THE BRANDO

"Tetiaroa is beautiful beyond my capacity to describe." - Marlon Brando

ACCOMMODATION

The Brando has 35 spacious one, two and three bedroomed villas dotted along the sands of Turtle Beach and Mermaid Bay. Positioned amongst the island's many trees, the villas have been designed with renewable energy and Polynesian touches, with neutral décor and large windows lending a lovely sense of space. Each has its own terrace with pool and outdoor dining area, as well as an indoor media room with TV, sound system and WiFi.

FOR FAMILIES

Children are welcome on Tetiaroa and are encouraged to join in any of the activities and excursions, many of which have a focus on nature or culture. The 'Lagoon School' is specifically aimed at children between the ages of six and 12, and will introduce them to the turtles, rays and fish that inhabit the turquoise seas. 'Turtle Night' (November to March) and whale watching (August to October) are also fun for little ones.
