Comprised of a dozen small islets, Tetiaroa is a delicate atoll surrounding a sparkling lagoon, 30 miles north of Tahiti. What was once a popular retreat for Tahitian royalty, was bought by the famed Hollywood actor, Marlon Brando in 1966 and converted into a small village and later an exclusive, luxury eco-resort. The all-inclusive resort features 35 deluxe villas each with its own private beach area and plunge pool, restaurants showcasing Polynesian and French cuisine, a wonderful spa, a lagoon-view bar, beach bar, pool, library, pearl shop, boutique, and an exhilarating array of watersports. Despite its ultra-luxurious facilities, Tetiaroa has managed to retain a sense of the island’s original unspoilt beauty. By hardly leaving a carbon footprint on the earth, this tiny, remote destination will leave a lasting impression on your heart.
