- Love is Blind returns with a fresh season, whisking couples away to the stunning Cap St George Hotel and Resort in Peyia, Cyprus, famously known as the island of love.
As Netflix premiered the new season on Wednesday, presenter Emma Willis welcomed viewers with a picturesque view of the Mediterranean, saying, “It’s the island of love.” The show, renowned for its unique format where participants date without seeing each other, now offers couples a chance to bond during a pre-marriage honeymoon.
This new setting marks the first time the 30 participants—15 women and 15 men—meet face-to-face after forming connections in the infamous ‘pods’. The anticipation of seeing each other in person adds to the excitement and tension of the show.
“This is like a dream,” exclaimed contestant Ashleigh, gazing out from her hotel room alongside her potential fiancé, Billy. With Cyprus’s breathtaking views as their backdrop, the couples navigate the complexities of their new relationships.
In a candid moment, Kal and Sarover enjoy a swim in the hotel pool, where Kal admits that Sarover isn’t his usual type, yet he appreciates their time together, embodying the show’s essence of unexpected connections.
The stunning visuals of Cyprus play a significant role in the series, with the backdrop of the sun setting over the sea, complemented by music that evokes feelings of paradise. British production company CPL has successfully showcased the island’s allure, making it an ideal locale for romantic escapades.
Cyprus’s reputation as a romantic destination is no accident. The island’s historical ties to the goddess Aphrodite have made it increasingly popular for international reality shows, particularly those centred around love. In the past two years, the island has hosted various productions, including the UK’s Love Rat and The Only Way Is Essex, as well as the Danish Roast On The Coast.
Looking ahead, the Swedish edition of Love is Blind is set to film some segments at the Atlantis Gardens Resort in Mazotos, Larnaca, in 2024, further solidifying Cyprus’s status as a hotspot for romance-oriented reality television.
