Oarsman’s Bay Lodge

Description

This resort is set on a stunning beach that stretches for miles. Fringed by the turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon, this is one of the most photographed locations in the Yasawas.

Whether it’s relaxing in the outdoor restaurant and bar, lounging in a hammock along the beach, or joining in a game of volleyball with friendly Fijian staff, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more idyllic location.

There is excellent swimming and snorkelling at all tides as the lagoon out front is a Marine Protected Area. The resort is staffed by the Mataqali Natia from the nearby Nacula Village. Offering you the chance to see and experience their way of life is part of what Oarsman’s Bay Lodge is all about. Please note that no cash can be used at this resort, that it is for adults only (18 years and older), and has a 3 night minimum stay for all room types.
