Beyoncé reportedly stays on the islet for many days or even weeks each year, according to Silvestro Kardum. Kardum also claims that the singer celebrated her 39th birthday there. On top of that, other famous people like Michael Jordan and Jeff Bezos have been seen strolling around the island.
According to Kardum, “there’s no lack of celebrities in that area.”
At this time, there are no people living on the islet, and it also does not have any hotels, villas, or restaurants. The fact that Galesnjak is visited each summer by a large number of famous people and the boats they own contributes to the town’s status as a popular tourist destination.
According to Kardum, the funds garnered from the sale of the islet will be put to use in some other capacity within the local community.
