About us

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. The resort offers 36 exceptional villas including one residence : 30 one-bedroom villas, 4 two-bedroom villas, 1 three-bedroom villa, and 1 four-bedroom residence, each featuring its own private pool, white sand beach, and a bicycle for every guest to further explore the island, The Brando offers an unparalleled level of privacy and comfort.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club

Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!

On Purpose Adventures
On Purpose Adventures
multi-city
Crossed arms. Poked out bottom lips. Eye rolls. Sighs of displeasure. Mention team building, and you might get these reactions. The thought of another ropes course, forced togetherness or (gasp!) trust falls while keeping your already busy team from their work can create more stress than staying at the workplace. But not with On Purpose Adventures. Your group may need team building (focused on skill development/enhancement) or team bonding (focused on relationship-minded activities) or a combination of both. But whatever the activity, it needs to be facilitated WITH purpose and ON purpose. Most team building programs don’t tie the experience into real-world, job-related application. But ours does. On Purpose delivers team building and bonding with a purpose. Our programs are structured around the way your team operates, and can be tailored to fit your specific challenges and goals. Your team will engage in collaborative activities that build communication, cohesiveness, and enhance skills like collective problem solving, while having fun together. Team building and bonding with On Purpose Adventures brings your team members together in exciting, driven, purposeful activities that make a big impression and generate a genuine team response, keeping them productive and engaged. Skill enhancement happens in a real-life relatable structure, so your takeaways aren’t easily forgotten or lost as soon as the fun ends. Let us help you strengthen your team - on purpose.
