Pippa’s private island love shack

Honeymoon hideaway once owned by Marlon Brando... all for a bargain £3,000 a night (well it IS low season!)

ONCE owned by Marlon Brando, it is the ultimate honeymoon hideaway: a tiny speck in the middle of the Pacific.

Informed sources have told The Mail on Sunday that Pippa Middleton and James Matthews will arrive tomorrow at Tetiaroa, a two-and-a-half square mile necklace of coral islets encircling a crystal-clear lagoon.

After being serenaded by Polynesians wearing flower garlands, the newlyweds – who are due to stay a week – might well find themselves bumping into another of the resort’s famous guests.

Barack Obama reportedly arrived a few weeks ago to begin his White House memoirs.

It was while filming Mutiny On The Bounty in 1962 that Brando was bewitched by the atoll, 30 miles north of Tahiti. He bought it for a mere £15,000 four years later with his French Polynesian wife, Tarita.

Following his death in 2004, it was turned into The Brando, a luxurious eco-resort costing from £3,000 a night.

Its 35 thatched villas each have an outdoor bath, an infinity pool and a rocking chair for two, with seawater air-conditioning, solar electricity and generators running on coconut oil.
