The Brando Resort Villa Tour dark mode
March 07, 2019
The Brando Resort has 30 villas, mostly in a 1 bedroom format but also some 2 and 3 bedroom layouts for families and groups. Each villa sits on a large, private lot surrounded but lush tropical vegetation with its own pool and private expanse of white sand beach. Daily but invisible staff ensure the grounds are immaculate, including the beach which is groomed nightly and freed of debris. Neighbors may be present, but are invisible.

The island of Tetiaroa is only accessible by private aircraft from Tahiti. Scheduled flights are operated by Air Tetiaroa, or guests can charter a helicopter if they require a more flexible schedule. The airstrip is not adequate to accommodate jets. A Flower Welcome to the Brando

The pool is a heated freshwater pool about 4.5 feet deep, with a freshwater outdoor shower nearby. The pool's heat is rarely if ever used, as the outside temperature is about 85 degrees year round. Jessica by the Pool
