With a mission to provide guests with an enriching travel experience while at the same time “preserving and protecting the natural biodiversity of Tetiaroa,” the Brando Hotel is a spectacular getaway in French Polynesia.

The hotel is named after famous actor Marlon Brando, who first visited Tetiaroa Island while filming Mutiny on the Bounty and went on to say, “If I have my way, Tetiaroa will remain forever a place that reminds Tahitians of what they are and what they were centuries ago.”

Marlon Brando’s estate still owns this private island.
