Set on Marlon Brando’s former island home in French Polynesia, The Brando is a luxurious stay on a paradise atoll. Snorkel its kaleidoscopic reefs, explore other islands, and watch the widescreen sky’s scintillating sunsets with a sense of castaway delight.
The Varua Te Ora Polynesian Spa is incredible—an inner paradise on a pond at the heart of the atoll. Here you’ll discover indulgent beauty treatments, a waterfall, a tea lounge, and total relaxation.
For even more seclusion, stay in the residences. Nestled in their own copse, they come with private beaches that reach the glassy waves of the lagoon.
LOCATION
Tetiaroa, 30 miles northeast of Tahiti, is an archipelago of palm-shaded, turquoise-ringed paradise islets.
Only one of these has any sign of human life on it, and that’s Motu Onetahi which is where you’ll find the stunning The Brando. What used to be a retreat for Tahitian royalty became actor Marlon Brando’s holiday home after he visited the region shooting, ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’.
Today, that home has been transformed into a boho, castaway-luxe resort of 35 beachfront villas. Various sizes of abode are available, and each comes with a private infinity pool. In keeping with the resort’s respectful stance towards the local culture, touches of island décor add character in the contemporary villas’ spacious interiors equipped with all the modern luxuries.
The restaurants offer an array of flavors and experiences, from fine-dining east/west fusion with Polynesian accents to vegan and teppanyaki. Fish are taken from the thriving coastal waters and additional ingredients are cultivated in the island’s orchards and gardens.
WHAT MAKES THIS HOTEL UNIQUE?
It’s more than just another extremely luxurious property in paradise. The Brando, in keeping with the conservation philosophy espoused by the island’s former owner, is committed to preserving the archipelago’s biodiversity, respecting Polynesian culture, and achieving a zero-carbon footprint. It’s been awarded a LEED Platinum certificate for its continued efforts in sustainability and its outlook enriches its experience offering.
