Finding an event and party space in Brasília on a budget, especially by the lake, can be challenging. Many larger clubs charge up to R$10,000.00 per night, plus additional costs for chairs, tables, staff, and more, making them unaffordable for most people. However, there is an affordable and beautifully located option.

Clube Almirante Alexandrino (CAALEX) primarily serves navy soldiers but also welcomes members of the army, air force, police force, and the DF national guard. It is located on the shores of Lake Paranoá in Asa Norte. Although it can be a bit hard to find since it is situated behind Churrascaria Nativas Grill Brasília Esplanada and not visible from the street, it offers a variety of social and recreational facilities.

These facilities, which can be viewed in photographs on their website, include a gym; four football fields (one with synthetic grass); two sports courts; a sand court for volleyball and footvolley; 11 barbecues; two playgrounds; an Olympic-size swimming pool with a water slide; a children's pool; a social hall; and a lakeside area with nautical facilities for sailing and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). There is also a bar/restaurant. While the club officially closes at 18:00 on weekends, it can be rented in the evenings, ensuring privacy for events and parties.

The Brasília Hash House Harriers selected the club for the Pan South America Hash in June 2024, renting several BBQ areas for their event. With 140 participants, the space proved ideal and could have easily accommodated up to 1,000 people. The location was praised by every participant as ideal and beautiful, making it a perfect choice for the event. Additionally, the club staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming.

In addition to the outdoor areas, there are several indoor venues popular for weddings and parties. The club’s manager, Fernando, is extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. He is dedicated to making your event successful and has many contacts with event specialists, such as caterers, music bands, and cultural groups, which he is happy to share.

If you're looking for an affordable event and party space, check out CAALEX and talk to Fernando. You won't regret it.
