ELEGANT TRAVELLER

The Brando, Tetiaroa Private Island Blogs

Leading the way in sustainable barefoot luxury, The Brando is located on the postcard-perfect private island of Tetiaroa, surrounded by powdered white sand and the brilliant blue of a tranquil lagoon. The isle was once chosen as the personal retreat for Marlon Brando, justifiably defined by the actor as “beautiful beyond my capacity to describe”. This chic, eco-conscious resort is committed to protecting the natural splendour and precious diversity of Tetiaroa – home to turtles, manta rays and an abundance of tropical birds – as well as offering guests a variety of cultural experiences that showcase the vibrancy of the French Polynesian lifestyle. Non-motorised watersports maintain the pristine environment, the glorious Explorer Centre offers an array of workshops on the local wildlife, while the restaurants (including one from Michelin-starred chef Jean Imbert) serve up locally-sourced, organic produce.
