Warmi Island

Warmi Island is a low-lying sandy island in the waters of the Khuran Strait, between Bandar Khamir and Qeshm Island. It disappears beneath the water at high tide and re-emerges at low tide, which is why it is called the "Blue Whale". Warmi Island is one of the cleanest islands in Iran and has no mud at all. It is a great place for birdwatching and for activities such as building large sand structures. To visit Warmi Island, first go to Bandar Khamir, then take a boat from there to the Khur-e Khuran Wetland. Along this route, Warmi Island emerges for a few hours.

Because of its particular tidal conditions and its pristine state, Warmi Island does not have very diverse flora and fauna. Even so, thanks to its unique geographic location, it is home to some animal and plant species. These include plants resistant to salinity and drought, such as salt grasses and small shrubs, which grow on the island. The island is a suitable habitat for migratory and native birds. Various seabirds, waterbirds and shorebirds, such as gulls, swallows and terns, can be seen on the island. In the waters around the island you can also see various aquatic animals such as fish, shrimp and more.

Warmi Island has a hot and humid climate. The best time to visit Warmi Island is autumn and winter. In these seasons, the weather in the Hormozgan region is mild and pleasant, free of the intense heat of summer. In autumn and winter, daytime temperatures are around 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, and at night temperatures drop to around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. These weather conditions are ideal for visiting Warmi Island and enjoying its beautiful natural scenery. Recreational activities in the area include watching birds and dolphins, picnicking and walking on the sand.
