Johannesburg has a new address for luxury events — and it’s already redefining the city’s social scene. LUXX Venue, located in the heart of Sandton, officially opened its doors last week with an unforgettable launch that shimmered with high-end glamour, impeccable design, and a promise of unparalleled experiences.
“We’ve become Johannesburg’s best-kept secret — not because we’re hiding, but because we are whispered about.” — Melissa Malebana, Event Coordinator at LUXX.
Born from the creative vision of the Cavaleros Group, LUXX is not just another venue; it’s a destination. Every corner, every finish, and every light beam has been designed to evoke emotion — a true celebration of connection, creativity, and elevated living. it offers versatility and beauty in equal measure — the kind of space where a boardroom meeting can transition seamlessly into a rooftop celebration.
A signature retractable roof transforms the venue from a cocoon of indoor elegance to an open-air celebration under the stars, offering guests the rare experience of Johannesburg’s skyline at its most magical. It’s architectural theatre — and a statement of innovation that sets LUXX apart.
Inside, two exclusive VIP lounges provide a sanctuary of refined ambience and discretion. Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary and feel like royalty within the confines of LUXX’s VIP areas.
Furthermore, the LUXX Chef’s Kitchen caters to gourmet experiences and private dining with a flair for culinary excellence. Whether you want finger foods that float around the room, a gourmet buffet that never ends, or a sit-down, fine dining meal, their chefs will look after every detail.
And then, there’s the LUXX View Bar — the crown jewel of the venue. Overlooking Sandton’s glittering skyline, this sleek, high-design bar is available for private hire, perfect for sipping signature cocktails as the city glows below.
From luxury brand activations and corporate events to high-profile soirées and private celebrations, LUXX is designed to adapt — seamlessly. The venue’s modular layout, immersive lighting, and cutting-edge sound system create a blank canvas for every vision.
“LUXX was created as a canvas for visionaries, tastemakers, and experience-seekers,” says Alexi Cavaleros, CEO of the Cavaleros Group. “Every detail — from lighting to layout, from sound to service — is curated to make guests feel something, and more importantly, to make them remember.”
This intentional design philosophy is what makes LUXX more than a venue — it’s an experience.
At Hello Lifestyle, we’re all about venues that transform occasions into moments — and LUXX does just that. Whether you’re hosting a high-level business event, an intimate dinner, or a lavish celebration, this new Sandton gem offers:
Architectural innovation — a retractable roof that transitions from indoors to open sky in seconds.
A world-class view — the LUXX View Bar delivers skyline elegance at every sunset.
Exceptional dining — with the LUXX Chef’s Kitchen offering immersive gourmet experiences.

Sunlight is essential for life, but the ultraviolet (UV) radiation it emits can silently damage our skin every day — even when it’s cloudy or you’re indoors. Incorporating sunscreen into your morning routine is not just about preventing a summer sunburn — it’s a crucial health habit that protects against long-term sun damage, premature aging, and serious illnesses like skin cancer. Luckily, Skin Functional has an entire skincare range dedicated to sunscreen so it can become part of our daily routines without extra worry or fuss.
