Ibiza is getting another moment in the reality-TV spotlight as Netflix's Love Is Blind: UK returns for its third season, with the newly engaged couples heading to the island for their romantic getaway.
The third season premiered on Netflix on August 19, 2026, introducing 30 British singles to the dating experiment hosted by Matt and Emma Willis. Unlike previous UK seasons, which used Corfu and Cyprus for their post-pod getaways, Season 3 brings the couples to Ibiza.
Ibiza becomes part of the Love Is Blind journey
After forming relationships without seeing one another in the famous pods, the couples who get engaged finally meet face-to-face before travelling together.
For Season 3, Ibiza provides the backdrop for this next stage of the experiment, giving viewers a very different setting from the pod environment as the couples begin testing their relationships in the real world.
The island's beaches, hotels, restaurants and Mediterranean scenery provide the setting for the romantic getaway, putting Ibiza's lifestyle and landscapes in front of an international Netflix audience.
A new filming location for the UK series
The choice of Ibiza marks a change from the previous seasons of Love Is Blind: UK.
Season 1 used Corfu for its honeymoon stage, while Season 2 travelled to Cyprus. Season 3 was filmed across several countries, with the pod stage taking place in Sweden before the production moved to Spain and eventually back to the UK.
The move to Ibiza adds another layer of international appeal to a show that is already watched well beyond the UK.
Ibiza continues its reality-TV connection
The island has long been a favourite filming destination for reality television, particularly productions looking to combine romance, nightlife and Mediterranean scenery.
The arrival of Love Is Blind: UK adds a new audience to that mix. Rather than focusing exclusively on Ibiza's famous club scene, the show presents the island through the lens of romantic escapes and luxury holidays.
That gives international viewers another perspective on the destination and its hospitality scene.
Season 3 is already making headlines
The new season features 30 contestants, with eight episodes released on August 19. Episodes 9 and 10 are scheduled for August 26, followed by the reunion on August 30.
The season has also generated considerable attention around its unusually high number of engagements, with reports that 14 of the 15 couples became engaged during the experiment.
For Ibiza, however, one of the biggest takeaways is simpler: the island has become the romantic backdrop for one of Netflix's biggest dating franchises.
As millions of viewers follow the couples beyond the pods, Ibiza gets another international showcase, this time not just as a party destination, but as a setting for romance, luxury and Mediterranean escapes.
