On the shores of Nacula Island in the Yasawas, Oarsman’s Bay Lodge is an intimate adults-only island retreat shaped by nature, simplicity and genuine Fijian hospitality.
Come for the turquoise water and untouched landscapes. Stay for the slower days, warm people and feeling that there is nowhere else you need to be.
Swim. Snorkel. Paddle across the bay. Walk the hills. Find a hammock beneath the palms and stay there all afternoon.
There are no schedules to keep and nowhere you need to be. Days at Oarsman’s unfold at your own pace.
Our beachfront and beach view bures sit just steps from the sand, surrounded by palms and the sound of the ocean. Simple, spacious and thoughtfully designed for island living, each is a private place to slow down, settle in and wake to another day in the Yasawas.

Set towards the back of the resort and surrounded by tropical gardens, our Lodge Rooms offer a quiet, private retreat with a relaxed island feel.
Swim over coral gardens. Paddle across the bay. Walk the island’s hills. Fish with a local guide. Learn to weave, husk a coconut or prepare kokoda. Or simply find your favourite stretch of sand and stay awhile.
At Oarsman’s, experiences aren’t about filling an itinerary. They’re about discovering the island in whatever way feels right to you.
Just ten minutes by boat from Oarsman’s lies Yaromo, our uninhabited private island. White sand, clear water and complete seclusion, with the island entirely to yourselves.
Swim, snorkel, explore the shoreline or simply settle into the quiet. We’ll take care of the details, so all that’s left to do is enjoy having a little piece of the Yasawas to yourselves.
Some of the best experiences here are also the simplest. Fish with our local guides, learn traditional weaving, prepare kokoda, discover the island’s plants and food, or join the Oarsman’s team for a meke.
A natural part of island life, these are simple opportunities to experience some of the traditions of the Yasawas and spend time with the people who call these islands home.
Oarsman’s is part of Nacula Island, and its spirit comes from the people who call this place home.
Our team brings the warmth, stories, traditions and generous hospitality of the Yasawas into everyday life here. It is this connection to place and people that makes a stay at Oarsman’s feel genuinely Fijian.
