We’ve also included fun, original activities for adults to join with friends, such as virtual reality competitions, or diving into Macau’s best public pools.

Yoga & Pilates

In addition to these suggestions, there are also several yoga and pilates’ lounges and classrooms around town where you can go just to try a class or sign up for a membership. Now with this useful ammunition, there is no excuse to stay indoors, so get out and enjoy Macau and start learning something new today! Check out our list of the best places to do yoga in Macau! We’ve also scoured the city for yet another great practice when it comes to posture and wellbeing: pilates. Find out more about where to do this activity by checking out our comprehensive list.

This place is owned by dance choreographer and yoga instructor, Viktor Kumar, an Indian connoisseur who is experienced in different Bollywood and yoga styles. His classes are generally full, so best to call ahead and check for availability beforehand. V Studio offers Bollywood, Fitness Dance, LatinJam, and BollyJam, besides some other activities.

Team Building

Finally, for something a little different–smallWORLD Experience offers a wide range of new and exciting activities, with a strong focus on corporate group activities. The company’s team-building events include food treasure hunting, fun games–which take place across Macau–plus Macanese cooking classes, wine tasting, karaoke, drumming, among others. They also offer indoor activities such as Dragon DIY and car racing.

These can also be done with a large group of friends–preferably 10 or more–or might be just what your team needs to boost your company’s morale! To do with your best pals, they recommend Wine & Gourmet Casino, the perfect activity to complement any event: a cocktail party, an after-dinner event, a gala dinner or a birthday party, you name it! Recreating the environment of a unique casino–with no money involved–they’ll delight guests by taking them on a sensory trip. This very different concept will bring together sensorial and tasting table games where wines, teas, cheeses, and beer play the main role. Another suggestion is their partnership with AJ Hackett Macau Tower which resulted in SkyDrumming: it’s the first of its kind in the world! Under the supervision of a guide, the group takes a walking tour around the outer rim of the tower and joins an exciting drumming session run by the enthusiastic drumming instructor. For more activities–like lip-synching–check out their website!
