Exclusive Package:
7 nights on the award winning Paul Gauguin Luxury Cruise + 3 nights at the exemplary resort, The Brando.
Tetiaroa is an atoll in the middle of nowhere—utterly indescribable, where everything just is, the way it was intended to be. A massive ring of coral surrounds 12 motus, creating a barrier to keep the raging ocean beyond at bay. Inside it is utter calm.
In this quiet place, a renowned resort lives in harmony with nature, and the Polynesian people guide you through their lands. It’s hard to describe what you’ll feel when you’re here, other than to say connecting to a place and its people never felt so authentic, so real, so right.
EXPERIENCES
This atoll, Tetiaroa, is literally brimming with life. It’s all here, just waiting to be explored, by you. From guided excursions in kayaks to the outer limits of the atoll, to an invitation to learn how to play the ukulele or weave palm fronds into a work of art, there’s so much to discover and share.
The Brando is singularly focused on one mission: zero carbon. Sustainability on the atoll is a partnership—if the Tetiaroa Society is the guardian of the atoll, then The Brando is the vehicle to showcase the work of the Society with the world. Everything we create, everything we do, everything we share is to showcase this incredible place. We promise, the impact of your visit will live on in your mind long after you leave, but it won’t be felt on the atoll.

Paul Gauguin Cruises - Luxury cruising in French Polynesia and the South Pacific:
Designed specifically to glide in luxury through the shallow seas of the South Pacific, The Gauguin is a small-ship cruiser’s dream. She delivers travelers to intimate ports inaccessible to larger cruise ships, all the while providing a travel experience that is nothing short of luxurious. Once on board, guests enjoy newly-decorated spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, three dining venues, an extensive spa, and five-star service. Life on The Gauguin also reflects the beauty and rich cultural heritage of the islands she calls upon, with a warm, friendly feel, informal setting, and even a beloved troupe of Les Gauguin and Les Gauguines—local Tahitians who serve as onboard hosts and hostesses, entertainers, and storytellers.
