In the early 2000’s, the holiday home market in Goa was only just starting to find its feet. Armed with opportunity and the aim of introducing an aspirational lifestyle to Goa, enriched by the very best in architecture and design, Riviera was founded by brothers, Agnelo and Francisco De Braganca.

Riviera launched “The Arpora Village”, a vibrant lakeside community comprising 14 villas and 16 apartments. Our initial homes, a collection of row villas and apartments, served as a place for Europeans seeking respite from harsh winters to call home.
In paying homage to the states’ rich colonial heritage, the façade of each villa featured the unique ‘Ajulejos’, a form of Portuguese painted ceramic tilework, which subsequently went on to become the hallmark of a large number of Riviera homes.

The Group continued to expand, and in 2007 forayed into hospitality with the launch of its maiden 5-star hotel “Riviera De Goa”.

We partnered with the Hilton Group of Hotels to bring to you “Double Tree by the Hilton”, Goa’s very first Hilton.

Over a decade later, having meticulously crafted more than 100 exceptional homes, all of which were sold off-plan with a record 100% on-time delivery, Riviera became renowned for the uncompromising quality of its homes, unflinching ethics, and commitment to sustainable development.
A testament to Riviera’s quality and commitment to build lasting relationships is apparent in the fact that by 2015 over 65% of our home-owners were repeat buyers.

In keeping with our commitment to sustainable luxury and conscious living, we introduced “MansionHaus”, a 19th century former private residence meticulously restored into a Hotel & Private Members Club. Bold and exciting, it encapsulates a heady mix of classical references and contemporary design.

Discover the charming village of Anjuna, famed for its mesmerising beaches, and restaurants set around rustic cliffs.
Anjuna is an ever-evolving enclave of artists and creative professionals in a neighbourhood steeped in historic colonial influences. Quaint cafés frame streets lined with local galleries and inventive eateries. Local artisanal bakeries are welcoming neighbours, with ethically sourced foods and baked goods made fresh daily.
Attracting those who seek a unique epicurean experience, the inspiring choice of bars and restaurants cater for every palate.
If culture, cuisine and the coast is what you wish for, there’s no place in India quite like it.

With historic thoroughfares, colonial homes, and famed 16th century churches, the village of Siolim has a wealth of character and charm that makes it a fitting microcosm for Goa itself.
Amidst the delightful architecture, Siolim has recently transitioned into a vibrant cultural scene, with diverse culinary influences, sea-food markets, local cafés and eateries.
This vibrant village is cocooned between the very chic Assagao to the south and the Chapora river to the North and West. From here, you have the luxury of a quick escape to the relatively unspoilt North Goa beaches of Morjim, Mandrem and Arambol.
Coveted for its quiet, green, and convenient location, Siolim is simply an outstanding place to live.

Historically renowned for its vast salt pans and grand churches, the vibrant village of Arpora is situated right in the heart of North Goa’s coastal belt. Flanked on either side by the famed Baga and Anjuna beaches, its envious location has transformed this once sleepy village into one of the most coveted neighbourhoods in Goa.
From here you are ideally placed to explore the golden beaches to its West, and the neighbouring villages of Assagao and Siolim to its North.
Quaint streets give way to coffee shops, local eateries and markets. Savour the ease of walking to a variety of nightlife offerings, from local bars established generations ago, to new age music venues.

Still retaining its bucolic-charm, Revora is ideal for those looking to escape the frenetic pace of the city and experience the undistilled Goan way of life. In this untouched village, birdsong is omnipresent, the foliage is dense, tranquil lakes and tropical vines extend visual relief.
Set along the banks of the Chapora river, Revora remains a quiet village known for its 17th century churches, paddy cultivation and fisheries along its two surrounding lakes. From gentle jogs along the trim trail, to picnics on the village green, the bountiful outdoor offerings give you the freedom to choose how to spend your leisure time.

Retaining its wonderfully rural environment, the village of Salvador do Mundo (which translates into Saviour of the World) is set just below the city of Porvorim.
Less than 10 minutes away from the capital city of Panaji and the popular residential towns of Porvorim and Mapuca, and yet a whole world away in terms of tempo, Salvador do Mundo offers a wonderful mix of the idyllic countryside and convenient access to everything you need for day-to-day life.
If you’re looking for Goa’s bustling beaches, lounges and restaurants, North Goa’s coastal belt is only a short drive away. If you wish to dial-in down a little, head into the spectacular village countryside for a leisurely stroll.
