About Marlon Brando
Marlon Brando first came to Tetiaroa while filming Mutiny on the Bounty. He was immediately smitten with the island’s beauty and the sense it gave of being closer to paradise. Enchanted by the Polynesian way of life (and especially by leading lady Tarita, the love of his life), he resolved to own the island and succeeded in this goal in 1967. It was in this natural wonderland that he settled down, and finally found a home.
Brando, Tarita and his Tahitian children lived on Tetiaroa for several years. During this time he had a number of visitors, including researchers, noted celebrities and friends. After a few years he built and ran a small inn on the island, Tetiaroa Village, with mixed success.
Brando was passionate about preserving Tetiaroa’s natural beauty, astonishing biodiversity and cultural richness. In 1999 he asked Richard Bailey, a long-time resident of Tahiti who would create and operate some of the region’s finest resorts, to help him conceive a plan that would help Brando achieve his dream. Together, Brando and Bailey formed a partnership to pursue a vision of creating the world’s first and foremost post-carbon resort. An island where innovative new technologies would enable a self-sustaining luxury environment for hotel guests, scientific research and full-time residents.
