The small island of Lavsa lies off the SW coast of the island of Kornat in the Kornati archipelago group of Croatia. It is separated from Kornat by the mile-wide channel of the Kornatski Kanal. Immediately NW is the island of Piškera with its 118 berth marina of Marina Piškera. The island offers just one anchorage, offering excellent shelter in virtually all conditions except very strong NE winds. The anchorage also has mooring buoys and two restaurants open during the season. As part of the Kornati National Park, a daily permit is required to visit the island. Ashore, the island is largely barren and uninhabited except for the restaurant staff during the season.
