Love Island Albania is an Albanian dating game show, based on the international Love Island franchise. The show began airing on 3 September 2023 on TV Klan.[1] The show is presented by Luana Vjollca and Directed by Edlira Baholli

Following the premise of other versions of the Love Island format, the show features a group of single contestants, known as "islanders" who live together in a specially constructed villa that is isolated from the outside world, in an attempt to find love. The islanders are continuously monitored during their stay in the house by live television cameras as well as personal audio microphones. Throughout the series, the contestants "couple up" to avoid being dumped from the villa. Additionally, Albania will vote for their favourite islanders to stay in the villa. As old islanders are dumped, new islanders will enter the villa. At the end of the season, Albania will vote one final time to determine the winning couple.

Format

[edit]

Love Island Albania involves a group of contestants, referred to as Islanders, living in isolation from the outside world in a villa in Palasë, constantly under video surveillance. To survive in the villa the Islanders must be coupled up with another Islander, whether it be for love, friendship or survival, as the overall winning couple receives €50,000. On the first day, the Islanders couple up for the first time based on first impressions, but over the duration of the series, they are forced to "re-couple" where they can choose (or be chosen) to remain in their current couple or swap and change.

Any Islander who remains single, after the coupling, is eliminated and "dumped" from the island. Islanders can also be eliminated via a public vote during the series. The public can vote for their favorite couple or who they think is the most compatible through the Love Island Albania app available on smartphones. Couples who receive the fewest votes risk being eliminated. Occasionally, twists may occur where the islanders must eliminate each other. During the final week, the public vote for which couple they want to win the series and take home the prize.

Whilst in the villa, each Islander has their own phone with which they can only contact other Islanders via text – or receive texts informing them of the latest challenges, dumping, or re-coupling. Islanders and couples must typically take part in many games and challenges designed to test their physical and mental abilities, with the winners receiving special prizes afterward. Some Islanders are also sent on dates outside the villa or can win dates by winning challenges.[2]

A super luxurious villa, €50,000 and if you're lucky, you'll find the love of your life". As soon as they see it, they abandon the yacht and dive into the sea and running on the beach to get a place in the villa.
