THE BRANDO | Phenomenal private island resort in French Polynesia (full tour in 4K)

Join me on a full tour of The Brando, one of the world's most exclusive private island resorts.

Only accessible by private plane, The Brando is located in French Polynesia's magnificent Tetiaroa Atoll, offering carefree luxury in the midst of pristine nature. The ultraluxe resort features 35 massive villas each with its own private beach area and plunge pool. It was in this natural wonderland that the legendary actor Marlon Brando settled down, and finally found his home.

Never have I been so mesmerized by a “travel video” as I was by this one……for every single 135 minutes of it !
Did not know such a place existed.
It took me back to another time……
I was in high school….and traveling home from Mexico City via LA. with my mom and brother.
Our flight was held up at the gate in Mexico City for a late passenger.
The passenger boarded and sat next to me.
When the seatbelt sign went off, I noted several passengers would stop and ask the man sitting next to me to sign whatever they handed to him.
He was very pleasant and we visited. He shared his newspaper.
At one point, he got up to use the restroom……and my mom, sitting across the isle, leaned over and asked me if I knew who I was sitting with….
I told her I thought it was probably a bullfighter, because they are revered in Mexico.
No, she replied…..that’s Marlon Brando.
Yep….it was.
Spent 4 hours just shooting the breeze……with “The Brando.”

If I ever had the good fortune to stay there, I would spend the first 2 hours crying my eyes out stunned by the beauty. Seriously. What heaven is this?

[brynbulloch]

There’s no telling how many hundreds of hours I’ve spent devouring travel videos. THIS, by far is hands down the best yet. The beauty of this place and the minimalistic honesty in which it was captured at times moved me to unexpected crocodile tears welling up. Thank you for taking me on a journey I would never have experienced otherwise. ❤

[bendjinzau]

One of the closest place to Paradise. I’m speechless by so much beauty, calm and happiness.

[iambettygrajales]

I loved the fact that you actually gave us the opportunity to listen to the ocean and the air flowing...music is fantastic, this video is amazing, thank ypu!

[dubuque]

A stunning dream trip from beginning to end, perfectly choreographed. I could not let go and at times felt as though I was there. Amazing villas, dining and amenities in such a remote surreal setting. Wow, blown away. Bravo.

[constancedesmond]

Imagine how lucky this pilot is to see these stunning views all the time!

[debrabutler]

Isn't it amazing? This little blue dot, in an expansive blue ocean, on a big blue planet. I'm not certain that words can express what comes to mind when viewing this video. I have been watching you from almost the beginning and while, as another viewer stated, you have continually raised the bar of your editing skills, you have not strayed from your mission to travel the world to share these experiences. To show what it looks like and perhaps feels like first, and not just you traveling to these places. They inspire dreams, bucket lists, and so much more

What an absolute paradise, I was almost expecting to see Ricardo montabaln and little tattoo appear from behind a tree, thank you for taking the time to film this for us, The freshwater lake area was literaly like a dream

Some time ago, I spent time in the Maldives - a similar type of resort.
Those tiny atolls have lots in common. When I woke up in the early morning and ran on the beach when was nobody else, just sun, wind, blue sky, even bluer ocean, and myself, I felt in a way words cannot describe.
I loved Marlon Brando - he was one of the finest and most exceptional actors Hollywood had ever produced. Besides tons of characters he astonishingly embodied, this resort is his other legacy. Simple and beautiful, reflecting Brando's love for nature and local people.

Lovely work, great camera, and pleasant sound; though, what I enjoyed the most was when you were silently walking on the beaches. Just your steps and wind...
Pure beauty!
Thank you for sharing😇.

[adriatic]

What a beautiful paradise, perfect for retreating from the everyday rush. And perfect for filming a movie there. Kudos to Brando for thinking environmentally friendly.

[AnilGupta-drvr]

Never been so moved watching one of these videos, unbelievable natural beauty matched with exquisite design and cuisine.

[bstruks]

Can't imagine I'll have the opportunity to ever visit this paradise, but your video has shown me the amazing beauty. I'll keep wishing.

[leesimpson]

I noticed that this report had dropped this morning while I was working on my PC, so I just had to watch it. I enjoyed it so much that I intend to rewatch it this evening in 4K on my TV, with the obligatory glass of wine of course. What more can I say? Excellent as usual.

[andreasjung]

I like the spontaneous dance the highly-paid staff gave to welcome you. People dance out of joy when they see some unknown people, thats priceless!

[SB-wqnr]

Nothing can surpass the beauty of nature.

[PilotWanderlust]
