Nestled in the serene surroundings of Siolim in Goa, Oryza by Jaglax Homes is a luxurious gated community featuring five elegantly designed villas that redefine contemporary coastal living. Drawing inspiration from Australian coastal home designs, Oryza harmoniously blends tropical charm with modern sophistication to create an unparalleled living experience.
Oryza’s design ethos is rooted in minimalism, clean lines, and linear forms, creating striking facades that seamlessly integrate with the natural surroundings. The villas adopt an inward-looking ‘L’ shape, ensuring private views of lush gardens and serene pool areas. The use of large cantilevers, vertical louvres, louvered arches, and Georgian bar windows adds a distinctive character to each home.
Each villa spans three bedrooms and an attic across a ground + two-storey layout. The open-plan ground floor enhances connectivity between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, fostering an expansive and inviting ambiance. A standout feature of the living space is the sunken lounge, designed to offer an immersive experience by aligning residents at eye level with the pool and garden, further enhancing unobstructed outdoor views. Double-pitched roofs and expansive windows amplify the sense of spaciousness, bringing in an abundance of natural light and ventilation.
Oryza’s landscape design is an extension of its architectural philosophy, intertwining nature, structure, and interior aesthetics to create a serene sanctuary. Spanning a plot area of approximately 2,900 sqm, the community preserves nearly 60% as open space, encompassing lush gardens, pools, and thoughtfully designed parking areas.
The landscaping employs structured plantations and subtly curved elements to soften the overall design. Features such as niche seating in garden areas, outdoor showers with arch detailing, curved planter boxes at the edge of every pool, rounded pebbles, and strategically placed stepping stones harmonize with the broader architectural vision. These elements infuse the property with a sense of cohesion, tranquility, and understated elegance.
Oryza stands as a testament to refined living, offering a perfect blend of privacy, community, and architectural brilliance. By embracing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, the community offers an elevated lifestyle enriched by nature and contemporary design. For those seeking an exclusive retreat in Goa, Oryza is an embodiment of luxury, sophistication, and serene coastal charm.

As Mother's Day approaches, the focus shifts to celebrating the quiet strength, care, and everyday moments that define motherhood. This year, Candere, a lifestyle jewellery brand from Kalyan Jewellers, offers a curated selection designed to feel personal, wearable, and meaningful.
Moving beyond occasion-based gifting, the collection highlights jewellery that seamlessly fits into everyday life, pieces that reflect her individuality while adding understated elegance to daily moments. Each design balances simplicity with thoughtful detailing, making it both timeless and versatile.
The edit includes the Rylie Diamond and Fancy Gemstone Ring, a floral-inspired design that combines vibrant pink stones with delicate diamond accents, bringing a playful yet refined touch. For those who prefer minimalism, the Plain Glimmer Diamond V Ring offers clean lines and subtle sparkle, perfect for stacking or wearing solo.
Adding to the collection is the Classic Treand Diamond Cuff Bracelet, featuring twin motifs with blue stones and diamond detailing, designed to elevate both everyday and occasion wear. The Enchanting Floral Diamond and Fancy Gemstone Oval Bracelet introduces a softer, more playful aesthetic with multicoloured gemstones set against a sleek band.
For statement pieces, the Armida Diamond Earrings stand out with their layered, cascading form that catches light with movement, while the Giselle Diamond Dangle Earrings bring effortless elegance through a graceful drop design and refined brilliance.
With this Mother’s Day edit, Candere focuses on jewellery that feels natural rather than extravagant, pieces that become part of her daily story while holding emotional value. The collection reflects a shift towards gifting that is thoughtful, personal, and enduring, making each piece more than just an accessory.
On April 25, EL at JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar hosted an exclusive and intimate fashion showcase by designer Sounia Gohil, unveiling her latest collection in association with Volvo, presented by Cedamint by Vinay Singh.
Breaking away from the conventions of a traditional runway, the showcase embraced a more immersive and interactive format. Set against Mumbai’s skyline, EL offered a fluid, open environment where guests could experience the collection at their own pace. Models moved seamlessly through the space, allowing attendees to engage with the garments up close, creating a sense of intimacy rarely seen in conventional showcases.
The evening brought together a diverse mix of guests, from fashion insiders and tastemakers to patrons of luxury mobility and hospitality, reflecting a dynamic convergence of industries. The experience was complemented by a refined food and beverage selection, thoughtfully curated to enhance the evening without overshadowing the showcase.
More than a fashion presentation, the event highlighted a broader shift in how hospitality spaces are being reimagined. EL, known for its elevated dining and panoramic views, is steadily evolving into a multi-dimensional cultural venue that embraces fashion, design, music, and curated social experiences.
With this showcase, JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar strengthens its positioning as not just a hospitality destination but a platform for creative expression and community-led experiences in the city.
Commenting on the initiative, Sachin Mylavarapu, General Manager at JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, said, “At JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, we’re increasingly looking at how our spaces can go beyond traditional hospitality to become platforms for culture and creativity. Hosting this showcase at EL was a natural extension of that vision. We’re delighted to curate experiences that are refined, progressive, and engaging for our guests.”
Located close to Mumbai’s international and domestic airports, JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar offers 588 well-appointed rooms, multiple dining destinations, and expansive event spaces. Its venues, including Romano’s, JW Café, BarQat, and AUTM – JW Lounge & EL, reflect the city’s diverse culinary landscape. The property also features Spa by JW, offering holistic wellness experiences.
Part of Marriott International, the hotel aligns with a global portfolio of over 9,500 properties across 144 countries, continuing to bring world-class hospitality experiences to India
