ABOUT US
At RIO, we craft a future for our clients.
One that reflects a curated lifestyle, while also adding up as an appreciating investment, which exceeds expectations time after time.
The journey so far has been about collaborating with global architects to put together a sublime vision for our homes.
We leave no stone unturned and bring to life spaces inspired by one singular and original intent – to provide a level of service that is peerless in every way be it design, craft and distinction.
Versatile architecture and design informed by culture, community, nature – this is a narrative emulated by many, yet delivered by RIO, it is inimitable.
We make landmarks not homes. The Spirit of RIO is intangible.
Nothing like anything you’ve ever experienced.

RUMAH HUTAN
Skylights bring daylight to these neoteric luxury villas with private pools that offer an energising arrival moment. It's what solitude looks like: simple and neutral with hues which characterise these eight quiet luxury interiors, each an ode to symphony of the lush outdoors and inviting living spaces.
CASA BRILHANTE
As suggestive as the name itself, ‘brilhante’ signifies brightness. Distinct from the transparency of Modernism or the starkness of tradition, it embraces a mystical Goan architectural philosophy, inviting visitors to explore its labyrinthine corridors, expansive arches and sunlit courtyards, ultimately revealing its secrets through the interplay of light and shadow.
BLACK FOREST
Offering lush commanding views of the forest and a spectacular hillside setting, Black Forest serves panoramic views of Siolim from a privileged and secluded position. Designed to make the most of the light and wonder of Goa, the seamless open-plan layout, floor-to-ceiling windows and verdant roof gardens are weave into the surroundings to enjoy the best of indoor/outdoor living.
RIO ESTILO
Designed for Bali’s idyllic climate with a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces, the Villas encompasses a number of freestanding pavilions opening onto magnificent expansive swimming pools.
RIO ROYALE
Set back from the shore with direct access to the beach and turquoise sea, Rio’s exclusive gated community, Rio Royale, features modern Mediterranean architecture. Styled with retro windows, terrazzo flooring, intimate bedrooms and large balconies with scenic views. Natural light floods in through large windows, with high ceilings and contemporary furnishings creating an ambient setting.
RIO ESTADO
Inspired by Indo-Portuguese architecture, these homes are tucked away on the gradual slopes of a quaint village in Ucassaim. They have been meticulously designed keeping your second home comforts in mind. The estate features 11 independent Portuguese villas with private pools and landscaped water bodies, encircled by large community spaces.
A CAPPELLA

These distinctive 4-bedroom villas have extended terraces and patios accompanied by private patches of green and private pools, offering a back-to-nature experience in supreme comfort and privacy.
