Opening back in 1998, Brazil's Sirena has an impressive pedigree built on its successful formula of big name acts, a chi-chi crowd and unparalleled location. Set in the beautiful beach resort of Maresias, a seemingly unlikely place for such a long-standing and successful venue, most of the club's patrons make their weekend pilgrimage from nearby Sao Paulo.

Check the wall of fame in the club's VIP dressing room and you'll see why: Fatboy Slim, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Steve Aoki recently added to the signed pictures on the wall. The white leather VIP booths in the main room flank a giant dancefloor, where you're likely to see the night's biggest act thronged by hard beach bodies, but our highlight every time is the open-air terrace where DJs play well into the light as a frenzied crowd dances around real trees and clamber onto one another's shoulders.
