The island of temptation is preparing for its next session on Telecinco, as the network anchors a renewed push to captivate audiences across Canada and the United States. The sixth edition of the reality series, promoted by Sandra Barneda, marks a strategic move to reverse a recent dip in viewers. This time, the cast includes several notable faces from Benidorm and other parts of Spain, who will test their relationships under intense conditions in a tropical setting.
Before the first bonfires blaze again, producers revealed the identities of five couples who will carry the drama. Lydia and Manuel, Álex and Marina, Naomi and Adrián, Alejandro and Laura, and David and Elena will work through trust, temptation, and choice in the Dominican Republic. At the end of the experiment, they must decide whether to return to Spain together, separately, or with a new partner by their side. This setup promises emotional highs, strategic gameplay, and the kind of cliffhanger that keeps viewers returning for more.
Lydia and Manuel
Lydia and Manuel became a couple after connecting on social media, with roots in the province of Alicante and a strong presence in Benidorm. Their romance faced a rocky start when Manuel was involved with another person, leading to doubts and rumors. Yet, with time, the pair found a way to move forward, and their dynamic now stands as a central thread in the season, inviting scrutiny from both the audience and the fellow participants. Observers wonder how they will navigate the pressures of temptation and public opinion when the cameras are rolling 24/7.
Alex and Marina
Álex and Marina hail from Madrid and have been together for about a year. They enter the competition ready to confront the toughest test of their relationship. Marina is openly expressive and sometimes jealous, admitting that she even checks her partner’s phone late at night. This uneasy balance adds tension to their interactions, and viewers will be watching closely to see how trust evolves when faced with constant temptation and restoring boundaries under scrutiny.
Naomi and Adrián
Naomi and Adrián arrived as friends, but Naomi has long envisioned something more with him. A dream about a future together sparked the possibility of crossing lines, and the couple now contends with whether they can pursue a serious relationship amid the show’s provocative challenges. Naomi expresses a clear desire to build a family someday, while Adrián signals he is ready to commit deeply if they find themselves aligned after the experience, hinting at a potential path to marriage should they move beyond the competition with a renewed connection.
Alejandro and Laura
Alejandro and Laura come to the island carrying a history of reproaches and unfinished business. They first met in a Mr. Spain contest, where a spark ignited, but a past moment—an impulsive kiss with another person—left wounds that linger. The pair must decide whether the trust between them can survive the storms of temptation or whether past mistakes will dominate the dynamic, reshaping what their relationship might look like after the show ends.
David and Elena
David and Elena connected through Instagram, with both sides eager to prove the strength of their bond beyond the filters and idealized images. David worries whether Elena’s beauty translates into a lasting connection, leading to a memorable first face-to-face meeting. The pair quickly falls into a love story that some viewers may label as iconic, with colleagues colloquially nicknaming them Barbie and Ken as they navigate the experiment together and seek to demonstrate their compatibility against the pressures of public display and social media scrutiny. Their journey asks whether genuine affection can survive the spotlight and the tempting trials that accompany the island’s drama. [Source: Telecinco programming materials and press briefings]
