More
The Brando is a unique luxury resort on French Polynesia’s breathtakingly beautiful island atoll of Tetiaroa, less than 9 hours from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). A private tropical island once owned by Academy Award-winning actor Marlon Brando, hence its name. Tetiaroa is comprised of various small, pristine motus (islands) surrounded by a spectacular three-mile wide turquoise lagoon. Given the island is privately owned, it is not accessible to outside guests. The Brando Resort guests will have private access to all of the island's natural wonders which offer abundant water activities (snorkeling, stand-up paddle boarding, & canoeing), deep sea & fly-fishing, wildlife and archeological tours, as well as many opportunities for idyllic, secluded beach escapes. With just 36 beach villas and residences, each with its own private pool, white sand beach & a bicycle for every guest to further explore the island. The Brando is the ultimate reward for top achiever's and senior executives looking to connect, inspire and decompress.
