Inside French Polynesia's ultra-private Brando resort


“Tetiaroa is beautiful beyond my capacity to describe. 
One could say that Tetiaroa is the tincture of the South Seas.”
Marlon Brando

The Brando offers carefree luxury in the midst of pristine nature. With access to the island by private plane, the resort features 35 villas on white-sand beaches frequented by sea turtles, manta rays, and exotic birds. The resort was designed to reflect Polynesian lifestyles and culture.

LOCATION

Tetiaroa is located 30 miles (60 km) north of the island of Tahiti and is surrounded on all sides by the great blue expanse of the South Pacific. The Brando is located on Onetahi a motu spanning 78 hectares (193 acres).

ACCESS
Tetiaroa is completely private with its own airfield. Two or more roundtrip charter flights a day are planned or will be organized aboard one of two 8-passenger Britten Norman airplanes (turboprop twin-engine), duration of approximately 20 minutes, between a private terminal at Tahiti’s Faa’a International Airport and Motu Onetahi. After landing at Motu Onetahi on Tetiaroa, guests will be greeted by a representative of The Brando and escorted by electric vehicles to their private villa.

The Brando is a unique luxury resort on French Polynesia’s the breathtakingly beautiful private island of Tetiaroa – an atoll composed of a dozen small islands surrounding a sparkling lagoon 30 miles north of Tahiti. Tetiaroa has always been a place of stunning beauty, tranquility, and rejuvenation—first for Tahitian royalty, who chose this island above all others for their summer retreat, and later for Marlon Brando who chose it for his personal sanctuary.

The Brando offers carefree luxury in the midst of pristine nature. With access to the island by private plane, the resort features white-sand beaches, swaying coconut palms, exotic birds, and abundant marine life. The Brando was designed to reflect the Polynesian lifestyle and culture. The resort’s 35 luxurious beachfront villas, which are available in one-, two-, or three-bedroom arrangements include a sitting room and a media room and feature a plunge pool and private beach area.

The Brando, an abundance of activities is available from bicycling, swimming, bird watching, sailing or paddleboarding to a neighboring island, and snorkeling or diving with tropical fish. There is also a Cultural Lounge where guests can read about French Polynesia and attend lectures and demonstrations about Polynesian culture, history, and lifestyle.

In addition to being a luxury resort, The Brando is a pioneering model of sustainable technology with seawater air-conditioning and energy from the sun and coconut oil. Protection of the abundant tropical fish and another marine life is core to the resort’s mission, and there is an EcoStation for scientific research that guests can visit.

With a deep respect for its cultural legacy and the use of historical practices and new technologies to provide extraordinary luxury in an environmentally friendly manner, The Brando brings the past and future together into a place beyond time, invigorating the spirit and enriching and changing all who visit.
