Is MOP 1,199 a Ticket? A Macau Sauna Package Night
One question reaches the front desk at Number Nine Spa, and this site’s inbox, more often than any other: the menu lists an entry minimum of MOP 1,199 — is that the price of a ticket? Here is the full answer, once and for all.
It is not a ticket. Macau sauna menus follow their own conventions, and there is no buy-a-ticket-first system here. The 1,199 line is one specific item called pure sauna: change, enter, use the bath area and lounges, priced at MOP 1,199 as of September 2026 with a stay of up to 18 hours. The option exists, but it is not what the house is known for. The massage packages are — and most guests go through an entire night without that number ever appearing.
The reason is simple. On the September 2026 menu, every massage is priced with entry already included: choose a service, and its own figure is the whole bill before the service charge. Nothing stacks on top of 1,199.
Book through this site and the arithmetic gets simpler still: the entrance fee is waived, two complimentary add-on services of your choice (ear cleaning, foot work and shoulder work among them) come with the booking, and a free private-car transfer covers anywhere in Macau — a day’s notice keeps the schedule comfortable. Tell us the date, your hotel and roughly what you have in mind, and we plan the night: the car, the timing, the service.
The four bands most guests choose from
Therapists are on duty from 15:00 to 06:00 daily, and the house itself never closes. The September 2026 menu divides the massages into four bands:
| Tier | Band (MOP) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Shanghai-style massage | 2,299 | Entry tier, 90 minutes |
| Health & Recovery series | 2,799 – 3,599 | Most popular, widest choice |
| Aromatic oil & full-body Zen | 4,598 – 6,599 | Four oil courses with Zen SPA and Asian full-body |
| Second-hour add-on | 999 – 3,999 | Extends the course already booked, price varies by course |
Every price in the table includes entry, and all services carry a 10% service charge on the amount spent. Choosing is uncomplicated: fix a band by budget first, then pick within it. Itemised services and two-person rates are on the price list, or simply ask when you book.
What a package night at Number Nine looks like
Number Nine Spa sits inside the Royal Dragon Hotel in central Macau. It opened in April 2026, the earliest of that year’s new houses, and its real appeal is not the menu — it is the hours either side of the massage.
The lobby holds a fashion-show stage with an LED screen, so there is something to watch from your seat after dinner. For a different mood entirely, the themed ambience rooms swap the lighting and furnishings altogether — mention a preference when you book. The therapist roster is multinational, and the aromatic-oil and full-body Zen band sits at the top of the menu. For the rooms and the stage as they actually look, browse rooms and facilities and the photo gallery.
Dinner is inside the spend as well: steak, seafood, soups, fried rice and noodles, and a range of drinks are all included, so a late arrival never needs to hunt down supper first.
And after the massage there is no need to hurry. The recliners in the free lounge will carry you to morning, private rest rooms are available at a charge for something quieter, and since the house runs around the clock, departure time is yours.
Common questions
If I book a massage, do I still pay the 1,199?
No. On the September 2026 menu, Shanghai-style at MOP 2,299 is the full price of that service, entry included; the bill adds a 10% service charge and nothing else. The two figures are never added together.
What does a package include besides the massage itself?
Entry, the bath area, the lounges, and the meals included in the spend. Book through this site and it also brings two complimentary add-on services of your choice, with the transfer arranged in the same message.
I land in Macau after midnight — is that too late?
Not at all. The house is open 24 hours and therapists are on duty until 06:00. Book through this site and a free private-car pickup covers anywhere in Macau; with a day’s notice, even a red-eye arrival stays unhurried.
Can I stay overnight after the massage?
Yes. The free lounge is always available, and private rest rooms can be arranged at a charge — mention it when you book. Further details are on the questions page.
Back to the opening question, then: MOP 1,199 is not a ticket — it is simply the menu’s least-chosen line. What actually shapes the night is which band of massage you decide to keep for yourself. The figures here reflect the September 2026 menu; should it change, we re-check that day’s version with you before any booking is confirmed. When you are ready, one message with your date and hotel is enough: the steps are on the booking page, with routes and pick-up points in the directions guide.
