It’s Giving Villa Vibes: Love Island USA Viewing Parties Are Taking Over San Diego

Can we pull you for a chat? Whether you're here for the drama, the grafting, or just a cheeky cocktail while you watch the latest recoupling chaos unfold, San Diego has officially entered its Love Island era. With Season 7 of Love Island USA now airing almost nightly on Peacock, bars and restaurants across the city are turning into makeshift villas, hosting themed watch parties where fans can scream at the telly with fellow bombshells and maybe even find their own type (on paper, that is).

From all-you-can-eat spaghetti to tropical cocktails and signature sips, these events are more than just a chance to catch up on island antics - they’re full-blown social spectacles. So throw on your finest swimwear-inspired outfit, grab your crew, and prepare for a night of grafting, vibing, and judging people’s choices in partners.

If we’ve missed any Love Island watch parties happening around town, don’t mug us off - pull us for a chat by sending the scoop to [email protected] so we can update this list accordingly. And speaking of island energy, you may have seen some actual casting drama going down recently in San Diego, where the Love Island USA crew hosted an open casting call in Pacific Beach for the show’s next bombshells.
