Curated luxury in lush green surroundings at this Range Rover House
By Retail4Growth Bureau | May 27, 2024
India’s first Range Rover House located at Alibaug redefines customer experience with its focus on crafted exclusivity, while showcasing locally manufactured Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
Range Rover, the British luxury brand from JLR, takes customer experience a notch above with its Range Rover House, offering its clientele a carefully curated, invitation-only, nautical experience. Since 2022, over 40 Range Rover Houses have run across over 20 countries. The Range Rover House has now opened its doors for the first time in India, at Alibaug near Mumbai.
India is the first country outside the UK to manufacture the iconic Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, specially built for a local clientele. The locally manufactured Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will make their debut at the new Range Rover House in Alibaug, which brings alive the brand’s DNA and design leadership.
Speaking about it, Professor Gerry McGovern OBE, Chief Creative Officer, JLR, who is the brain behind the design of the Range Rover House, said, “Creativity is best expressed in an enriching, immersive space. Range Rover House is a literal embodiment of Range Rover - an opportunity for our clients to explore our modern luxury vision, transcending the traditional exchange within a showroom. Our ambition is to ignite our clients' passions, building emotional connections via unique, intimate and memorable experiences. We are taking Range Rover House to India for the first time, where clients will be able to immerse themselves in our story in a space which combines breathtaking modernity and refinement with local flair."
According to the company, the overall experience at the Range Rover House is aimed at enabling clients to embark on a bespoke journey, wherein each touchpoint – from their journey to the venue on a private luxury yacht to their experiences at Range Rover House itself – will immerse them in the essence of modern luxury while indulging their five senses.
Towards the above, the Range Rover House has many special features.

And that’s not all. A Wellness Sanctuary, featuring sound and crystal healing sessions, the Tasting Vault, offering an artisanal experience in fine spirits, and the leading restaurant Masque with its first-of-its-kind tasting menu, complete the whole experience.
Essentially, the Range Rover House seeks to embody the brand’s design philosophy, while reflecting local and culture.
