The invention refers to structures of floating islands. Floating island is a partially submerged volumetric structure made from floating facilities with positive buoyancy, which are connected by a flexible non-stretchable link and a resilient damping link. These floating facilities are located adjacent to each other and are spaced in horizontal direction, and every facility is a volumetric shallow structure with side walls, bottom and roof used as basic surface located above water level for installation of island infrastructure objects on it. Every floating facility is made in the form of a shallow tight unit with positive buoyancy and in the form of a parallelepiped or prism with a height that is less than the length of either side of the base, and every wall of floating facility located opposite to the wall of adjacent floating facility is connected with said wall by means of a flexible non-stretchable link and a resilient damping link along the whole length of said wall, whereas said resilient damping link enables damping on at least two mutually perpendicular directions.
