The show features a group of "single" contestants, known as "islanders" who are sourced from agencies, and 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, the public will vote for their favourite islanders to stay in the villa at points in the series. As old islanders are dumped, new islanders enter the villa. At the end of the season, the public vote one final time to determine the winning couple.
