There is a new name lighting up Sandton’s skyline. LUXX has officially opened its doors, and with it, a new benchmark for luxury events in Johannesburg has arrived. Tucked into the third floor of the sleek new LXX Sandhurst development on Rivonia Road, LUXX is everything its name suggests: refined, glamorous, and utterly unforgettable.
The launch event, held last week Thursday, drew a guest list as dazzling as the space itself. Entrepreneurs, tastemakers, and the city’s style set gathered to witness the grand reveal of what many are calling Sandton’s next great venue. From the first pour of champagne to the final saxophone note, it was an evening that perfectly captured the spirit of modern Johannesburg.
A New Kind of Luxury in Sandton
LUXX is the brainchild of The Cavaleros Group, a family name that has defined South African property excellence for nearly a century. The group’s latest venture, LXX Sandhurst, opened to much acclaim in 2024, quickly becoming a lifestyle destination where boutique retail, fine dining, and next-level leisure converge. Now, with LUXX anchoring its third floor, the development has added something special to its mix – a venue that reimagines what a high-end event experience can be.
Walking into LUXX feels like stepping into another world. The foyer is all marble and mirrored finishes, bathed in a glow of ambient light that dances across the glass and steel surfaces. Guests are welcomed with a chilled flute of champagne before being drawn toward the LUXX View Bar, a sculptural masterpiece that curves outward to reveal views of the Sandton skyline. It is the kind of bar that seems to hold its own gravity, a place where conversation and connection happen naturally, framed by the glittering city lights below.
Where Design Meets Experience
Every element of LUXX has been designed with precision and purpose. Along the left-hand side of the corridor that links the venue to its bar lies the LUXX Chef’s Kitchen, a state-of-the-art culinary theatre where guests can catch glimpses of chefs in action. The space hums with quiet intensity as aromas drift into the air, turning the kitchen into part of the entertainment.
At the height of the launch, a subtle announcement invited guests back to the foyer. A thick curtain dropped to reveal the main events space, and the collective gasp that followed said it all. A grand piano gleamed beneath the lights while a saxophonist filled the air with smooth jazz. Plush seating, rich textures, and glimmering accents stretched across a room designed to impress. Behind the scenes, a private dressing suite and two intimate VIP lounges promise privacy and comfort for those seeking exclusivity.
The most striking feature of all, however, is the retractable roof. With the press of a button, the ceiling opens to reveal the night sky, transforming the mood from elegant intimacy to open-air celebration in an instant. Few venues in Johannesburg can match the sheer drama and adaptability of this design.
A Venue that Becomes the Moment
What sets LUXX apart is how it balances extravagance with versatility. It is a space that can evolve – a canvas for creative minds and meticulous hosts alike. Corporate galas, private soirées, brand launches, or intimate dinners can all find their rhythm here.
The idea is simple but powerful: LUXX is not just a venue. It is an atmosphere, a feeling, an experience that lingers long after the music stops. It is a blank slate, if the slate were made of marble and your chalk were gold leaf. Whatever your vision, LUXX gives you the perfect stage to bring it to life.
Sandton Central: The Beating Heart of World-Class Living
The arrival of LUXX feels right at home in Sandton Central – a district that has long been the beating heart of Africa’s economic and cultural pulse. With its skyline of glass towers, luxury hotels, green parks, and Michelin-level dining, Sandton stands shoulder to shoulder with the world’s great urban centres. It is where global business meets local energy, where art and innovation thrive side by side, and where every corner reveals another reason Johannesburg is called the city of gold.
The Jewel in the LXX Sandhurst Crown
LXX Sandhurst, located at 70 Rivonia Road, has already established itself as one of Sandton’s premier addresses. With tenants like Tashas, Cowfish and Baglios Gelato, the development offers an ecosystem of style, convenience, and luxury living. The addition of LUXX elevates it further, completing a vision of modern urban sophistication that feels distinctly world-class.
The Cavaleros Group has turned what was once a corporate space into a vibrant lifestyle destination. With thoughtful architecture, open-air piazzas, and artful interiors, LXX Sandhurst brings together the best of design, comfort, and culture. LUXX is its crowning glory – the moment where the building’s elegance meets the city’s creative pulse.
The Start of Something Iconic
As the night came to an end and the city lights flickered beyond the terrace, one thing was clear: LUXX has set a new standard for events in Sandton Central. With its flawless design, exceptional service, and unmistakable sense of occasion, it is poised to become the district’s go-to destination for everything from private celebrations to high-profile launches. A new chapter of Sandton sophistication has begun, and LUXX is leading the way.
