The Brando is one of the world's most exclusive private island retreats. Named in honor of actor Marlon Brando, who purchased the island after falling in love with the destination during the filming of "Mutiny on the Bounty," the resort harbors 35 private villas with plunge pools and direct access to empty stretches of pristine white-sand beach. The no-expenses-spared all-inclusive services include cuisine from a Michelin two-star chef, one treatment per day at a holistic spa, and unlimited activities, from exploring the lagoon in a Polynesian outrigger canoe to attending lectures about local marine life. Arriving at the resort via a private plane adds to the resort's exclusivity, and its high price. Those craving a private island stay at a lower price point might enjoy Vahine Island, while those seeking an overwater bungalow might consider Le Meridien Tahiti.
