Velvet Paraguay is sumptuous. Part luxurious lounge bar, part bass-heavy rave cave, Velvet’s main dancefloor features storey high HD screens, pulsating smoke machines and oscillating lasers, proving the people of Paraguay don’t do their partying by halves!

Local DJ hero Gian Varela is a regular on the Velvet decks, plus international acts like Australian DJ and vocalist, Kate Elsworth, Canadian duo DVBBS, and the UK’s own Calvin Harris. Velvet’s bar area is more of a laid-back affair — quilted couches and downward lit concaves allow for a welcome respite from the dancefloor — all watched over by an enormous V that hangs, glittering, above the bar.
