ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER RESORTS
The former sanctuary of Tahitian royalty and Hollywood star Marlon Brando, today the private atoll of Tetiaroa is home to one of the most sought-after resorts in the South Pacific.
A vision of 12 coral islets framed by a glorious turquoise lagoon, it’s easy to see why Marlon Brando fell in love with Tetiaroa during the filming of Mutiny on the Bounty. The actor went on to purchase the island in 1966 with a vision of preserving its pristine natural beauty, and The Brando has very much kept this legacy alive; promising first-class luxury rooted in sustainability and reverence for Tetiaroa and its inhabitants. Think rainwater-fed swimming pools, solar-powered energy and electric carts for getting around the resort.
The 35 secluded villas live on the motu (island) of Onetahi, each with its own swathe of beach, plunge pool and gardens. Between spa sessions and romantic candlelit dinners, there is plenty to do both on land and sea, so take your pick from birdwatching, island-hopping boat tours and snorkelling over coral gardens. A great place to learn more about Polynesian culture is at the Explorer Center, but you can also immerse yourself in local traditions through dance, music and weaving workshops.
