Green Valley (club)

Green Valley is a nightclub in Camboriú, Brazil. It was founded in 2007 as a large tent-based party on a jungle-based airfield, but has since grown into "a festival-sized jungle club", and is known for its incorporation of the Brazilian rainforest into its establishment.[1]

In 2012 it first made the top three nightclubs in the world as ranked by DJ Mag, coming it at number three.[2] Starting in 2013, it has since been named the #1 nightclub in the world by the magazine[3] five times, including in 2020 - the second most of any nightclub in the magazine ranking's history.[4] The years in which it was ranked number one include 2013, 2015, 2018, 2019,[5] and the aforementioned 2020, when it was named to the Top 3 clubs in the world for the tenth consecutive year.

In June 2020,[6] the club was partially destroyed by the 2020 "bomb" cyclone.[4] Following the disaster, management of the club stated they were uncertain if the nightclub would return due to the extent of the damages.[7]
