Imagine stepping onto a pristine atoll surrounded by the endless blue of the South Pacific, where the beauty of nature and luxury intertwine seamlessly. Welcome to The Brando, an extraordinary private island retreat on Tetiaroa, just 30 miles north of Tahiti.
Once the exclusive escape of Tahitian royalty and later Marlon Brando’s personal sanctuary, this island is now the ultimate destination for those seeking peace, beauty, and rejuvenation.
Since its opening in July 2014, The Brando has redefined luxury travel, blending environmental purity with Polynesian charm to offer a unique experience like no other. Here, every moment is an invitation to reconnect with the natural world while indulging in the height of comfort and sophistication.
As you step into your private villa, set along the stunning beaches of Turtle Beach or Mermaid Bay, you’ll feel an instant sense of serenity. Each of the 35 villas is a haven, designed with respect for Polynesian traditions and nestled among lush gardens. Picture yourself lounging by your private pool, soaking in views of the turquoise lagoon through floor-to-ceiling windows, or dining under the stars in your outdoor eating area. This is more than just a getaway—this is a lifestyle that marries luxury with sustainability, powered entirely by renewable energy.
At The Brando, every experience immerses you in the island’s untouched beauty. Dive into the vibrant coral gardens, where sea turtles, manta rays, and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish glide through the waters. Paddle through the lagoon on a traditional Polynesian outrigger canoe, explore hidden motus by kayak, or simply stroll the beach with the warm breeze at your back. For the adventurous, kite surfing and diving offer the perfect adrenaline rush, while birdwatching and nature tours allow you to discover the island’s rich biodiversity up close.
Beyond the outdoor adventures, The Brando invites you to connect with the island’s cultural heritage. Visit the Library to delve into the fascinating history of French Polynesia, or attend talks from on-site researchers who are passionate about the island’s rare wildlife and conservation efforts.
Here, you won’t just observe nature—you’ll live within it, all while enjoying a level of comfort that’s second to none. Whether you’re lounging by your villa’s pool, strolling barefoot along the white sand beaches, or gazing out over the crystal-clear lagoon, The Brando promises an unparalleled escape.
This is more than just a vacation. It’s an invitation to experience paradise in its purest form—where luxury meets the spirit of Polynesia, and where every moment is a reminder that life’s most extraordinary adventures are found in the beauty of the natural world.
