Description

The Brando rests on the private atoll of Tetiaroa, surrounded by quiet turquoise waters and untouched nature. The setting feels secluded and pure, where white sands, gentle breezes, and calm lagoons create a sense of complete escape. Villas are designed with privacy in mind, each tucked into lush vegetation with their own outdoor space and pool. Interiors are airy and understated, using natural textures, soft tones, and wide windows that open to the island’s peaceful landscape.

Staying here feels deeply connected to the environment, with thoughtful touches that highlight Polynesian culture and the island’s rhythm. Days unfold at a gentle pace — from relaxing in your villa to exploring the lagoon by paddleboard or simply listening to the sound of the ocean. The resort’s Varua Te Ora Spa offers treatments inspired by traditional Polynesian practices, along with a quiet relaxation area overlooking tropical gardens. You also have access to a fitness room, a boutique, a freshwater pool, and a programme of children’s activities.
