The Brando Resort (Tetiaroa)

17° 1.4′ S · 149° 35.8′ W

Marlon Brando's dream realised as a luxury eco-resort on motu Onetahi: 35 villas, the Les Mutinés fine-dining room, Bob's Bar in Brando's original bar, and the Tetiaroa Society Ecostation.

Practical

Coordinates from French Wikipedia. Guests arrive on a 20-minute private flight from Tahiti (Air Tetiaroa). Dining: Les Mutinés (dinner), Bob's Bar (lunch and dinner), Nami Teppanyaki, Beachcomber Café (all day), Te Manu Bar, private and in-villa dining (thebrando.com). The resort's sites say nothing about access for non-guests or yacht visitors, so assume it is closed to passing boats unless you arrange it in advance through thebrando.com/contact. It has a reef dock and an island dock (CASUP). It opened in July 2014.
