Top 5 things to do in Macau this month

1. If you can bear to be separated from your phone for an hour or two, or relish the opportunity to disconnect for a while, look no further than the Spa at Mandarin Oriental Macau. They have launched a Digital Detox Retreat designed to help guests find new ways to manage their relationship with technology and the stress that can come with a connected digital lifestyle. Your phone is collected on arrival and expertly cleaned while you enjoy two hours of disconnected bliss. The treatment includes relaxation in an aromatic bath, followed by a massage that concentrates on the head, eyes, neck, shoulders, hands and feet.

2. Grab the opportunity to try some delicious Nordic cuisine. Until December 17, renowned Swedish chef Björn Frantzén from his eponymous two Michellin-starred restaurant, which is listed in “The World’s 50 Best Restaurants”, will craft two menus of modern Scandinavian dishes with subtle Japanese influences for up to 12 guests a night. Food lovers will have a rare opportunity to go on a culinary journey of Restaurant Frantzén’s signature dishes - in Macau.

3. Should you find that the annual Macau Grand Prix has inspired you to want to get behind the wheel yourself, go-karting at Macao Motorsports Club could be the next best thing. The 1.2km track has been renovated and is one of the most challenging tracks in Asia. All the gear is included in the hire price.  You’ll need a drivers’ licence though.
