Tucked away at the end of Resorts World’s pristine, sun-filled retail corridor sits the entrance to party juggernauts Zouk Nightclub and Ayu Dayclub. While the nightclub pulls in big-name DJs for its roster including RL Grime, Duke Dumont and special performances by huge names in hip-hop like Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne, the daylife counterpart keeps peeps satisfied with good times when the sun is up.
But new this season to Ayu Dayclub is its foray into keeping the daytime party going into the night with its Ayu Afters parties every Saturday. This new late-day activity begins at 2 p.m. and transitions seamlessly from day to night with DJ sets and an elevated poolside experience.
Enveloping the guests in island-getaway vibes, Ayu strikes the perfect balance of wild, festival-like fun and relaxing in the lap of luxury, inspired by the islands of Southeast Asia and Mexico’s Tulum. Towering palm trees and thatched-roofed cabanas, bungalows and daybeds are spread across the lush landscape.
To get an overview of the whole pool club, the second-story cabana-filled space offers some of the best views of the DJ sets, too. Multiple-sized pools allow for both the fun party vibes as well as corners of cool waters to just chill. For those that want to splurge, there are two huge living-room-type bungalows, situated arm’s length from the main stage and near dipping pools.
And that stage! Set up with the best in audio-visual stimulation, the booming bass and giant confetti shooters take each DJ performance to festival-like proportions. So far this season, Ayu Afters has welcomed electronic music DJs like Ownboss, best known for his megahit “Move Your Body,” and the U.K.-based DJ duo Snakehips, whose music is a dope combination of electronic music mixed with R&B and hip-hop. The musical lineup at Ayu Afters is made to get party people chilling in the cool waters when the sun is high as the sounds begin to transition into dancefloor bangers as the sun sets.
Check zoukgouplv.com weekly, as DJs will be announced for Ayu Afters as the season gets into full swing. While most dayclubs close their doors as the sun begins to set, that’s the time that Ayu Afters really amps the party up.
