Heart-Shaped Islands
Mother Nature is truly a romantic artist, as we can see in many of its wonderful creations. It has created many natural islands shaped like hearts you can visit all over the world. Uninhabited or not, in the middle of a lake or in the sea, amidst a tropical jungle, the mountains, or in a tropical paradise, there’s no doubt they are jewels on the planet. If you want to impress on a date or choose a stunning destination to spend your honeymoon, you’ll probably think beyond Paris, Rome or some place a little more exotic.
But how about going to a unique and romantic place, like a heart-shaped island? So let’s get inspired by a compilation of the most amazing heart-shaped islands in the world.

HARBOR ISLAND – MAINE – USA
Located in the middle of Bucks Harbor, Brooksville, Maine, this forested heart-shaped island is home to a modest cabin on its shore.

TUPAI ISLAND – FRENCH POLYNESIA
This heart-shaped paradise island is near Bora Bora, where pure white-sand beaches with coconut trees frame a shallow turquoise lagoon. Tupai is actually an uninhabited atoll, named the most romantic spot in Tahiti. Some companies even offer wedding packages for couples that want to get married there.
