Dream It. Wish It. Do It. What is holding you back from your stay at one of Fiji’s most spectacular rural and tropical islands? Nacula Island is located in the Yasawas. The Yasawas consists of 20 volcanic islands located in the western division of Fiji. Here you will discover some of the most crystal blue waters, copious amount of reefs with magnificent coral, and beautiful marine life. At Oarsman’s Bay Lodge you will get a truly authentic cultural Fijian experience, as the lodge is co-operated by the local Nacula Island community.

We thought it was best to let our past guests tell, and show, you of their experience with us. Please note, these are truly authentic reviews, and none of these guests were offered any incentive to share their thoughts of Oarsman’s Bay Lodge.

What Melanie has to say about Oarsman’s Bay Lodge:

I just returned to Nadi two days ago. I stayed three nights at your lovely and peaceful place, and then extended one more night because it felt like I found a little paradise.
Your staff are very friendly, the food was very delicious and you offer a lot of interesting activities. I would definitely come back again. I am still in Fiji!

What Evan has to say about Oarsman’s Bay Lodge:

Amazing staff, a private island atmosphere and views like no other! The food was incredible and always fresh. Peaceful, relaxing days and nights with the sound of the ocean waves to help us sleep through. We also loved the adventures ranging from cave swimming, snorkelling, hikes and walks on the beach.

‘We needed to disconnect, truly relax and unwind’

Stay date: May 2019

What Thomas has to say about Oarsman’s Bay Lodge:

We needed to disconnect, truly relax and unwind. Oarsman’s Bay Lodge was that perfect answer. One cannot pick a single favourite moment as the entire experience was stitched together by excellent staff and a phenomenal environment. Our least favourite thing? Having to leave this island paradise…

What Faye has to say about Oarsman’s Bay Lodge:

Oarsman’s Bay Lodge was our favourite place to stay above all other islands and resorts visited! From the moment we arrived and still to this day, we have been treated like family. The interaction, cleanliness and appreciation are the reasons why it stands out from the rest. Highly recommended!
