Velvet Sauna (Traditional Chinese: 紫京桑拿會所) is a private gentlemen's club located in the Macau Special Administrative Region in China. It is co-owned by Altar Group and Poseidon Entertainment Group, and is designated as a five-star property within the international Altar Collection. It is the only Altar property located in Asia, and is widely believed to be a favorite meeting venue for members of the Chinese business and political elite.

The property occupies the 32nd to 35th floors of the Altira Hotel and Casino, and has a floor area of over 75,000 square feet. Its facilities include a communal wet spa area, 3 lounges, a restaurant, secure videoconferencing and satellite telephone facilities. There are also 48 guest rooms and 12 suites where guests may avail themselves of adult entertainment services. The entire club compound is guarded by an on-site security team comprised of operatives from private military company Skyshroud.

"...An decadent den of pleasure where Chinese oligarchs mingle with the political elite and strike their discreet backroom deals, and thereafter, bond over the finest sensual delights that Macau has to offer."

For members of Velvet Sauna, the main draw is its adult entertainment services, which are provided by a roster of attractive and highly-trained female companions. The roster includes freelance providers known as Valets, and indentured sex workers known as Attendants.

Attendants at Velvet Sauna are recruited from amongst the top performers at Altar's other properties in the Middle East, and are bound by the indenture rules under Yemen's kafala (sponsorship) system. As Inmate Prostitutes, they are held in custody at the Taipa Women's Dormitory. The General Manager of Velvet Sauna serves as their legal conservator.

Admission to Velvet Sauna is restricted to members and their guests only. Each member is allowed up to two guests per visit. There is a strict vetting process for new membership applicants, with a waiting list of up to three years. Successful applicants are required to pay a one-time initiation fee of HK$500,000, plus annual membership dues of HK$150,000.

In January 2031, Altar Group agreed to a partnership with Banque Saint-Germain, giving holders of the Aquila card, all of whom are the private bank's most elite clients with assets under management of at least $100 million, complimentary lifetime membership at Velvet Sauna and several other similar clubs.

Velvet Sauna is widely regarded as the most luxurious sauna in Macau, with rates starting at HK$10,000 ($1,287) for one hour of service with a Junior Attendant. For the highest grade Valets, hourly rates can go up to HK$18,500 ($2,380).
