St. Paul's Island (also referred to as Selmunett) is a small island close to Selmun near the north-east of the island of Malta. St. Paul's Island is sometimes split into two islands when the sea is rough. It has been uninhabited since the sole farmer abandoned his tiny dwelling and fields decades ago, thus making it the largest uninhabited island of Malta.
