A holiday-goer shared a clip of the villa from a short distance away and told fans had rented a nearby property.
It showed the villa surrounded by trees with its iconic lights seen for miles.
The person captioned it: "POV you just found the Love Island villa."
They revealed what it was like, saying: "It's literally in the middle of nowhere and it has security all around it.
"We stayed in the villa next door two years ago and had to drive past security everyday. It's a beautiful area."
The villa itself will be available to rent after the hit ITV2 show ends – and it's a perfect venue for your summer getaway.
The swanky villa features all sorts of amenities you'll want for a holiday, including the iconic infinity pool.
After the show ends it'll look completely different, with no cameras in and a homely vibe created with a complete interior overhaul.
There will be no neon signage but instead rustic additions, including exposed brickwork and snug sofas.
Owners of the posh pad say it'll sleep 12 people, but obviously during Love Island we've seen a lot more than that squeezed in.
Those visiting will also have some hotspots on their doorstep, including the quaint villages of Arta and Sant Llorenc, and it can all be rented through holiday home rental site Fincallorca.

Women's Aid calls out Love Island for showing 'unhealthy patterns of behaviour'
Women's Aid has spoken up after Love Island contestant Harrison, and others, were slammed by viewers for their petrifying behaviour. The reality show hosted by Maya Jama has returned for another season of love triangles, shocking betrayals and unexpected sparks, but one contestant, Harrison, has left a bad taste in people's mouths. After arriving in the villa, Harrison formed a connection with Toni but when he went over to Casa Amor he struck up a relationship with another woman, Lauren, who he brought back to the main villa. After being intimate with her not once, but twice, without Toni's knowledge, it seemed as though he was still stringing her along, leading fans to call his behaviour out. In the latest episode, Toni decided to recouple with Harrison, a decision which provoked upset from even her mum who took to social media to express her dismay at the decision.

'I feel like I just watched my daughter walk out onto train tracks, and there is a bullet train coming right for her,' she said nearly in tears in a three-minute TikTok video. Meanwhile, one fan on X, metgirl, wrote: 'Harrison is genuinely one of the most sickening men ever to be on Love Island.. all he has done is make Toni AND Lauren feel crazy, and he fully enjoys watching them mentally struggle.. sick sick man.' Another, clivetheunicorn, added: 'Is Harrison the biggest villain we've seen?' User ao41825 called his behaviour 'so disgusting' and Alisha called him 'evil'. Other men who have been called out for their behaviour include Harry and Ben, whom Maya herself criticised in the show after comments they made about the women's sexual history and looks. In a new statement in response to Harrison and the other men's behaviour on the show, Women's Aid -a national charity working to end domestic abuse against women & children – released a statement to The Tab. 'In recent years, Love Island and other forms of reality TV have been repeatedly called out by viewers for allowing in contestants that had a history of abusive, coercive and manipulative behaviour in previous relationships. 'As a result, production companies have been more careful when it comes to selecting contestants and calling out toxic behaviours when we see them,' the statement started. Communications manager Jess Wyrne added, however, that 'despite these positive steps, we still see unhealthy patterns of behaviour on these shows, showing just how steeped in misogyny and sexism our society still is.' She continued: 'Women are often lied to, slut-shamed and manipulated, as well as laughed at behind their backs.' Warning of the links between misogyny and sexism leading to 'tolerance of abuse and violence' they added this publicly displayed behaviour 'reinforces a culture that excuses and trivialises violence against women and girls'. The charity has urged more to be done to 'educate contestants' on these issues and praised viewers for calling this toxic behaviour out when they see it. It is not the first time Women's Aid has had to step in during a season of Love Island. In 2022, the charity confirmed it was in talks with ITV regarding duty of care regarding relationships after a series of contestants such as Luca Bish and Dami Hope were called out for how they addressed the women in the villa. More Trending Then, in 2023, Women's Aid urged Love Island to take the accusations of 'controlling' behaviour against former contestant George Fensom seriously after his ex-partners spoke out against him. Meanwhile, per Glamour, Ofcom has reported over 1,000 complaints against the show in just a two-day period earlier this month, with the majority concerning 'a combination of alleged bullying and misogynistic behaviour by a number of contestants'. Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2 every day except Saturday. View More » Metro has reached out to ITV for comment. Got a story?

Notting Hill Carnival boss – ‘We can't ignore impact of knife crime on our event'
The boss of Notting Hill Carnival has said 'we can't ignore the impact of knife crime on our event' as he pledged to work alongside a charity set up by actor Idris Elba. Matthew Phillip, the chief executive of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, said the event is 'not the cause' of knife crime, but 'can be a part of the solution', after a number of deaths in recent years. The carnival has partnered with the actor's Elba Hope Foundation and its campaign Don't Stop Your Future (DSYF) to combat knife and violent crime in London communities, ahead of the event, which takes place over the August bank holiday weekend. It has also secured extra funding from local councils and the mayor of London to improve safety and infrastructure. The carnival has faced criticism in recent years for not tackling violent crime. It comes after the murders of two people last year, Cher Maximen, who was killed in front of her three-year-old daughter, and chef Mussie Imnetu, who was repeatedly punched and kicked during an altercation. Takayo Nembhard was stabbed at the age of 21 in 2022. The carnival says it is often portrayed as the cause of knife crime, which it denies, but says it wants to use its spotlight for positive action. Concerns over safety at the carnival have also contributed to insecurity about its future, and the festival's organisers wrote to the Government earlier this year to ask for urgent funding. Carnival chairman Ian Comfort asked for money to steward the event and address safety concerns, amid ongoing warnings from police that there could be a fatality. Eventually City Hall, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea council and Westminster city council provided money, allowing this year's event to take place. Matthew Phillip, the chief executive of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, said: 'We can't ignore the impact of knife crime on our event. 'The tragic deaths of Takayo Nembhard and Cher Maximen broke the hearts of their friends and families as well as our communities and, three years on, the family and friends of Takayo still don't have justice. 'These young people didn't lose their lives because of carnival; carnival is not the cause of this crisis, but it can be part of the solution. 'In that spirit, Carnival aligns perfectly with the principles of DSYF. 'Their ongoing work to help disenfranchised young people to make better choices is a productive and sustainable action to a very complex and, ultimately, sad problem. 'They show that there is choice, and we are working with them to amplify this message that we hope will let people know there are other options. 'The Elba Hope Foundation is about creating real pathways for young people, to build confidence, develop skills and find belonging. 'Carnival provides one of the few creative and cultural outlets left for our youth. That's why we must protect it, invest in it and use its platform to uplift others.' The carnival will run from August 23 to 25 and features parades, steelpan, costumes, bands, sound systems and stages. People will be invited to join a 72-second silence at 3pm on Sunday and Monday to honour people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire, and Kelso Cochrane, who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in Notting Hill in 1959.

MasterChef's future revealed following John Torode and Gregg Wallace's double axe
The future of BBC's MasterChef has been revealed after both hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode have been axed from the popular show The future of BBC's MasterChef has been 'revealed' as - John Torode and Gregg Wallace 's final series will reportedly still air - despite their double axing. Last December, it was reported that Grace Dent would be joining John Torode in the kitchen for the next series of Celebrtity MasterChef after Gregg Wallace stepped back from the show following allegations against him. John and Gregg had also filmed an amateur series - as BBC and Banijay UK intend to still broadcast both. Gregg Wallace's position on MasterChef became "untenable" after 45 out of 83 allegations of inappropriate behaviour were upheld following a seven-month investigation. John was also axed from the show earlier this week after he confirmed he was the person alleged to have used racist language. However, he said he had no memory of making the comment and denies it ever happened. The series, which has already been filmed and features celebrities including Love Island 's Uma Jammeh and TV personality Ashley Cain, will reportedly still be shown on the broadcaster 'once the dust has settled'. The report comes after BBC Director-General Tim Davie announced that the impact on the show's participants - would be a factor in whether the shows come to air or not. 'These past eight months have been truly hellish for all concerned," a source told The Sun. 'The BBC and Banijay have faced a moral and professional dilemma like never before. Obviously Gregg's case was more clear cut, but John being dragged through the mud wasn't what anyone wanted or expected to happen. 'But at the same time, and as a publicly funded body, the BBC has a duty to both provide entertainment as well as fulfil its obligations to cast, crew, contestants and viewers alike." The source then went on to say that hundreds of people who were involved in or worked on the shows would be "so bitterly disappointed" if they cancelled the show. They then claimed that the show will air "once the dust has settled and all the fuss died down." The BBC has been contacted by The Mirror for comment. In a lengthy statement following John's axe, the BBC said: 'John Torode has identified himself as having an upheld allegation of using racist language against him. This allegation, which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace, was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by the law firm, Lewis Silkin. John Torode denies the allegation. "He has stated he has no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened. He also says that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. "The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.'
