Love Island Games is a spin-off from the incredibly successful reality show Love Island, which takes some of the most popular contestants from that property and gathers them together to compete once again in an exciting new format. The show will of course feature all the drama and excitement that fans have grown to love, and all manner of challenges for the affection-starved, attention-hungry players to contend with. The location for Love Island is always as important as the premise, and viewers love to know where the show is filmed. Traditionally the show would be filmed in Mallorca, with various villas being used throughout the show’s run, but for such a prestigious event as The Love Island Games, the producers looked for a location even more exciting.
With all the drama, heartache, backstabbing, and game-playing that goes along with the show, fans will be delighted to see that players from the UK, the US, Australia, Germany, Sweden, and France, will all be taking part, making this a reality show with Olympian ambitions.

Love Island Games makes no secret about filming in Fiji, however, the exact location for the production was kept under wraps, which is normal for this kind of show.
If the location were to be used again, the producers would not want people trying to access the site in future seasons, so keeping the exact locale a mystery is probably a good move.

It seems that Fiji is also no stranger to Love Island. The US version of the show also utilized the beautiful paradise of Fiji as a location for their show.
Season 5 of the US show was also filmed there, and no doubt after that, producers knew that this special spin-off series would also benefit from the stunning locale.
How does Love Island Games work and why is it a spin-off?
This new series will bring together previous players from the international versions of Love Island, and throw them all together in a reality show team-up much like Marvel’s The Avengers.
Nine players from the UK, ten players from the US, four from Australia, one from Germany, one from Sweden, and one from France will all be coming together for this extravaganza.

The ultimate goal will be a cash prize, and the show will involve team and couple challenges, as the players take part in all manner of events to see who will become champions.
Peacock released a promotional video ahead of the show’s release introducing viewers to the returning islanders:
