While Maya tends to make brief appearances in the TV villa during the show's run, we can reveal Cape Town will be her home-away-from-home.
An insider exclusively told The Sun: “Maya puts everything she has into Love Island - it’s so important to her so she’s moving out to South Africa again this year.
"She’ll be there the whole four weeks All Stars is on and can’t wait.
"The place she’s staying is really luxe!”

Both Maya's reps and ITV declined to comment when approached.
The move means Maya won't have to spend a month hoping on flights and overcoming jet lag for the All Stars series.
Ciaran Davies, who recently split from Nicole Samuel, has been tipped for a villa return alongside Ekin-Su.
Meanwhile, The Sun on Sunday recently told how Maya is likely to step back from Love Island this year.

The model took over from Irish star Laura Whitmore in 2023 but is keen to leave 'on a high'.
Love Island fans convinced Ciaran set for All Stars as he drops huge clue
A source said: "Maya adores hosting Love Island and thinks it’s a great fit for now.
“But she’s keen to leave on a high and keep her career moving forward on the right tracks.
“She is incredibly ambitious and would like to keep focusing on primetime presenting opportunities. She also has hopes of working in America and doesn’t want to be tied down.”
Love Island All Stars 2025 rumours
Love Island All Stars will be back for its second series in 2025 - and rumours are already rife as to who will be making a comeback this time around.
After the second All Stars series was announced in May, show boss Mike Spender said: "Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards.
"We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out.
"I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars."
One rumoured name for the next series is data engineer Harry Baker.
Harry, 25, arrived in the villa as a bombshell in Series 11. He soon 'stole' Grace Jackson after making his debut.
Arriving late in the run, he only lasted for a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca.
Despite the hunk's brief stint, viewers have called for Harry's return.
One upset fan wrote: "Get you in All Stars next", to which Harry cryptically replied by posting 'shrugging' emojis.
