2,190 words6 min read

When it comes to finding budget accommodation in Macau, many travellers instinctively think of the major resorts in Taipa/Cotai, overlooking that Taipa itself is a reclaimed area renowned for its upscale resorts. If you truly want to save money staying in Taipa, strategy matters more than simply booking any room. The Reality of Budget Accommodation in Taipa/Cotai This must be understood clearly: Taipa/Cotai is Macau's most expensive prime location, and all major resorts (The Venetian, The Londoner, The Parisian, Galaxy, etc.) primarily target upscale clientele...

說到在澳門找平價住宿,很多旅客直覺想到路氹城的各大度假村,卻忽略了路氹本身就是以高階渡假村聞名的填海城區。真正想省錢住氹仔,策略比隨便訂一間更重要。

路氹城平價住宿的現實

必須先說清楚:路氹城(Cotai)是澳門最昂貴的黃金地帶,所有大型度假村(威尼斯人、倫敦人、巴黎人、銀河等)都以高階客群為主,幾乎沒有傳統意義的budget hotel。如果你的行程目的是「住在路氹城裡省交通費」,這個如意算盤可能打不響——這裡的住宿選擇本來就以$$$至$$$$為主。

但這不代表氹仔沒有平價選擇。真正的平價住宿其實分佈在「氹仔舊城區」,即官也街、地堡街一帶的傳統社群。這裡保留了老澳門的巷弄風情,步行可達龍環葡韻、葡式蛋撻名店,又能以舊城區的合理房價住宿。

舊城區民宿:最具CP值的選擇

氹仔舊城區近年冒出多間由葡式老屋改建的民宿和家庭式旅舍,規模雖小但位置極佳。這類住宿的優勢在於:

1. Location黃金距離:離官也街美食街步行2-3分鐘,龍環葡韻步行5分鐘,去路氹城各大度假村也只需10-15分鐘巴士車程。

2. 價格親民:澳門幣$300-$600即可入住,以這個地段的便利性來說CP值極高。

3. 在地體驗:很多民宿由本地家庭經營,能提供路氹城五星級酒店給不了的「接地氣」推薦——哪些店本地人真的在吃、哪些巷子裡有驚喜。

實際選擇方向

如果你的預算在每晚$500以下,以下策略可以參考:

首先,舊城區施督憲正街一帶有家庭式旅舍,距離官也街僅數步之遙,方便品嚐水蟹粥、杏仁餅等在地美食。這類住宿適合「把吃飯預算省下來給住宿」的旅客,因為舊城區餐飲選擇多且平價。

其次,可考慮氹仔市區的非渡假村酒店。這類酒店不一定在路氹金光大道上,但有巴士直達各大度假村,車程15分鐘以內,適合將行程重點放在「白天去路氹城玩耍、晚上回舊城區吃住」的旅客。

第三種策略是「渡假村外圍住宿」——部分氹仔北端與路氹城邊緣地帶的住宿,雖不在金光大道核心區,但以$$至$$$價格提供相對舒適的房間,且步行或短程巴士即可到達主要景點。

何時不適合住路氹城預算

如果你計劃在澳門停留多於3晚,且行程包含澳門半島(議事亭前地、大三巴等),住在路氹城反而增加交通費——過海巴士單程就要MOP$6-8。倒是考慮住在舊城區,去澳門半島和路氹城都方便。

另外,澳門通行的「住宿兩晚」政策在復活節、暑假等旺季不一定適用,建議提早至少兩週預訂。2026年初香港訪客量同比增長18%,澳門住宿需求同步攀升,平價選擇更快滿房。

實用資訊

交通方面:氹仔舊城區沒有輕軌站,最近的是氹仔碼頭站(步行約20分鐘),但巴士網路發達——MT1、MT2、MT4等路線往返路氹城與澳門半島非常方便。澳門通電子支付覆蓋所有巴士。

住宿費用參考:舊城區民宿約MOP$300-600/晚,non-resort hotel約MOP$400-800/晚,視乎旺季淡季浮動。

營業時間:民宿通常24小時check-in,傳統酒店櫃臺服務時間約08:00-24:00。

旅遊小提示

千萬別只看路氹城裡的度假村就放棄氹仔住宿。舊城區的巷弄裡藏著真正的生活氣息——早上在街角茶餐廳吃個MOP$25的蛋治,下午散步到龍環葡韻看濕地日落,晚上回民宿休息。這種「慢遊澳門」的住宿體驗,是住度假村感受不到的。

如果你的行程以路氹城的表演、購物、演唱會為主,當然住度假村最方便。但如果你想「用舊城區的價格,享受路氹城的便利」,民宿策略絕對值得考慮。
