Carefree Ultra-Luxury in Untouched Nature
Conceived by legendary actor Marlon Brando as a visionary sanctuary where world leaders, artists, and nature lovers could connect intimately with the earth, The Brando is situated on the private atoll of Tetiaroa, a breathtaking ring of a dozen untouched motus encircling a crystal-clear turquoise lagoon 30 miles north of Tahiti.
Accessible only by a private 20-minute flight on the resort's private airline, Air Tetiaroa, the property features 35 secluded villas and the majestic Teremoana Residence tucked discreetly amidst coconut palms. Each beachfront residence features its own private plunge pool and direct access to powder-soft white sand beaches frequented by nesting sea turtles. The resort represents the pinnacle of post-carbon eco-technology: powered 100% by solar panels and coconut oil biofuel, with innovative Sea Water Air Conditioning (SWAC) utilizing icy seawater drawn from 3,000 feet below the surface. Indulge in Michelin-caliber French haute cuisine at Les Mutinés, savor fresh teppanyaki at Nami, and restore balance at Varua Te Ora Polynesian Spa elevated over a tranquil lily pond.
