Awesome Activity Classes for Adults in Macau

life project yoga macau Activity Classes for Adults

Featured image photo credit: Life project

As an expat in Macau, one has to admit classes taught in English are few and far between over here. However, we dug up some interesting ones which are either taught in English, have translation provided, or don’t have a language barrier. So stay engaged and busy whilst you escape the heat this summer and pick a skill or two to learn in the process. 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

(See featured image above)

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.

v studio dance studios macau

Bollywood Dance 

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.

Opening hours: Daily, 11:00am–11:00pm

V Studio 19 Rua do Pátio da Concórdia, Fábrica Wang Kai 13B/F, +853 6393 2002, www.victorkumarart.com

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!

VR Zone Fishermans Wharf Inside Mario Karts Poster Macau Lifestyle Activity Classes for Adults

Virtual Reality Games

With more than five different “realities”, this caters mostly to adults rather than children. Enter a horror hospital and expect to scream and laugh at the same time, or check out how skiing in the Alps feels like! The one we liked best is the Super Mario Karts experience, which lets you dive right into the world of this globally known character and race against his friends to the finish line.

It can be played amongst friends and all of you will be in the same “reality”, so gather a bunch and head to Macau Fisherman’s Wharf to try out this innovative and original way to spend a fun afternoon.

How much: MOP $160–320 per person

Opening hours: Daily, 10:00am–10:00pm
