Go on, treat yourself!

Working in travel sometimes has a serious side effect of “Destination Envy.” Destination Envy or DE as its scientifically known, can cause a severe case of daydreaming. I recently discover one such property which caused this side effect and felt the need to share.

The Brando.

It really doesn’t need an introduction as the images will do it without me needing to describe how stunningly beautiful this setting really is, in fact by now you have probably lost the thread of what I am saying because you have early onset DE but stick with me though!

Situated on the picturesque island of Tetiaroa in French Polynesia, this 35-villa resort carefully sits amidst pristine nature. One of a dozen small islands, this atoll is only 30 miles northeast of Tahiti so combines really well with its nearest neighbours.

You can paddle board or kayak to one of the nearby islands, or scuba dive just outside your own villa. It’s not uncommon to see sea turtles, manta rays and plenty of exotic bird life but The Brando offers an awful lot more. It is home to its very own research station, and you can take a fascinating guided tour of the station as well the rest of the atoll. Children can also get involved with the Lagoon School which has been especially designed for 6–12-year-olds. You can also go whale watching in mid to late summer and deep-sea fishing.

This property really is a dream destination and quite frankly with what we’ve all had to endure over the last few years, maybe its time your case of Destination Envy became a reality?
