The Brando is an exceptional luxury resort around the secluded private atoll of Tetiaroa in French Polynesia along with a model for sustainable tourism.
A dozen small islands surround an attractive lagoon 30 miles north of Tahiti in this South Pacific sanctuary.
The Brando boasts 35 ultra-private villas, two restaurants, a bar and a spa. But it's not typical resort getaway.
Since its inauguration in 2022, the Brando has hosted everyone famous from Leonardo DiCaprio to former The president.
But this magnificent resort has more to show off than an exclusive celebrity guest list.

The Brando aims to create a sustainable development that will resonate with visitors and supply opportunities to find out more about the place and also the people of French Polynesia.
The hotel is another state-of-the-art eco-research center having a variety of activities and programs aimed at fighting global warming, reversing habitat destruction and preventing the extinction of endangered plant and animal species.
11 from the atoll’s 12 islands are uninhabited and protected. The twelfth, Motu Onetahi, is home to the LEED platinum-certified, carbon-neutral resort created by Richard Bailey of Pacific Beachcomber. as per The Points Guy.
“In accessory for a $12 million sustainable sea water ac system (known as SWAC) that uses cool ocean water to partially power the property's AC units, the accommodation is powered by generators running on locally produced coconut oil and a large number of solar power panels,” as per The Points Guy.
A desalination plant, composting facility and dozens of beehives that leave honey for on-site use and consumption are also part of the resort’s features.
The Tetiaroa Society operates an on-site eco-station that provides education, research, and important data and information for other hotels seeking to follow suit.
Everything continues to be thought through, from minimizing waste and carbon footprint to exceptional care for the atoll’s wildlife.
“It's a real moment of transparency with this guests who understand the behind the curtain in our eco-resort,” says Anne-Laure Amabile, The Brando's corporate social responsibility coordinator. “They realize that sustainable issues can be solved when we work on a large scale.”
