Tetiaroa has always been a place of stunning beauty, tranquility, and rejuvenation—first for Tahitian royalty, who chose this island above all others for their summer retreat, and later for Marlon Brando who chose it for his personal sanctuary. Access to the island by private plane, the resort features white-sand beaches, swaying coconut palms, exotic birds, and abundant marine life.
