Green Tour

Go behind the scenes to learn how research, scientific studies, and innovation efforts led by the Tetiaroa Society become reality in a real-world environment. The Brando implements these ideas to show you how a world-class luxury resort can produce a climate-positive stay for guests. The Research Station is a live-work space for scientists and the starting point for a tour that’s all about how sustainability is practiced at the resort.

Highlights include a sea water air conditioning (SWAC) system used to cool your villa, organic gardens which supply our restaurants, and thousands of solar panels that provide electricity. The elements of this tour show how sustainability is adapted, practiced, and continually expanded in a luxury resort setting.
