The Brando

The Brando is an exceptional luxury resort set on the private island of Tetiaroa – an idyllic atoll in French Polynesia, encircling a crystal-clear lagoon just 30 miles northeast of Tahiti. Accessible only by private plane from a dedicated terminal at Faa'a International Airport, the island offers 36 beautifully designed villas, world-class dining, and a host of curated experiences suited to couples, families, or friends. If you're seeking a luxury vacation to French Polynesia, The Brando is an unforgettable choice.

Accomodation

The resort features 35 one-, two- and three-bedroom villas + 1 four-bedroom residence. Each one has been designed to enhance the serenity of the surroundings, so you’ll feel as if the indoor and outdoor have merged together. The living rooms are furnished with comfortable chairs and sofas, there’s a private pool, and the beach is located just steps away. The adjoining bathrooms feature al-fresco bathtubs.

Food & Drink

The resort’s two restaurants showcase Polynesian-inspired dishes, East/West fusion, and classic French cuisine. The Beachcomber Café serves Polynesian-inspired dishes alongside classic French cuisine. The Nami teppanyaki grill experience is curated for an intimate group, where the chef’s expertise is on display as sushi is artfully prepared and meats are grilled to perfection. Les Mutinés represents the pinnacle of The Brando’s dining experiences. It provides guests with a theatrical dining journey that charts a historical course akin to the Bounty ship’s travels.
