Why go
Small Hormuz is famous for its mineral-rich coloured earth — the Valley of Rainbows, the red beach where the waves turn crimson, and the edible red soil used in local cooking.
Top sights
- Rainbow Valley and the Valley of Statues.
- Red Beach (Silver Beach next to it).
- Portuguese Castle from 1507.
- Dr. Ahmad Nadalian's museum and murals in the village.
Getting there
Speedboats from Bandar Abbas (about 30 min) or from Qeshm.
Tips
Tour the island by tuk-tuk (the drivers are locals). Bring cash; there are few shops and no ATMs for foreign cards anyway. Best November–March.
