Ia Orana! (Hello In Tahitian)
PLEASE READ OUR REVIEWS. WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS LONGER THAN ANYONE AT THE COMPLEX! Thanks for your interest in Brando's Over Water Bungalow, Marlon's Over Water Hideaway and our luxury Bungalow and The Black Pearl, our very special over water bungalows in beautiful Bora Bora; Three of five privately owned over water vacation rentals, in all of French Polynesia. These beautiful bungalows are all in the same complex. Marlon Brando's two Bungalows are world famous! NOW FULLY AIR CONDITIONED! ALL BUNGALOWS COME WITH FREE WIFI AND KAYAKS!!
Our condos are very spacious, luxurious and available for thousands of dollars less per night, than any one or two bedroom over water bungalows at the luxury resorts. The Four Seasons and The St. Regis would charge as much as $8,000.00 a night (Not including taxes, transfer fees, food, etc.). We are the best bargain by far for Over Water Bungalows anywhere on Bora Bora!

your dates. In which case I would refund you all or part of the second payment.
If you think you might have to cancel or in case of plane cancellation or weather, I highly suggest getting TRAVEL INSURANCE:
Travel-ex is a great company. Please contact Ron (Information below under FULL SERVICE TRAVEL).
Also, you will be sent a lease and release of liability form when I receive your
deposit. This will need to be signed and sent back to me with your final
payment.
Suggestion for planning your trip: From Bora Bora, there are day trips by
express ferries to the islands of Tahaa, Raiatea and Maupiti, giving you an
opportunity to use our bungalow as your home base for the enjoyment of a
multi island vacation. This approach will considerably reduce your travel cost
and wasted inter-island travel time, which are unavoidable when on a typical
island hopping vacation.
More information: Our bungalows, are three of sixteen privately owned homes
(11 on the hillside and 5 over water) that constitute the Bora Bora Bungalow
complex, located in Faanui, just 3 miles north of the town of Vaitape, on the
main island. The complex has its own small private beach. We are in a very
pretty area, facing a string of palm-covered motu (motu = islet in Tahitian),
just hundreds of yards away. In between, there is nothing but the calm and
mesmerizing turquoise waters of the lagoon. For detailed location information,
please click on the location button.
From the Bora Bora airport, also located on a motu, you board the Air Tahiti
catamaran shuttle (no charge) that takes you to the town of Vaitape. Our
manager Nir will meet you with the keys and information. He will also have your
rental car should you decide to rent from him. Please see below under CAR RENTAL.
You will then load up on groceries at Chin Lee's Market and take the short drive to Faanui
and our bungalow complex. Bora Bora only has one road. It circles the island
(19 miles around) and follows the shoreline, providing almost uninterrupted views of the
lagoon.
The closest grocery store is located only 1.5 miles from the bungalows. And be sure to visit the many
wonderful restaurants you will find along the way. Aloe Café (For breakfast and lunch) Matira Snack (Great Mahi burgers!) Mai Kai (Romance and great food), Sushi at the Matira restaurant, Pizza at Manuia,
great French food at The Bora Bora Yacht Club and Chinese dine in or take-out at Panda D'Or.
Also, don't forget! Be sure to check out World Famous Bloody Mary’s Restaurant at http://www.bloodymarys.com/ (Say hi Nina)... And... One of our favorites is Lucky House!
All of these can be found on Bora Bora's circular island road.
I highly recommend renting a car, giving you the opportunity to get groceries on arrival,
tour the island any time you want, have dinners out (Taxis are expensive and unreliable)
visit the many beaches, boutiques, hiking spots, etc. etc..
ACTIVITIES: For an unforgettable traditional Polynesian experience and discovery of
Bora Bora, we highly recommend that you contact our very special friend
and guide Patrick. Check out his web site :http://www.maohinui.net/
Also, don't forget to scuba Diving. BORA DIVE CENTER AND TOP DIVE will even pick you up at your bungalow in a boat! Please tell them we sent you.
Try the jet ski tour from MIKI MIKI JET SKI TOURS (Please say hi to Carl or Maeva) kite surfing, or THE BORA BORA TUPUNA JEEP SAFARI, is fantastic! Tell them we sent you and you will get a discount.
We can also arrange a PRIVATE MASSAGE in your bungalow or visit BORA BORA NAILS & SPA and our good friend Yvette in town, next to The Aloe Cafe, for facials, pedicures, manicures and massage.
Our manager can make your reservations.
BLACK PEARLS: For the best quality and prices on the island, please visit THE FARM and ask for our good friends Tea. They will give you a great deal. Please tell them we sent you. www.borapearl.com
