Arduaine is a beauteous coastal village in Argyllshire, on a headland between Loch Melfort and Asknish Bay, looking out toward the isles of Shuna and Luing.

It is a hamlet of great character, just south of Kilmelford. On the reef just outlying, it has very good, classic diving, with scallops, lobster and many local Melfort prawns and "Squat" lobsters.

From a small pier the holiday cottages on the Island of Shuna are kept supplied during the holiday season.

At Arduaine are the famous Arduaine Gardens.
