OUR STORY

Blending History with Elegance

Oaks on the River Luxury Boutique Resort reflects our founder’s dream. Art Lucas aimed to revitalize a portion of Darien’s historic riverfront bluff into a beacon of luxury and local economic potential. Since its inception, the resort has remained grounded in its roots while embracing the charm of modern hospitality. Art Lucas’ connection to the land is prominently displayed in the stunning bar top, hewn from an aged oak tree from his property, symbolizing the unity of our past with the vibrancy of the present. 

The resort prides itself in fostering the local art scene, with an in-house gallery showcasing curated works from talented artists in Coastal Georgia. The true jewel of the Oaks is its restaurant, poised majestically overlooking the Darien waterfront, it offers a captivating, sparkling view that adds to the delight of dining.
Oaks on the River is more than just a resort; it’s a declaration of the endurance of dreams, the power of community, and the beauty of nature blended with refined luxury.
