Lovers’ Island – Travel for Lover

Lovers’ Island - this lovely heart shaped Croatian island is located in Zadarski Kanal (Zadar Channel) between Zadar and Island of Pasman.

The owner of the island Vlado Juresko had always thought it looked like a bit like a heart - but when it started appearing on Google Earth, everyone else began to think so too. Now the owners of the newly renamed Lovers’ Island are being swamped with requests from smitten holidaymakers who want to spend a romantic break there.

Lovers' Island - formerly known by the more prosaic name of Galesnjak - is located in the Adriatic Sea, off the coast of the popular tourism destination of Croatia. It is just 130,000 square yards and is uninhabited, making it an intriguing location for a romantic Valentine's Day getaway.

“It has been incredible, we think it is the most perfect heart-shaped island in the world. Nobody lives there so if lovers really do want to spend time alone it's the perfect desert island.” Vlado Juresko said.

However, Juresko did not elaborate on where potential tourists could stay while on the deserted island, or how they would find food and water. And the lovers would have to wrap up well - the highest temperatures predicted for today in Croatia are just 14C which, while admittedly far warmer than chilly Britain, is still not quite balmy enough for sun tanning or swimming.

Nevertheless, the romantic isolation of the island, its stunning natural beauty and - of course - the fact that it is shaped like a heart could make it worth the trip.
