Majesty Spa

The most concrete thing about Majesty shows up on the bill: the listed price is the settled price, with the service charge and the tourism tax counted inside it, so the number on the board is the number you pay — counted in is not the same as not charged. The selection format is known in the trade as 看風景 — therapists line up across the hall so you can look properly and decide in your own time, with none of the hurry, and that alone is why a lot of people pick it.

Theme rooms are the other draw: more than ten costume-led rooms to choose from, plus a KTV party room, which is rare — only two saunas in Macau have KTV at all. On decoration it is at the front of the field in Macau, gold and marble running from the lobby right through to the rooms. The kitchen has a reputation for taking care over what it sends out, with steak, fresh fruit and cold beer served without a cap.

It occupies the first floor of the Harbourview Hotel at Fisherman’s Wharf, opposite the Sands, minutes from the ferry terminal — close enough to arrange straight off the boat. Open 24 hours with therapists on from 14:00 to 06:00, and overnight stays are fine; the lobby recliner area is free, with paid private rest rooms available in peak season. If the budget is there and you want both the surroundings and a night’s stay, this is the safe pick. The listed price is the settled price, service charge and tourism tax counted in, and there is no minimum spend. Book through us for a free transfer and one free add-on service — Majesty gives one on a booking through this site, not the two the other houses give.
