Enjoy Summer in Macau! 4 Recommended Spots to Visit in Summer

If you’re visiting Macau in the summer, spots where you can cool down are highly recommended. Summers in Macau can be quite hot, so why not enjoy yourself at natural beaches or huge resort pools? At beaches with beautiful views of the sea or entertainment-packed pools, you can forget about the summer heat and just have fun.

And although you might expect swimsuits and light clothing to be the norm in summer, there’s also “Ice World,” where you can bundle up and enjoy a world of ice—even in the middle of summer. This time, we’ll introduce 4 spots that are perfect to visit in Macau during the summer season.

1. Hac Sa Beach

Located in the southeast of Coloane Island, “Hac Sa Beach” is the largest beach in Macau. The name “Hac Sa” means “black sand,” referring to the original dark color of the sand, but new sand has been added for coastal preservation, so the beach is now much lighter in color.

The water quality is clean and clear. In summer, the area is full of people enjoying swimming and other beach activities. Hac Sa Beach is also one of the “Eight Scenic Spots of Macau,” making it a great place to relax and admire the beautiful scenery.

If you want to enjoy the sea at a leisurely pace during summer in Macau, the wide-open space of Hac Sa Beach is perfect. For those who prefer to enjoy nature rather than sightseeing in the city, Hac Sa Beach is a must-visit.

2. Cheoc Van Beach

If you want to visit a beach during your summer trip to Macau but prefer somewhere less crowded, “Cheoc Van Beach” is recommended. Located southwest of Hac Sa Beach, on the southern side of Coloane Island, it’s accessible by public bus from central Macau. Compared to Hac Sa Beach, it’s much less frequented, making it ideal for those who want to enjoy swimming without the crowds.

Nearby, the “Pousada de Coloane Beach Hotel” has a restaurant where you can enjoy a meal in a charming Portuguese-style atmosphere. If you’re looking to relax on a quiet sandy beach during summer, Cheoc Van Beach is a great choice.

3. Grand Resort Deck

If you’re visiting Macau in summer, you can’t miss the “Grand Resort Deck.” Located inside the massive “Galaxy Macau” integrated resort complex—which includes multiple hotels, casinos, and theaters—the Grand Resort Deck is a large-scale pool area packed with fun.

Within its 52,000-square-meter grounds, you’ll find the world’s longest lazy river, a 9-meter-high waterslide, the world’s largest rooftop wave pool, and a vast beach made with real white sand.

Guests staying at any of the Galaxy Macau hotels can enjoy the Grand Resort Deck free of charge. If you’d rather play in a pool than the sea during summer, consider staying at a Galaxy Macau hotel and making the most of the Grand Resort Deck.

4. Macau Ice World

In summer, a world of ice opens for a limited time in Macau! Held every year at The Venetian Macao, “Macau Ice World” lets you experience a frozen world at -8°C. Inside, you’ll find a stunning icy landscape and impressive ice sculptures. If the summer heat in Macau is getting to you, cooling off at Macau Ice World is a great option.

Of course, it’s extremely cold inside, so you’ll need to dress warmly before entering. In fact, there’s probably no other place in Macau where you can take commemorative photos wearing a coat in the middle of summer.

◎ Summary

While exploring the city’s World Heritage sites and enjoying its casinos is fun, during the hot summer months, spending time relaxing at Macau’s beaches is also a great way to enjoy your trip. Coloane Island, where the beaches are located, is a quiet and naturally beautiful place, perfect for a laid-back nature experience.

Make the most of your time in Macau by enjoying its beaches and pools, and create wonderful summer memories.
