The Brando, Tetiaroa Private Island

A beautiful private island with about 20 beachside villas spread out over two beaches. Several good restaurants, wonderful food,and great service. They arranged a private jet for us to Moorea, turning a 12 hour journey due to limited ferry service on Sunday into a one hour journey (on Mother’s Day). The tours and activities are excellent. We were shocked when the small boat to bird island that seats at or so had just us and one other couple had a live Polynesia band with singers. Even the captain and bird guide joined in the singing. If I had to nitpick, their best restaurant is a bit small and intimate, but one group of four thought there booming voices should echo throughout. We left for the more casual restaurant and then were surprised when a celebrity also staying on the island left that restaurant and were seated next to us and the causal restaurant.

Absolutely a must! This wasn’t our first time. We have been lucky enough to visit before. Brando offers the ultimate in eco luxury! Staff is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend taking advantage of all their tours. The green tour is so fascinating! They really make you feel special and very well taken care of. You have all the amenities but also they do so much to make it a zero carbon footprint. If you can plan to be there on a Friday, it’s a must! As their Luau is truly an authentic experience. You feel like you’re with your Ohana…so beautiful. Also, take their Pareo making class! Timmy is fantastic! Tihoni is the absolute best if you are lucky enough to get him for a private boat tour! All staff are fantastic! Can’t wait to go back.

We had a fabulous week at the Brando in March, we booked it with the wonderful team at Pacific 4 Less. This is the third trip to Tahiti I have booked with Pacific 4 Less. They are wonderful to deal with, very professional and take care of everything. I can highly recommend them. The Brando is very special, absolutely gorgeous. The staff is very accommodating and the villas are amazing. Very spacious and each one is very private, you do not see your neighbors at all. The beaches and the water are gorgeous, The spa is really beautiful, they’ve created quite a serene setting with a large lily pond lake in front of the spa. We enjoyed facials and massages, and the staff at the spa are very nice and professional. I can highly recommend the Brando for a beautiful escape to Tahiti.

Had a great 5-day stay in September. Rooms are great and private. Staff was very nice as attentive. Food and drinks at the beach bar were a highlight. We really enjoyed breakfast as well. Dinners were fine, but didn’t quite knock it out of the park for us.

I don’t believe that there enough words to express what a spectacular resort this is. We went in thinking it would be a once in a lifetime stay and now will do anything we can to get back. The facilities are stunning, biking along the paths is magical but it is really the staff that makes this place exceptional. They are friendly, helpful and available but not ever intrusive. If you can get to the Brando you should, you will not regret it for a second. We can’t wait to get back.

What struck me most was how seamlessly everything flowed - check-in was a breeze, room service was prompt yet unobtrusive, and every staff member seemed to genuinely enjoy making guests' stays special. The ambiance perfectly balanced modern luxury with cozy comfort. The common areas invited both socializing and peaceful relaxation, while the rooms felt like private retreats. A mast
