Oarsman’s Bay Lodge

Oarsman's Bay Lodge is an adults-only island resort on the shores of Nacula Island in the Yasawa Islands. The lodge offers an intimate retreat focused on simplicity and genuine Fijian hospitality, with accommodation ranging from beachfront villas and bures to studios and lodge rooms. All rooms are either steps from the sand or set in tropical gardens, designed for island living with views of the ocean.

A stay at Oarsman's revolves around activities pursued at your own pace, with no set schedules. Guests can swim, snorkel, paddle across the bay, walk the island's hills, fish with local guides, learn traditional weaving, husk coconuts or prepare kokoda. The lodge also offers cultural experiences including mekes and opportunities to discover the island's plants and food. Just ten minutes by boat lies Yaromo, a private uninhabited island available for day visits with white sand, clear water and complete seclusion.

The resort's character comes from its connection to Nacula Island and the Fijian team who provide warm hospitality and share local traditions. The lodge emphasises a slower pace of island life where guests can settle into hammocks, find their favourite stretch of sand, or simply enjoy having nowhere else to be.

Guests book directly with the lodge via email at bookings@oarsmans.com or by calling the island office on +679 895 9014. The lodge has received recognition including a TripAdvisor Traveller's Choice Award for the top 10 per cent worldwide and a Booking.com Traveller Review Award rating of 9.4 out of 10.
