Our Story
Several years have passed since our founder, Amos, tired and weary, set off for Rio and found a new sense of life.
The remarkable tolerance towards people from all over the world, the almost tangible joy of life, and the natural warmth of the Cariocas transformed Brazil into his second home.
At Rioca, we aspire to offer people what Amos found in Rio: a home among friends.

What sets us apart
Rioca in Rio
The entire Rioca family was together in Rio in 2022. We aim to bring the authentic Rio Spirit to Europe. And what better way to do that than to experience this feeling firsthand? That’s why we made the impossible possible and flew with over 200 colleagues to Rio de Janeiro.
