THE EXTRAORDINARY
Marlon Brando discovered Tetiaroa during the filming of “Mutiny on the Bounty”. He immediately fell under the spell of this island of rare beauty that seemed to bring him closer to paradise. With his friend Bailey, he wanted to create the world's first zero-carbon-footprint resort. An island where innovative new technologies would enable guests, residents and researchers to live independently in a luxurious environment. The Brando is the legacy of this shared vision.
ETHICS
The Brando demonstrates a genuine commitment to environmental protection, such as producing air conditioning via seawater air conditioning or using solar panels and renewable energies. Its carbon footprint is close to zero. The villas are fitted out with recycled materials and locally sourced produce to support the indigenous economy and respect the environment.
