Valriche by YOO

Marking their first venture into the Indian Ocean, YOO, the world’s largest non-hotel residential brand, has signed a landmark residential collaboration at the legendary Heritage Villas Valriche, bringing unique design philosophy to the island.

Valriche by YOO is an exclusive collection of just eleven branded private villas, representing the final chapter within this prestigious and established estate. Set within more than 2,500 hectares of protected parkland in the island’s unspoilt south-west, the project sets a new benchmark for refined tropical living in the Indian Ocean.

Designed in collaboration with YOO Studio, the residences express a refined architectural language that blends Mediterranean influence with the estate’s colonial heritage. Soft forms, natural textures and locally sourced materials are combined to create homes that feel inherently connected to their surroundings - conceived not as statements, but as places to be lived, felt and experienced.
The villas, offered in three, four and five bedroom configurations, sit on generous plots and feature landscaped gardens, private lap pools, expansive terraces and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Integrated into a low-density masterplan, each home offers privacy, security and long-term value within a discreetly managed and ready-to-live-in environment.
Ownership at Valriche by YOO provides access to an exceptional and already operation lifestyle offering, including two five-star beachfront resorts, the acclaimed Heritage Golf Club with its championship courses, the historic Château de Bel Ombre, a private beach club, nature reserve, spas and an extensive selection of dining and leisure experiences. Owners are also invited to join the Resident Members Club, unlocking exclusive services and preferential benefits across the estate.

This collaboration with YOO reflects the commitment to delivering something truly distinctive within Heritage Villas Valriche. These homes represent some of the final opportunities to invest in this exceptional estate, bringing a design philosophy that aligns perfectly with the lifestyle, integrity and authenticity of the place. Valriche by YOO unites the island’s remarkable natural beauty with its most distinguished estate, shaped by a
design philosophy that is timeless, grounded and intrinsically connected to place.
With limited availability and strong international demand for branded residences in secure, lifestyle-driven destinations, Valriche by YOO represents a rare opportunity to own a design-led private home within an established and prestigious residential domain.

YOO is the world’s largest non-hotel residential brand with 52 projects completed worldwide and 30+ under development. Founded in 1999 by international property entrepreneur John Hitchcox and the world’s most celebrated creator Philippe Starck, YOO is a global design brand who partner with developers and investors around the world to unlock value from their schemes through innovative design.
