The island of Coloane is Macau's countryside, with wooded hills, beach-lined bays, and traditional villages. With only two hotels on the island, the Westin Macau and the Pousada de Coloane in Macau, anyone would be right to assume that Coloane is peaceful. Historically a haven for pirates with its deserted coves, rugged cliffs, and sea caves, visitors and residents now flock to Coloane Island to swim, have picnics, and simply enjoy the treasure of nature.
