How long does Casa Amor last?
Typically the Casa Amor segment lasts around four to five days, beginning when either the male or female Islanders are whisked away from the main villa for a stay in their new home.
The segment was first introduced during the show's third series in 2017, when the boys were surprised with a trip to the other villa, where they were joined by a group of glamorous female bombshells.
Back in the main villa, the girls were then joined by some hunky new Islanders, with some quickly tempted away from their solid pairings.

After several days apart, the Islanders who remained in the main villa are given the chance to stick with their previous partner, in the hope that they've stayed loyal in Casa Amor, or couple up with someone new.
This mega-recoupling has sparked some of the show's most jaw-dropping moments, with some devastated to find their partners have been tempted away.
However the twist has also set the stage for some of Love Island's most heartwarming moments, as some couples proved their commitments by sticking together, setting the stage for an emotional reunion in the main villa.
