man and woman 'dance' together, swaying past each other but never quite managing to connect. (Missy Elliott wore a version of the same costume in her video Cool Off.) In Celui Qui Tombe (He Who Falls), the performers stand on a wooden platform that rotates, at some speed, then tilts, forcing their bodies to lean at precarious angles to keep their balance, and the group have to navigate this peril together. The short piece Bourgeois is bringing to London is called Passage, and features a revolving mirrored door and pole dancer Yvonne Smink hanging, swinging, balancing and turning the simple act of crossing a threshold into something of infinite possibilities. Much like the way sculptor Antony Gormley hit upon a universal idea in his use of the body, Bourgeois works with the same kind of directness: a seemingly simple setup or visual idea that represents something huge – life, death, time, mortality, struggle, hope – in a way that's easily readable but can feel profound. Here he is talking about suspension: 'In physics, suspension means the absence of weight. But if we speak about time, suspension means absolute presence. And I think this cross between absence of weight and absolute presence is like a small window on eternity. That's what I search for: to catch the present, to intensify the present.' Even though Bourgeois seeks to be live in the ephemeral moment, you can see why the recorded versions have gone viral. He admits his work looks good on screen. 'I feel very lucky because, by chance, my work can be eloquent in this kind of frame, on Instagram for example,' he says. He's interested in clarity not overcomplication and embraces his wide fanbase. 'I didn't grow up in a family interested in art,' says Bourgeois, and that's who he imagines making his work for. He's reaching even more eyeballs now with his pop star collaborations. For the Harry Styles video As It Was, Bourgeois designed another revolving platform that saw Styles and his lover being pulled together and apart. 'Behind the superficial pop veneer of the song, there's a great sense of despair,' he says. Bourgeois designs his own stage machines, but the revolving floor is, he points out, a very old theatrical device. The question of what's truly new in art came to the fore when he was accused of plagiarism in a video posted online comparing scenes from his work with scenes from other artists. There are some striking similarities but Bourgeois is robust in his defence, saying that the works referenced motifs from the history of art, which he considers to be in the public domain. Many circus performers will use the same props. 'If you use just a frame of a video, it's easy to make a comparison,' he says. 'What is original is the treatment and the creative process.' We need to look at the whole work rather than an isolated image, he insists. What's certain is that Bourgeois can turn universal ideas into something eye-catching that connects deeply with audiences – imbued with the wonder of circus and the grace of dance. Greenwich and Docklands international festival runs from 22 August to 6 September. Passage is part of Dancing City at the festival on 6 September
