Crew working on the ITV2 reality show have pushed up their sleeves and rolled out a bright purple carpet runaway up to the fire pit.
Both the floor surrounding the seating area and the wall behind have also been decorated in the same purple hue.
Aerial pictures of the Majorcan villa exclusively obtained by The Sun reveal the new look fire pit in all its glory.
Islanders will once again be treated to a large rectangular pool to cool off in and work on a new outdoor kitchen and seating area is well underway.
The iconic warm fairy lights that illuminate the villa after dark have already been strung up, however there is no sighting yet of a roof terrace.
Fans of Love Island know only too well that the terrace is a necessity, as it is home to sneaky snogs and secret chats.
The exact start date for this year's series of Love Island is yet to be confirmed but ITV is already teasing its return.
Earlier this week, the first trailer dropped and it was a summons from host Maya Jama being printed out of a pink printer.
The letter from Maya read: "Attention: Love Island is coming soon. Attendance mandatory. Signed, CEO of love, Maya x."
Meanwhile, Maya has also spilled the beans on what she knows so far about the upcoming series.

Addressing her followers, the excited star said on TikTok: "Do I even know who the Islanders are?
"Do I know what time and date I'm flying to Mallorca? No, but guess what?
"We are so back. We are so f***ing back. I'm really excited, guys. The sun is out!"
Continuing, the stunning star said: "Summer Love Island's about to happen.
"They released a little advert. It ain't even the real advert yet. I can smell it in the air.
"A bunch of new cuties are about to enter that villa. Your 9pm's will be gone. You will be locked in!"
Maya also confirmed the fate of Love Island's spin-off show Aftersun, adding: "And I am so ready. AfterSun's back.
"I just got a really big wave of excitement. I can't wait.
"Make sure you're there, because I will be in my little outfits.
"I don't know why I say little. Big outfits, saucy outfits, new waves, new vibes, new energy. But either way, don't miss it.
"Because if you do, nothing will happen to you, but just lock in."

Alejandro Garnacho enjoys holiday in Rome after Asia tour nightmare... with Man United star's future at the club in doubt after spat with Ruben Amorim
Alejandro Garnacho didn't exactly have the season he will have been hoping for in 2024-25, and the Manchester United star has been quick to get away from it all in his summer off and enjoy some well-earned rest. The forward came into the campaign under Erik ten Hag as one of the squad's untouchables, having played a key role in their FA Cup win, and looked set to push on under the Dutchman. However, just last month he ended the season with at least one foot out the door after failing to break into Ruben Amorim's side, before social media proved to come back and bite him, leaving his position at Old Trafford seemingly untenable. Things went from bad to worse even after the debilitating Europa League final defeat by Tottenham as Garnacho appeared to push a fan in the streets when approached while on post-season tour in Malaysia. But now, with his future up in the air at Old Trafford, Garnacho and his partner Eva Garcia, as well as their young child, has sought some respite in the Italian capital on a short holiday. Garcia posted a number of pictures on her Instagram account of herself in Rome, as well as posing for selfies with Garnacho and a lovely picture of all three members of their young family. However the Argentina international will know that he faces a crucial summer in terms of his immediate future, but perhaps also his next 10 years in the game, with the wrong move - should he leave - potentially seeing him become another in the long line of players to fade away. He is undoubtedly one of the most promising young attackers, at least in the Premier League, and already has a Puskas Award to his name for a stunning bicycle kick against Everton, but seemingly has had issues with his temperament. Mail Sport previously revealed Garnacho was brutally warned by Ruben Amorim that he needs to 'pray' he can find a new club in a dressing room spat in front of the United squad. Tensions climaxed when Garnacho hit out at Amorim after being given less than 20 minutes off the bench in the Red Devils' Europa League final defeat by Tottenham last month. The youngster said in Bilbao: 'Until we reached the final, I played every round. And I played 20 minutes today - I don't know. I'm going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next.' With Garnacho's departure all but confirmed in an official club statement, potential suitors are now circling to secure the 20-year-old's talents. Three Premier League clubs are said to be 'very keen' on Garnacho, who sees remaining in the English top flight a serious option, according to Fabrizio Romano. As for other European clubs, Bayer Leverkusen are understood to be interested, along with a host of Italian clubs.
