Bungalow one - Brando's World Famous Over Water Bungalow in Bora Bora!

PLEASE NOTE OUR CANCELLATION POLICY. THERE IS $1,000.00 DUE UPON BOOKING WHICH IS NON-REFUNDABLE. THE LAST PAYMENT IS DUE TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL AND IS ALSO NON-REFUNDABLE. HOWEVER, IF I CAN FIND ANOTHER CLIENT TO TAKE ALL OR SOME OF THAT RESERVED SPACE, I WILL REFUND ALL OR PART OF THE SECOND PAYMENT... WE HAVE THE ONLY THREE OVER WATER BUNGALOWS WITH FULL AIR CONDITIONING, new appliances and KAYAKS! Extra housekeeping available. COMPARE OUR RATES TO THE RESORTS... The owners of the Black Pearl Over Water Bungalow are proud to present Marlon Brando's own over water bungalow in Bora Bora. Along with his second Bungalow, Marlon's Over Water Hideaway... A gorgeous covered terrace, overlooking the lagoon and palm covered islands, just a few hundred yards away, is fully furnished with quality outdoor furniture and gas barbecue. Here you can enjoy many wonderful hours, reading a good book, marveling at the beauty of the area, or just doing nothing. If you wish to take a dip in the warm waters, nothing could be simpler. Just go down to your private dock and dive in. Right there you can snorkel for hours, check out the thousands of colorful fish in and around the coral reef, or just lie on the beach under a palm tree, while sipping a Tahitian punch. We can help set up tours for you: Authentic Tahitian Motu picnics, Polynesian weddings, Jet skis, shark and manta ray feed, sunset sailing, scuba diving, island jeep and snorkeling tours, even a tattoo with a Tahitian master!

Additional Information: As the owners of the very popular Black Pearl Over Water Bungalow in Bora Bora, we can't tell you how excited we are to offer, for the first time, Marlon Brando's historic over water bungalow for vacation rentals. We remodeled the bungalow to meet the needs of our sophisticated travelers and it is beautiful. Marlon Brando owned two bungalows, one for him and one for his friends. We have purchased both. Both Brando's Bora Bora Bungalow and Marlon's over water hideaway are the perfect location for snorkeling, walking hiking and swimming. Paradise surrounds you.
If you need help with rental cars, international or domestic flights, we can help with that too. We have many returnees and we are confident that this will be your vacation of a lifetime! Our rates are very affordable, especially if you've checked out the prices of some of the 4 and 5 star hotels on the island. Our home is a true travel bargain.
Please reserve early as high season books up fast.

Car Rental: You will need a car. Other options are carts, bikes, taxi and water taxi (Not always available).
Please note: Contact our manager directly for Car Rentals. Nir's rates for his 'Client cars' are far below the rental car places on the island.

Trip, Airline, Hotel and Car Assistance!!!: We would be pleased and happy to help you with your entire trip to paradise. We can arrange your International Flights to Tahiti on any applicable carrier, as well as your Inter-Island Flights on Air Tahiti.

Fabulous overwater stay
We loved everything about our stay, booking, communication and location. Our recommendation would be to add a blender. Wr would have brought one had the description not said there was one in the bungalow. Overall, hardly worth mentioning but if you plan on morning smoothies bring a blender. Wonderful placento celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary! Thanks Richard and Tiera you both were amazing to work with.

An amazing place!
What a spectacular bungalow. The hosts Nir and Tiare were so great and very accommodating, even picking us up from the port and allowing us to rent their vehicle (which is a must). The location was perfect and the bungalow exceeded our expectations. Getting used to the business hours in town and restaurants were a little tricky but overall everlasting memories were made and would not hesitate to return to Bora Bora and stay here again.

Amazing overwater bungalow
Truly amazing location and only one of five overwater bungalows on the main island of Bora Bora. The booking process was great with Richard and when we arrived, Nir and Tiare were available for any questions and help we needed. Stepping off the private deck into the water never got old and we had fun snorkeling around the area. The area was very quiet and peaceful, but there were a few roosters within earshot so be prepared with earplugs if that wakes you up. The kitchen had all the essentials you'd need to prepare meals which was perfect for us. We can't wait to return!

Unique location in Beautiful Bora Bora
Unique private overwater bungalow. A little more basic and isolated than expected but had a great time exploring the island.

Exactly what I was looking for
This was just what I was looking for, a place away from crowds but not isolated. It's clean and simple, not a lot of frills but has all the necessities. My stay was very enjoyable. Hope to come back someday and would definitely look to stay here again too.

What a beautiful place! We ended our honeymoon here and utterly loved the bungalow. The water and deck were perfect at every time of day. The Brando effect made it a bit more special. Highly recommend.

Heaven!
I spent a week in Bungalow one with two of my best friends and we absolutely loved it and were so sad to leave! The bungalow itself is clean, spacious, and well-equipped and its location offers privacy and freedom that you don't or won't necessarily get at the much more expensive resorts. We spent many hours snorkeling in the "backyard" ocean and saw a variety of fish, sea cucumbers, and even a few rays. We also spent many hours in the back patio listening to music, playing cards, reading, eating, and watching the boats go by and the sunset! When we did want or need to venture away from the bungalow, being able to easily and cheaply rent a car from Nir allowed us the feeedom to shop for groceries, go to restaurants, and explore the island. I highly recommend renting this bungalow if you want to have more space and freedom and spend significatly less than you would for an overwater bungalow at any of the local resorts!
