OKIO

OKIO is a lounge-style nightclub in the 24 Central complex in Sandown, Sandton, which also holds Liv, Monarch and The Greenhouse. In Your Pocket's November 2024 article describes opulent decor, lavish lounges, a marble bar and custom chandeliers, and says access is tiered: guests can book a table or a public or private VIP suite with bottle service. It lists high-energy house, Afro house, Afro beats, R&B and hip-hop, and names the owner as Sergio Zurini. Bellucci Lounge next door serves cocktails, tapas and whiskies. Time Out's 2025 list calls it an upscale lounge with champagne service.

Opening hours differ by source. The November 2024 article gave Friday and Saturday from 19:00 to 04:00, while a June 2026 listing shows Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 21:00 to 04:00 with house, amapiano, R&B and hip-hop, and the latter hours are used here. The same article advises dressing "elegant and sexy". It also mentions that Taboo, described as Joburg's first luxury nightclub, had closed by then. Not for you if you want a low-cost techno night.
