Colom Island (Catalan: Illa d'en Colom) 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. 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.
