how do you say island, like in a kitchen, in spanish?

Question

In a kitchen you may have a section of countertop in the middle. In english it's called an island, but I wonder if they have a different word in spanish?

Answer 1

I think we call that mesada in Argentina (la mesada de la cocina) but it´s usually on one side or corner of the kitchen, so island would not apply.

Answer 2

I've always heard of it as "isla", same as in English.

Answer 3

Hi and welcome to the forum,

I know that "isla" is the Spanish equivalent for island. However, I'm not sure if Spanish speaking people refer to this kitchen feature in a different way or not.

I'm sure someone will come along with the answer soon. I hope you enjoy your time in the forum.
