Alcântara-Mar

The theme nights held at this internationally acclaimed club capture the wild party atmosphere Alcântara-Mar is famous for. But even on a "normal" night many regard this revered club as the only place to be seen on a Saturday night. The venue is enormous and decorated in pseudo Gothic décor — all dripping faux candles and crushed red velvet. Resident DJs are regularly joined by guest sound mixers with their own cult following. Heavy Techno and Trance whips up a dance frenzy that continues till dawn. The club draws a mixed crowd and while the door policy is fairly relaxed, if you dress like you're celebrating Carnival, so much the better.
