The Navy officers' club that occupies its own island in the middle of the lagoon.
The Clube Naval Piraquê is the sports headquarters of the Clube Naval, Brazil's naval officers' club, and it sits on the Ilha do Piraquê — one of only two islands in the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. Access is by a short bridge from Avenida Borges de Medeiros, on the lagoon's west shore between Lagoa and Jardim Botânico.
The island holds pools, ten tennis courts, courts for futsal and basketball, restaurants and party rooms, all ringed by water. For buyers, it matters two ways: it is a fixed green-and-white landmark in every west-shore lagoon view, and club access (member or guest) is a genuine neighborhood amenity for families on the Lagoa–Jardim Botânico border.
Address: Av. Borges de Medeiros 2364, Lagoa, Rio de Janeiro
The Clube Naval, founded in 1884, created its sports section in 1936 and was granted tenure of the island site in 1938. The club built the grounds up from a patch of land at the mouth of the Rio dos Macacos, and the sports department was formally established there in 1940. It has been the Navy club's lagoon-side home ever since, through successive rebuilds of the clubhouse and courts.
