10 Founder Couples

History

Since its birth, XClube always aimed to replicate the high quality standards that characterize the best liberal clubs in Europe and in the United States, but with a very personal touch, that may allow it to express and reflect the particularities of the culture and habits of the Portuguese people.

Connoisseurs of those realities, the ten founding couples set to work on it and, by 4th February 2006, their strong will to create a liberal club that could became the reference in its kind in Portugal came true: this was day XClube was born, in one of the most iconic and prestigious Lisbon neighbourhoods.

About a year after its opening, and to deal with the remarkable accession of tis many members, XClube suffers its first massive change. The space in which it was originally settled was expanded in more than three times, all areas were deeply refurbished and the decoration of the two main welcoming areas was totally redesigned.

Settled in a wide and multifunctional space, with several and distinct areas and environments, since then that XClube is not only a unique proposal in Portugal, but also one of the most renowned clubs of its kind in Europe. The proof lies, amongst other factors, in the several hundreds of members that visit it week after week; the compliments that it has been given by those who well know the national and international reality of this field; and the tributes from those that coming from abroad visit it… and revisit it!

“Settled in a wide and multifunctional space, XClube is not only a unique proposal in Portugal, but also one of the most renowned clubs of its kind in Europe”.

Alway betting in partner with the march of the time, and thanks to the efforts and commitment of its managers and of those who visit every week, XClube has been growing, evolving and improving continuously. In February 2013, a new management team took up its duties, consisting in five couples, all well known from the swingers’ community. With this new team, XClube’s registers a major renewal and upgrade: the disco and dancefloor are now at country’s top level in terms of area, sound and lighting; the lounge area is with no doubt the perfect place to socialize; the private area offers truly unique solutions.

Two years later, another massive change, once more for the better! XClube moves to an even more accessible, and at the same time more private and discreet, neighbourhood, just a few minutes away from Lisbon International Airport. The club premises suffer its most profound evolution ever: with an area of almost 1000 square meters, XClube is, since then, one of the biggest swing clubs in Europe, making even more noticeable the difference from all its Portuguese equivalents – in the dancefloor/disco, in the lounge area and, above all, in the private area.

With all this, nowadays, and has it always has been, XClube takes on place as a liberal club, open to all couples on the community that fulfil its admission rules, and obey to its operating rules, even though a guest list, made with great care and scrupulously observed, is always on place. So, it is here, in XClube, that a community that’s always growing, and currently reaches a highly valuable scale, reaches the perfect place to dance, take a drink, have a chat, find old friends and make new ones. Never forgetting what, since day one, has always been a landmark in XClube and for the community it is aimed for: its unforgettable theme parties. All contributing to do justice to the motto: XClube – The place to be… Since 2006
