Nakhiloo Island (also: Nakhilo, Nakhilu, Nokhailo; Persian: جزیره نخیلو, jazireye Nakhiloo ) is one of the Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf. This small island has an area of around 6 km, has a sandy coastline of some 8 km, and is 5 km from Ommolkaram. The island is located southeast of Bushehr.

Important Bird Area

Nakhiloo, along with neighbouring Morghu and Ummal Karam islands, has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because they support breeding crab-plovers as well as colonies of bridled, Saunders's, lesser crested and white-cheeked terns. The islands are also a breeding site for hawksbill sea turtles.
