Summary
Nukutepipi is a private atoll in French Polynesia's Tuamotus, owned by Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté and reportedly developed for around US$100M. It rents only as a full-atoll buyout for up to about fifty guests across sixteen villas and bungalows, with roughly a hundred staff.
Publicly reported rates run from about €900,000 to US$1.1M per week.
Land & Waterfront
White-sand beaches, a lagoon and primary forest with a natural bird sanctuary, on an atoll some 2.7 km long. The nearest atoll is more than twenty kilometres away — the seclusion is close to absolute.
Access & Utilities
Access is by private charter from Tahiti to the atoll's own airstrip, about two hours out. Accommodation spans thirteen beach bungalows, two junior villas and a large master residence, with a restaurant, beach bar, spa, observatory and recording studio, and Starlink connectivity.
Ownership & Use
A rental rather than a sale — the largest and most elaborate whole-atoll buyout we track, suited to a big family gathering or a private event that wants an entire atoll to itself.

From above: 2010 vs today
Nukutepipi is a small Tuamotu atoll where the interesting overhead story is how a compact resort was threaded onto a single motu while most of the ring stayed forested. Imagery review would look for the master villa and bungalow line, a raised observation platform, and any solar arrays or water-catchment surfaces. Around a low coral atoll, the features most worth tracking are storm overwash scars, shifts in the reef-flat margin, and the pass or channel colour into the lagoon.
