Introducing Nacula
Nacula, a hilly volcanic island, is the third-largest in the Yasawas. Blanketed with rugged hills and soft peaks, its interior is laced with well-trodden paths begging for mooching to villages and small coves. There are four villages here, including Nacula, home of Ratu Epeli Vuetibau, the high chief of Nacula Tikina. The tikina (group of villages) includes the islands of Nacula, Tavewa, Nanuya Levu, Nanuya Lailai and Matacawalevu, and is home to about 3500 people. Catching a church service in one of the villages is a real treat. Beach devotees will be ecstatic to know that Nacula also has some of the finest swimming and snorkelling in Fiji, particularly at Oarsman's Bay. A new, intimate resort is on its way to being built on the tiny island just north of Oarsman's Bay. It promises to be flash.
