Tetiaroa

6 km² • No permanent residents

Just 20 minutes by air from Tahiti, Tetiaroa feels like a place untouched by time. Thirteen motu encircle a turquoise lagoon with no natural pass, providing a sanctuary for thousands of seabirds. Acquired by Marlon Brando in 1966, the atoll is now a protected natural haven where exceptional luxury and environmental conservation exist side by side

Access

20-min private flight from Tahiti
