Galaxy Macau
A rooftop wave pool and man-made beach make Galaxy Macau the most family-friendly stop on the Cotai Strip.
Galaxy Macau anchors the northern end of the Cotai Strip and is one of the largest integrated resorts in the area, spanning several connected hotel towers. Its standout feature is the "Grand Resort Deck" — a rooftop area with a wave pool, a lazy river, and a stretch of imported white sand styled as a beach, open seasonally.
What to do there
- Grand Resort Deck — wave pool, lazy river and man-made beach (seasonal; usually warmer months, and typically for hotel guests).
- Food hall — one of the largest and most varied on the Cotai Strip, spanning Asian and international options.
- Broadway Macau — an adjoining pedestrian street with street-food style stalls and an outdoor performance area, free to walk through.
- Casino floor — 21+ with ID required.
