Hyper Local – By Invitation Only

What happens in Rio
stays in Rio!

Built for visitors looking to meet locals who simply want to have fun. Some you’ll meet for a drink, others you’ll book for a massage.

You’re here for a handful of days, and Rio is a different city when you have someone to show you around.

After all, isn’t everything short‑term until it isn’t?

By invitation only

If you’re here,
we found you.

Rio Now is an invitation only community of the people we would choose to meet ourselves. Found by hand, through local friends, referrals, beach circles, and the rooms worth being in.

Everyone here is invited by us. Including you.

Who’s behind this

Not a corporation.
We drink here too.

Rio Now is run by friends who live in Rio, not by a platform in Silicon Valley. We’re not big tech and we’re not building a file on you — no ad trackers, nothing sold, nothing shared.

There’s no app to download. Rio Now lives in your browser on purpose — no icon on your home screen, no permissions to hand over, and nothing reaches you unless you asked it to.

When your trip ends, delete your profile and it vanishes when you do.

The door

The night is
already warm.

What happens in Rio stays in Rio. Enjoy the Carioca lifestyle while you are here.
