'Love Island USA': Why The Hideaway Hasn't Appeared Yet This Season

‘Love Island USA’ fans, don’t worry – those romantic Hideaway moments are still on the cards this season! Season 6 of ‘Love Island USA’ has been packed with drama, tears, and love-filled moments. 

Yet, after weeks of watching the Islanders share one giant bedroom, viewers have started to question:  Where is the Hideaway? Fear not! Simon Thomas, ITV Entertainment executive producer, assures that the Hideaway is very much part of this season and will be put to use soon.

“We do indeed have a Hideaway in the main villa this season; there just hasn’t been the right opportunity to use it,” Thomas explains. “We usually save the Hideaway for when couples are really clicking. But since it’s been such a rollercoaster for the Islanders so far, with a lot of couple-swapping and all the drama that comes with that, the timing has never felt right." 

He adds, "Rest assured, we’ll be sending some Islanders there soon. We have a phenomenal production designer on the show, Richard Jensen, and he didn’t build it for nothing!”

As of now, only two couples – Kaylor Martin and Aaron Evans, and Serena Page and Kordell Beckham – have stayed together since the start of the season. With the recent split from Casa Amor and the introduction of new singles, anything can happen.

In typical 'Love Island' fashion, viewers will have the power to keep their favourite couples from going home “heartbroken and empty-handed” by voting via the Love Island USA app.
