The Obamas are making the most of their vacation time. Since leaving the White House in January, they have been hitting some of the most exotic destinations imaginable.

After spending a few days in Palm Springs, Barack and Michelle Obama kicked off their tropical tour with a visit to entrepreneur Richard Branson's private Necker Island.

The next stop was The Brando, a luxury island resort on the atoll of Tetiaroa in French Polynesia. The resort is so exclusive, it can only be reached by boat or by two-engined Air Tetiaroa planes, according to People magazine. The former president has been there since March 15, while Michelle only joined her husband last week. 

Take a look at the incredible places they have visited so far. 

After eight years in office, the Obamas headed off for a well-deserved break in January.

Obama has been enjoying activities since he's been away. On his blog, Branson shared photos of the former US president kitesurfing off nearby Moskito Island.

The Brando is named after the late Marlon Brando, who bought the island in 1967.

It was then transformed into a luxury resort in 2014.

The resort has 35 villas on a white-sand beach. A one-bedroom villa costs north of $2,500 per night in the low season and more than $3,800 in the high season.

The villas have between one and three bedrooms; each has its own plunge pool.

Activities are a big part of the Polynesian experience, and the Obamas have been taking advantage of this. Local news station TNTV published photos of Michelle Obama paddle boarding Sunday, after she joined her husband in French Polynesia.

Besides enjoying the water activities, the former president is rumored to have been working on his memoirs during their stay at The Brando, according to the Telegraph.
