If your week isn’t complete without yelling “I got a text!” at your TV or emotionally investing in a dramatic recoupling ceremony, you’re in the right place. Love Island is back with its signature drama, dreamy contestants, and villa chaos. But this summer, Tampa’s nightlife is transforming into your personal Casa Amor with the best Love Island watch parties in the city—and even across the bridge in St. Pete.
From tropical cocktails to trivia nights, Tampa Bay is serving up the heat every week. Here’s your ultimate guide to where to watch Love Island in Tampa—and maybe even find your type on paper.
