A unique luxury resort on French Polynesia’s breathtakingly beautiful private island of Tetiaroa- a 13 island chain circled by coral reefs 30 miles from Tahiti- just opened this month. Now you can stay on Marlon Brando’s private island, at the swanky eco-luxe The Brando Resort which opened in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of his death. Brando’s estate helped build this pure paradise on the island that he purchased in 1965- formerly the playground of Tahitian Kings. His vision for a luxurious sustainable resort has now come to life where 35 villas with private pools, restaurants, bars, an organic garden and orchard, and a luxury pearl shop can set you back up to $4,000 a night.
There are also 25 ocean-front properties available for luxury homes, and The Brando Resort offers an abundance of activities from bicycling, snorkeling and bird watching to open ocean scuba diving outside the reef, paddle boarding, and naturalist guided tours. The Varua Polynesian Spa is a natural haven of serenity, where the shores of a soothing pond in the heart of Mota Onetahi is where the Tahitian royal family once retreated to relax and indulge in beauty rituals. The three goals of the resort is to preserve and fund greater research of the environment- with its own scientific research center, the EcoStation- support the growth and well-being of the local community, and to build the most luxurious eco-friendly resort on the planet. This looks like a killer spot for the Godfather… www.thebrando.com
