Places in Mermaid Bay villa row

Les Mutinés An elegant fine-dining restaurant featuring gourmet French-inspired dishes in a sophisticated setting.

Best time to visit: May to October (dry season), for the calmest lagoon conditions and the clearest skies for the atoll's stargazing and diving.
Getting around: Guests fly via a 20-minute private flight directly from Tahiti's international airport to Tetiaroa's own airstrip; once on the atoll, bicycles and buggies connect the villas along Turtle Beach and Mermaid Bay to the spa and dining venues.
Currency: CFP Franc (XPF), pegged to the euro
Language: French and Tahitian; English is spoken at the resort.
Timezone: TAHT (UTC-10, no daylight saving)
Current trends: The Brando continues to anchor its identity around Marlon Brando's original conservation vision, with one of the Pacific's leading sustainability programs powering the atoll and reinforcing its position as a benchmark for environmentally conscious ultra-luxury; Les Mutinés' French-inspired fine dining and Te Manu Bar's treetop sunset setting remain the resort's most talked-about culinary experiences.
