Start your day with some self-care at C.Kamura, a salon that embodies the creativity and elegance of Celso Kamura, one of Brazil’s top beauty experts. The salon offers a wide range of services, including a hair spa with aromatherapy, music therapy, acupuncture, and massage, as well as the latest in makeup and skincare treatments.
When it comes to food, VillageMall has something for every taste. Ristorantino, led by chef Mauro Pisoni, serves up Italian dishes crafted with the Carioca crowd in mind. Fans of Iberian cuisine will love Adega Santiago for its tapas and paellas, while Giuseppe Mar focuses on fresh, daily catches. If you’re craving steak, Pobre Juan offers Argentine-style meats paired with stunning views of Lagoa de Marapendi.
Time to hit the shops! Wander through the mall’s three floors, packed with a mix of international and exclusive Brazilian stores. Shop luxury at Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, and Valentino. Or support homegrown talent with brands like NV, Carol Bassi, Ricardo Almeida, and Lenny. Bayard is your go-to for top-notch sportswear, while Luxe has you covered with niche fragrances. Need something for your home? Tool Box and Tania Bulhões have sophisticated decor items that make perfect gifts.
Recharge with a stop at Isabela Akkari, a health-conscious bakery. Yup, everything is gluten-free, lactose-free, and free of refined ingredients — yet still bursting with flavor. It’s the perfect cozy spot to refuel for the rest of your day.
Head to the third-floor deck, which opens up to Lagoa de Marapendi for a stunning sunset view. Every Saturday, there’s live jazz, and you’ll want to check the calendar for other outdoor events, like the Full Moon Festival or wine tastings.
In the mood for drinks? You’ve got plenty of options. Naga serves contemporary Japanese cuisine, while Heaven, run by chef Heaven Delhaye, adds a French twist to the mix—both perfect for sipping a drink and sharing some plates. For something more casual, head to Nolita, Brazil’s first Oven & Bar, for laid-back vibes and cocktails.
