See the Best of Macau

Across the peninsula, free-shuttles of Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau take you straight in the heart of Macau’s historic centre, discovering global attractions like Senado Square and the Ruins of St. Paul’s — a 17th-century Jesuit complex with a surviving façade that references the city’s Portuguese colonial heritage.

For a romantic escape without leaving the resort, visit Jardim Secreto, a tranquil rooftop oasis perched at level 3 offering visitors a verdant escape with panoramic city views. 

Featuring a European design — think decorative tiles, lush plants and intimate seating areas — couples can relax amidst a serene atmosphere of greens and soothing live music performance. This hidden gem — which many vacationers never happen upon — provides peace for those seeking a moment of reflection far from the city crowds.

Dining at Don Alfonso 1890

Set amidst lush glamour and luxurious Rosenthal x Versace tableware, a handcrafted terrazzo floor with rosette and flower motifs recalls the historic Versace Villa on Lake Como.
