You arrive in Tetiaroa, directly in the heart of paradise: The Brando Hotel. No ferry here, but a private flight from Tahiti, operated by Air Tetiaroa—barely twenty minutes to escape the hustle and bustle of the world. Upon landing, your butler awaits you on the tarmac, a flower lei around his neck, a glass of champagne in hand. The air is mild, the silence soothing, and time seems to stand still. Welcome to this private atoll, where luxury is lived discreetly. The Brando is not just a hotel; it’s a rare experience, an emotion, a timeless interlude.
A sanctuary for a chosen few
Once a refuge for Tahitian kings, Tetiaroa is now a playground for a discreet elite. This isolated atoll in the Pacific Ocean welcomes travelers willing to invest thousands of euros to experience pure luxury in the heart of unspoiled nature.

The Brando: an extraordinary hotel
On Tetiaroa, there’s only one hotel: The Brando. An exceptional five-star resort, a member of the National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World. Here, each villa—35 in total—has a private pool, a beach, and impeccable service, without ever standing out. No noisy reception, no crowds. Just you, and the understated perfection of the setting.
Ecological luxury, designed for tomorrow
What sets The Brando apart is its vision. This hotel isn’t just about luxury. It’s about a profound commitment to the environment: 90% of the energy comes from renewable sources, and the air conditioning is powered by deep-sea water. Even the complimentary sunscreen is reef-friendly. Marlon Brando, the island’s former owner, already dreamed of environmentally friendly tourism, and today, that dream is becoming a reality.
Star-rated gastronomy, tailor-made experiences
Meals? Forget the buffet. At Tetiaroa, every dish is a celebration. You can choose from three exclusive restaurants: one on the beach, where you can dine barefoot in the sand, an intimate eight-seat Japanese restaurant, or a gourmet restaurant designed by Guy Martin. Each culinary experience is designed to transport you to a world of absolute refinement. But the experience doesn’t end there. After an unforgettable dinner, dive into the unknown with a private dive, enjoy massages suspended among the trees, or explore the sacred marae… Everything is designed to make your experience exceptional.
The intimacy of a closed circle
At Tetiaroa, the clientele is discreet, yet impressive. Celebrities, influential business leaders… Here, you might run into figures like Robert De Niro or Leonardo DiCaprio. But no one is watching you. The place is designed for privacy and silence, so that everyone can fully enjoy this exceptional moment.

The art of disappearing into beauty
Rates start at around €3,000 per night for a simple villa, making this stay reserved for a privileged clientele. But it promises you a rare and unforgettable experience, where every detail is designed with you in mind. Tetiaroa is more than a hotel; it’s a journey into a world apart, where nature reigns and you can reconnect with what matters most. In addition to the extraordinary experience you’re already living at Tetiaroa, The Brando offers you the opportunity to celebrate the most precious moments of your life: weddings, birthdays, or any other special occasion. Here, every moment takes on a new dimension. With your feet in the sand, your heart carried by the sweetness of Polynesia, you write a unique chapter in your story, surrounded by those you love.
