Jabuka is one of the Adriatic’s most unusual—and most dangerous—islands.
It’s of volcanic origin and made largely of black igneous rock rich in magnetite. Because of this, a compass near Jabuka can be unreliable, and vessels often have to navigate using alternative methods rather than standard compass bearings. The island is pure wilderness: no harbour, no sheltered coves, no safe anchorage. The sea around Jabuka is deep, with strong currents.

What does it look like?

Jabuka is a tall, sharp, dark cone rising out of the open sea—a dramatic monolith on the horizon.
Far from all classic tourist routes, it belongs to the true offshore Adriatic.

Why is it special?

• a unique volcanic geological formation in the Adriatic
• magnetic properties
• completely untouched—no human structures at all
• legendary among skippers, fishermen, and divers as an extreme, almost sacred point

Who is Jabuka for?

• adventurers
• enthusiasts
• lovers of extreme nature
• diving expeditions
• people who seek places that aren’t “pretty,” but archetypal, primal, and powerful
• fans of adventurous fishing

Jabuka is a dark, magnetic stone monolith in the middle of the open sea—a symbol of nature’s raw force and one of the Adriatic’s most fascinating islands.
