The Excellent Sauna: a midday-to-late Macau sauna at Grand Emperor

The Excellent Sauna is in the main building of the Grand Emperor Hotel, in the old centre of the Macau Peninsula. It keeps different hours from most of its rivals: doors and therapists both start at 12:00 and finish at 04:00. That makes it the earliest massage start on our list and a good fit for a lunchtime or afternoon visit, but it is not a place to spend the night.

It is a smaller, calmer venue than the big 24-hour houses. Massage tiers are named by colour, from green up to black, with Japanese and Korean tiers at the top. Listed prices already include the 5% service charge and 5% tourism tax. The venue has also added Japanese-theme scenario rooms: a DJ room, a cosplay room, an office, a cinema and a hospital room. Prices run from MOP 1,299 to MOP 5,588.

Rooms and facilities

The bathing side has a pool hall, showers, a changing room and a vanity area. Afterwards you move to the rest area or the dining area, where steak, seafood, soups, fried rice and noodles are served free with soft drinks, coffee and tea. There are private lounge rooms too, for guests who would rather not sit in the open lounge.

The scenario rooms are the newest part of the venue: a DJ room, a cosplay room, an office, a cinema and a hospital room, alongside an ambulance-themed room and regular suites. They work as an optional upgrade. Whether a room fee applies on the night is something we check for you, as it is not printed on the current board.

The Excellent Sauna prices

The spa fee of MOP 1,299 is what you pay if you choose no massage, and it is the minimum spend. The first massage item is a 90-minute health massage. Soft-style massage is sold in 60-minute sessions by colour: green, white, silver and purple in the lower band, yellow, gold and black in the upper band, then the Japanese / Korean series at MOP 5,588.
