After its big success around the world, Range Rover House (RRH) made its debut in India in May 2024 at a private villa in Alibaug, the leafy coastal town across the harbour from Mumbai that is better known for its sprawling mansions that are used as weekend hideaways by city millionaires and billionaires. Organised by JLR India, the invite-only RRH was essentially a day-long retreat for Range Rover clients and associates, where they could indulge themselves in a variety of sumptuous experiences that touched upon each of their five senses. All of this in the presence of some of JLR's top executives including Range Rover Managing Director Geraldine Ingham, JLR Chief Commercial Officer Lennard Hoornik, JLR India Managing Director Rajan Amba and for brief while at the press review on the first day, N Chandrasekharan, chairman of Tata Sons, the owners of JLR.
Starting with an hour-long luxury private yacht ride from Mumbai, followed by the drive to the RRH Villa in chauffeur-driven Range Rovers, the day at the House was divided into activities such as the Fragrance Lab in the form of a scent-making workshop; Tasting Vault for a Single Malt and Tequila appreciation sessions; a range of culinary experiences, followed by, for those interested, a personal tete-e-tete with the owner of one of India's leading cigar maker; Luxe Atelier for a walk-through on bespoke fashion and wardrobe building; and finally a Wellness Sanctuary to experience relaxation though of variety of sessions including sound healing, reflexology and massages. The experiences were conducted by some of the best-known specialists in their respective areas including Vinayak Singh and Swati Sharma of The Dram Club, Raahul Kapoor of Sibling Cigars, Sandeep and Sarah Gonsalves of SS Home, Priyanka Patel of Sound Healing India and others.
