What makes it so special
Why visit Tetiaroa?
A magical atoll, so close to Tahiti
It serves as a vital bird sanctuary, where several species come to lay their eggs and raise their young. The soft white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters of the lagoon rival even the most stunning atolls in the Tuamotu Islands.
A bird haven and paradise for nature lovers
A luxury hotel on the atoll, The Brando, is committed to environmental preservation and offers five-star accommodation in this tranquil corner of paradise.

Suggested itinerary
Two days in Tetiaroa
The atoll is the perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature. If you visit by catamaran, you may encounter humpback whales during the reproductive season. You’ll need to board the catamaran’s dinghy to cross the reef. Once ashore, you can enjoy a guided tour of the atoll, visit Bird Island, and learn about the flora and fauna of Tetiaroa and the conservation efforts being made to preserve this unique ecosystem. Snorkelling, swimming, and scuba diving are popular activities, along with visiting a freshwater lake and a natural bathing pool. In the early evening, you can marvel at a truly magnificent sunset.
The historical heritage of Tetiaroa
Culture and history
Tetiaroa holds a sacred place in Polynesian culture, as it was once reserved for members of Tahiti’s royal family. Marlon Brando fell in love with the atoll’s charm while filming ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’ in 1960 and purchased it a few years later. Since then, the island has become a paradise for visitors seeking tranquillity and authenticity.
