Welcome to the unusual and beautiful Hormuz Island, located in Iran’s Persian Gulf region. It seems that many forget or often overlook gulf islands when planning trips. Truth be told, Hormuz Island was my favorite place I visited on my month-long trip to Iran owing to its unbelievable landscapes smattered in reds, pinks, oranges, greens, and golds, and its wild beaches that you have to see to believe- all of which help secure its nickname of the Rainbow Island. Even after having returned to several times now, and to Hormuz mujtliple times, Hormuz Island still remains my favorite destination in the country. Another thing I fell in love with in Hormuz is its laid-back feel- with a population of only about 3,000 people, it’s a great relaxing escape.
