The Brando
About the hotel
"An exclusive, all-villa resort set on an atoll once owned by Marlon Brando, The Brando boasts luxe accommodations, inspired dining and absolutely magnificent views."
The Brando’s natural surroundings are nothing short of breathtaking, and the resort endeavours to match that majesty. Just 35 villas decorate the beachfront, and all are simply spectacular. The resort’s limited occupancy means that each villa enjoys the luxury of space; so much of it, in fact, that it often feels like you’re on your own private island.

The Brando’s natural surroundings are nothing short of breathtaking, and the resort endeavours to match that majesty. Just 35 villas decorate the beachfront, and all are simply spectacular. The resort’s limited occupancy means that each villa enjoys the luxury of space; so much of it, in fact, that it often feels like you’re on your own private island. Beneath thatched roofs, the villas’ interior design is a homage to the surrounding environment; expect a warm palette of earth tones with an abundance of natural materials throughout. Full-wall windows open up to furnished private terraces (with swimming pools) and thoughtful additions include separate media rooms and al fresco bathtubs. Best of all, the beach is just steps away.
Speaking of the beach, it’s magnificent, and there’s no shortage of ways to experience it, whether on land or in the water. Explore the lagoon in a kayak or on a stand-up paddleboard, or venture below the waves with scuba lessons. Deep-sea fishing is another opportunity to get out into the open water, while tennis, biking and excursions led by naturalists offer plenty of ways to stay active on land. Get in touch with the local culture through Polynesian dance lessons and weaving lessons, or merely head to the spa and unwind with a rejuvenating treatment (or two).
Dining at the resort is a delight which is perhaps unsurprising given the abundance of fresh ingredients produced by the surrounding land and sea. The flavours of Japan are brought to the resort at Nami Teppanyaki which boasts three stellar menus featuring the bounty of the land, the sea or both. The intimate Les Mutinés is a romantic, elegantly tropical spot for a date night dinner (and comes with a world-class wine cellar to boot), while Bob’s Bar is a relaxed spot with an easy-going ambience. Beachcomber Café fuses Polynesian-inspired dishes with classic French fare, while the sultry Te Manu Bar is a magnificent place to end the evening with both a nightcap and unforgettable sunset views.

Just off the main path lies a thatched roof hut, your gateway to an elevated walkway that leads from public space to your private place.
As you cross the threshold and close the door behind you, the beach and ocean come into view, the foliage wraps you in a gentle embrace, and too many places to count call you to relax and take it all in. At this moment it’s just you, secluded from everything but the ones you love.Lowest rate

At the end of the road, on the last stop on the right sits a magnificent home nestled into the lush tropical undergrowth. With multiple spaces inside and outside for hanging out, grabbing some sun, relaxing, dining and drinking, this home was built for time together, yet apart from the rest of the resort. When it’s time to be alone, you can retreat to any of the three ensuite bedrooms — each its own private place.

At the far reaches of the Onetahi motu lies a villa big enough for families or friends while offering plenty of places to get away and nap, relax or have a little you time.
Staying here is like staying in your own private resort nestled amidst the palms and spread across the sand. Whether spending the afternoon together around the pool, or going your own separate ways, then coming back to meet at day’s end for a sunset cocktail before dinner, this is what life on Tetiaroa is all about.Lowest rate

A stay in our villas provides some of the best rest ever. Sleep with the shades up to arise to the morning sun or block out the light to create a comfortable cocoon to recharge in.
There’s no need for a white noise machine when you have the breezes, ocean wavelets lapping, and the sound of rainfall on the thatched roof, all of which make your stay about as peaceful as it gets.Lowest rate
