The Story of Marlon Brando and Tetiaroa

Marlon Brando discovered the island of Tetiaroa in the early 1960s while filming Mutiny on the Bounty. During a hike in Tahiti, Brando caught sight of the island for the first time and was immediately captivated by its indescribable beauty and authentic Polynesian charm. The island offered a peaceful and secluded place, ideal for reconnecting with nature, others, and oneself.
Deeply moved by his discovery, Brando felt called to preserve this unique place and create an environmentally respectful sanctuary. He was fascinated by renewable resources, organic farming, and alternative energies long before these concerns became global priorities. His ambition was to build structures of beauty while minimizing environmental impact.
Marlon Brando held a profound respect for the land of Tetiaroa, for the Tahitians who came before him, and for those who would follow. His project on Tetiaroa reflected this respect — a legacy that lives on today through The Brando.
