Marlon Brando first visited Tetiaroa, a 12-island atoll 30 miles north of Tahiti, while filming "Mutiny on the Bounty." He bought it five years later, and briefly ran an inn, where he invited conservationists and researchers interested in the South Pacific ecosystem. This month, Tetiaroa continues this legacy with the opening of the Brando, a 35-villa luxury resort and scientific research lab.

The resort uses solar power, energy-efficient seawater air-conditioning, and a coconut-oil biofuel power station, all toward its (nearly realized) goal of being fully carbon neutral. It also piles on creature comforts. Thatch roofs shelter one-, two- and three-bedroom cottages featuring pitched ceilings, and bathrooms with access to outdoor bathtubs. Guests are encouraged to visit Ecostation, the science lab, where lagoon fish and crustacean populations, among other topics, are studied.
