All-inclusive trip for two to The Brando, voted the “Best Resort in the World” in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2016 Readers’ Choice Awards. An exquisite luxury resort located in French Polynesia on the breathtaking private island of Tetiaroa and bought by Marlon Brando in the 1960s, The Brando is surrounded by a pristine aqua-blue lagoon and is designed to reflect the richness of Polynesian lifestyles and cultures. The resort features 35 ultra-private deluxe villas, each with its own private beach and plunge pool; international fine-dining experiences; spa; organic garden; library; and beach bar. The private flight transports you to Tahitian paradise, and its under-the-radar seclusion is enjoyed by celebrities Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen DeGeneres, Bradley Cooper, and former President Barack Obama. So don your sunglasses and leave your cares on the mainland—and travel in style with a gorgeous Louis Vuitton duffle. (All airfare included.)
