Dive into Marlon Brando’s Secluded Private Island
Hollywood legend Marlon Brando fell in love with this place at first sight while filming "Mutiny on the Bounty" and purchased the island in 1967, dreaming of turning it into a sustainable ecological sanctuary and scientific research center.
After Marlon Brando’s passing, to honor him and realize his ecological vision, his family and partners jointly established The Brando hotel. Opened in 2014, every detail of the hotel reflects Brando’s love for nature and his forward-thinking environmental vision.
Now a private domain, guests can only reach it by private plane and exclusive inland flights, ensuring exceptional privacy. It has attracted many celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Lady Gaga, and the Obamas.
✈️【Location & Transportation】
The hotel is located on the private Tetiaroa Atoll, about 50 kilometers from Tahiti’s main island, accessible only by the hotel’s private plane (about a 20-minute flight, which is an extraordinary experience in itself).
🏡🌊【Secluded Paradise Privacy & Exclusivity】
There is only one hotel on the entire atoll, featuring just 35 standalone beach villas. This means vast space and absolute privacy, with very low guest density, ensuring every guest enjoys tranquility and seclusion, truly experiencing an "exclusive paradise."
♻️✅【Pioneering Environmental Commitment & Technology】
SEA Water Air Conditioning System: This is the hotel’s proud technology. It uses deep-sea cold water for air conditioning, reducing electricity consumption by 90%, setting a global example for sustainable hotels.
Energy Self-Sufficiency: Extensive use of solar panels and coconut oil power generation, committed to achieving carbon neutrality.
Waste Management: Advanced waste and water treatment systems ensure minimal impact on the atoll environment.
Ecological Protection: The hotel works closely with the Tetiaroa Society, a nonprofit scientific organization dedicated to atoll ecological protection and research. Guests can even visit and learn about their work, such as sea turtle conservation and coral research.
