Island Nature / Park

The small island of Coloane combines Portuguese architectural heritage with Taoist temples and simple fishing lodges. For centuries, the island was a sea salt farm for China; it became a base for pirates after the arrival of the Portuguese. The colorful village centers on the main square, paved in black, white, and yellow cobblestones. Hike one of the 11 trails of varying difficulty, leading through lush greenery and past barbecue pits and reservoirs of blue water, or head down to the waterfront to admire the view of the mainland. By using our Macau vacation trip planner, you can arrange your visit to Coloane and other attractions in Macau.

Where to stay in Macau

Cotai Strip in Macau offers luxury hotels, with famous names providing rooms looking out over the harbor and down into the historical center. Establishments in this area also feature onsite entertainment options and Vegas-style casinos. Look for more affordable options north of Nam Van Lake, where chain and boutique hotels provide rooms with views of the city, the harbor, and across to China proper. Head farther north for lower rates offered by hostels and apartment rentals.
