Colom Island

Colom Island (Illa d'en Colom, official name in Catalan) is a small island of 143 acres (0.58 km2), located about 200 metres (656 ft) from the north-east coast of Menorca. In the past it was used as a pesthouse and later as farmland. It belonged to the Roca family from Mahón starting in 1904, when it was bought by Mr. Antonio Roca Várez. In 2018, United States billionaire Alex Meruelo purchased the island for 3.2 million Euros.[1] There is a single 100 square meter home on the island. It is currently part of the Natural Park of the Albufera of Es Grau.
