Luxury brands are expanding their physical presence in Rio de Janeiro through new retail and wellness offerings. 

In September 2026, Hermès opened a new boutique at VillageMall in Barra da Tijuca, relocating from its previous Ipanema location. The new space features the brand’s 16 métiers and incorporates design elements inspired by the local tropical landscape.

Following this, Dior announced the launch of its first Latin American wellness space at the Copacabana Palace. Scheduled to open in November 2026, the Dior Spa will be part of a revitalized five-story Wellness Club. The facility includes six treatment rooms and specialized protocols developed in collaboration with dermatologist Maria Bussade to address local skin needs and tropical climates.
