Tetiaroa

Tetiaroa, one of the Society Islands, is an atoll located 72 km due north of Papeete, Tahiti. The geographic coordinates are 17 degrees, 00 minutes south latitude; 149 degrees, 33 minutes west longitude. Tetiaroa has one inhabitant: Marlon Brando's son Teihotu. In 1789, William Bligh and some of his crew became the first Europeans to visit the island, doing so after the mutiny on the Bounty. In 1904, the royal Pomare family of Tahiti gave the island to dentist Johnston Walter Williams. As a private island it passed through the hands of other owners until 1965, when Marlon Brando, after filming Mutiny on the Bounty, leased it from its current owner for 99 years. In his deed Brando, who died in 2004, granted his friend Michael Jackson the lifelong use of 2000 m (a half-acre) on the islet of Onetahi, in the west of Tetiaroa. A hotel consisting of 30 deluxe villas is due to open in 2008.
