InterContinental Fiji |
Natadola, Fiji
Whether you’re watching Love Island USA for the drama, the romance or just to keep up with the internet, one thing’s clear: Fiji is the ultimate bombshell backdrop. Spread across more than 300 islands in the South Pacific, it sets the scene in every sense. Experience it in all its glory at InterContinental Fiji, sitting on 35 acres along Natadola Beach, one of the world’s most stunning stretches of white sand. Inspired by traditional Fijian villages, the resort features airy rooms with outdoor living spaces, private loungers and three pools, perfect for your own slow-motion entrance into paradise.
La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel |
Mallorca, Spain
Mallorca will forever have a place in Love Island UK history. It’s the island that helped transform the show from a reality dating experiment into the summer obsession it is today. At La Residencia, however, the focus is firmly on the island itself. Tucked into the Tramuntana mountains above the artists’ village of Deià, the Belmond retreat is a masterclass in slow luxury, where days drift by beside its postcard-worthy pool, through fragrant olive groves and across 30 acres of gardens. Take an art class, explore by Vespa or enjoy a picnic delivered by donkey. No recouplings necessary—Mallorca has already won you over.
Nômade Temple Ibiza |
Ibiza, Spain
A hot new bombshell (or should we say hotel) has arrived: Nômade Temple Ibiza. Opening Summer 2026 on the island’s rugged northern coast, this 1970s-inspired hideaway blends laid-back luxury with a modern wellness ethos. At its heart is Gön House of Healing, a subterranean cave spa carved into natural rock formations and shaped by the restorative power of water. After dark, a hidden speakeasy shifts from relaxed lounge to intimate dance floor. There’s even a recording studio on site, where you can step into your own beach-hut confessional.
Zannier Île de Bendor |
Île de Bendor, France
Travelers, please gather around France’s first private-island resort. Unlike the Love Island villa, where everyone eventually ends up in the same spot, Zannier Île de Bendor gives you an entire Mediterranean car-free island to explore. Conceived as three distinct stays in one, each corner of the island has its own personality—from the couples-focused Delos enclave and historic Cloister hideaways to wellness-led Soukana, home to a standout spa, pool, restaurant and bar. Traveling with friends? The restored Madrague Houses are a natural fit. Hidden coves, sea-facing pools, artisan workshops, pétanque courts and garden pathways are scattered throughout, creating endless opportunities to pull someone for a chat.
Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa |
Raa Atoll, Maldives
On Love Island, everything revolves around the villa. In the Maldives, the same rule applies. At Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa, beachfront and overwater villas are the main attraction, perched between powder-soft sands and a turquoise coral lagoon. Each comes with expansive outdoor space, private pools and uninterrupted ocean views, making it easy to understand why the Maldives became the blueprint for villa living. The supporting cast is equally strong, with overwater Mediterranean dining, beachside cocktails, world-class snorkelling and a jungle-fringed spa rounding out the experience.
Ambergris Cay |
Big Ambergris Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands
Ready to make things exclusive? Ambergris Cay is. Set on over 1,100 acres of largely untouched island in Turks and Caicos, this private, all-inclusive escape takes decision fatigue out of the equation, leaving more time for paddleboarding, sunset cocktails and yoga sessions by the water. Even the newest Waterside Bungalows come with your own heated plunge pool, a shaded terrace that opens directly onto the water and a kayak waiting at the shore. Consider it the luxury travel equivalent of putting all your eggs in one basket.
InterContinental Crete |
Crete, Greece
If your type on paper is rooftop infinity pools, private plunge pools, Mediterranean cuisine and a little bit of mythology, InterContinental Crete is ticking all the right boxes. Rising above Mirabello Bay, the hotel pairs contemporary architecture with details inspired by Crete’s rugged landscape and ancient stories, from curated local artwork to dramatic sea-facing spaces. Between dining conceived by two-Michelin-starred chef Nikos Roussos, sunset views from not one, but two rooftop pools and treatments at Aegeo Spa, it’s easy to see why this property makes such a strong first impression.
Isla Bella Beach Resort |
Florida, United States
Some people travel halfway across the world for a European summer. Others find it in the Florida Keys. Set on Marathon Key, Isla Bella Beach Resort combines whitewashed Mediterranean-inspired design with a mile of personal beachfront and endless ocean views. Between five pools, a marina, oceanfront suites, Hawaiian cuisine at Mahina and restorative treatments at the resort spa, there’s always something vying for your attention. The only challenge? Staying loyal to your sun lounger when there’s so much else to explore.
Rocco Forte Private Villas at Verdura Resort |
Sicily, Italy
Private villa or luxury resort? At Rocco Forte Private Villas at Verdura Resort, you don’t have to choose. Perched above the Mediterranean on Sicily’s southern coast, this exclusive collection of villas pairs private pools, dedicated concierge service and sprawling outdoor living spaces with access to everything Verdura Resort has to offer. That means championship golf, an award-winning spa, eight restaurants and bars and 570 acres of coastline, olive groves and orange orchards to explore.

Half Moon, Jamaica |
Montego Bay, Jamaica
An 18-hole championship golf course. An equestrian center. Two miles of exclusive beachfront. At Half Moon, Jamaica, the date options are endless. Spread across 400 acres in Montego Bay, this Caribbean icon gives guests the luxury of choice, whether that means sunrise yoga in an overwater cabana, a restorative afternoon at Fern Tree Spa or simply claiming a stretch of sand all to yourself. As golden hour settles over the Caribbean, cocktails at Lester’s Bar and dinner at Delmare provide the perfect excuse to stay a little longer. After all, the best dates are never rushed.
Regent Phu Quoc |
Phu Quoc, Vietnam
It can take a lot to turn heads, but Regent Phu Quoc manages it effortlessly. Set on Vietnam’s largest island, this refined retreat sits between two distinct worlds: glittering white-sand beaches to the south and a lush northern rainforest, part of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Suites and villas are dressed in calming earth tones, keeping the focus firmly on the landscape beyond. From island exploration to days by the water, the resort saves some of its best discoveries for after dark. Among them is Bar Jade, a hidden cocktail nook tucked away from the crowds. Think of it as Soul Ties—Love Island’s ultimate spot for intimate chats.
Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club |
Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla
Framed by the turquoise waters of the famed Rendezvous Bay, Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club feels a little like Casa Amor—but in the best possible way. Spread across 300 acres, it offers multiple ways to switch things up, from lively beachfront stays to secluded private-pool estates with full butler service. Anguilla’s only golf course, the Caribbean’s largest pickleball complex and six dining venues add even more temptation into the mix, making it dangerously easy to explore your options.
