It is the warmth of the sun rays on your skin, the droplets of rain in your palms, the undulations of the lagoon carrying your being, Polynesian chants vibrating in your ear, sending shivers up your spine. This is the Mana.
It is said that Tetiaroa is a sacred place where the presence of Mana can be deeply felt, through the motion of the wind, the lushness of the land and the immensity of the ocean.
It is said that you’ll feel this embrace through the warmth and enveloping aura of the Mā’ohi people. Deeply rooted in their culture, connected to the elements and their ancestors, sharing their soul with every visiting bird, genuinely and affectionately. Tetiaroa reveals itself to you, dear voyager.
For 10th anniversary of The Brando, we'd like to pay tribute to our motherland, and invite you to embark on an immersive journey in the pursuit of Mana.
O ’oe te manu hiri
O ’oe te manu tini
O ’oe tei rere mai te ra’i ātea
Tei fano mai nā te moana ātea
Horu horu nei tō ā’au
i te huru o te mā’ohi teie nei
’Āfa’i ia ’oe e te manu tini
You are the traveling bird
You are the multiple birds
You are the one who flies from the limitless sky
Across the vast ocean
Your heart here is deeply touched
By the soul of the mā'ohi
That you'll bring back with you
- Patu Mamatui
