The Brando, Three-bedroomVilla TETIAROA, FRENCH POLYNESIA When Marlon Brando famously purchased the Polynesian island Tetiaroa in 1966, he did so with the intention of creating his own luxury escape while maintaining the vivid, delicate environment of the island. Fifty-odd years later, his vision is kept alive with The Brando hotel, fi rst opened in 2014. The beach resort is alone on the island, a tropical utopia of turquoise lagoons, white sands and swaying palm trees. Only accessible via the resort’s private plane, The Brando is a master class of uber-exclusivity matched only by its luxury. Particularly popular is the resort’s Three-bedroom Villa, which comes with an expanded deck, a 236-sq-ft pool and an outdoor bathtub for the master bedroom, which is separated from the rest of the villa by an above-ground walkway. The property’s environmental accreditation holds up, too — The Brando has Platinum LEED Certi fi cation. From $10,700 per night. Contact reservation@thebrando.com, +1 689 4086 6300, thebrando.com
