A collection of my favorite Private Island getaways on the islands of Tahiti.
Tetiaroa, Society Islands French Polynesia
36 Rooms
One of the more famous of private islands resorts, and for good reason. The Brando is an excellent resort. As an ecological study space they are doing amazing work on the atoll as well.
The Brando is a unique luxury resort on French Polynesia’s breathtakingly beautiful atoll of Tetiaroa. It sits on one of a dozen small islands (motus) that surround a spectacular three-mile wide lagoon. The motus are all privately owned and available exclusively to the resort’s guests and visiting researchers.
With access to the atoll by a 20-minute private plane flight from Tahiti, the all-inclusive resort features 36 secluded villas with private pools on beautiful white-sand beaches frequented by sea turtles and exotic birds. On July 1, 2019, a spectacular three-bedroom residence (equipped with an additional fourth bedroom serving as staff quarters), Teremoana, was unveiled. This Polynesian style resort offers three restaurants showcasing Polynesian-inspired dishes, East/West fusion, classic French cuisine and Japanese specialties. The all-day Beachcomber Cafe is the main restaurant, and superb gastronomic dinners are served at Les Mutines. Nami is an intimate, eight-guest venue serving delectable teppanyaki prepared by chef Kaito Nakamura.

Nukutepipi is quite possibly one of the most stunningly beautiful private islands in the world. This secluded French Polynesia private paradise is as far-flung as you can imagine, sitting unspoilt in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean. Thanks to Guy Laliberté – the man behind Cirque du Soleil – his private island nirvana now welcomes discerning guests to make “Nuku” their exclusive escape from reality.
For Laliberté and his team, to cherish and preserve the ecosystem of this atoll is the true essence of Nukutepipi, as is the desire to pay tribute to Polynesia’s cultural traditions. This naturally breathtaking private paradise is home to rare flora & fauna, a protected lagoon framed by a vibrant coral reef, and one of the most brilliantly white beaches we have ever seen. The team at Nukutepipi are dedicated to maintaining and sustaining a balance between the needs of the island’s natural habitat and those of its guests. Of course no private island is complete without a world-class recording studio – which Bono, amongst others passing through this part of the world, can pay testament to. Escape to this far-flung private island retreat and let yourself be surrounded by your nearest and dearest (Nuku is offered to only one group at a time), together with a myriad of protected species, gently swaying coconut palms, and the calmest & clearest waters lapping at the picture-perfect shore just steps from your villa.
Nukutepipi is a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation, a place where all of your senses will be inspired by the most breathtaking part of the planet.
