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).

Categories of Providers

Attendants

Attendants are indentured sex workers who are employed by Altar Group. They engage in sex work in order to pay off their debts. All Attendants at Velvet Sauna initially began their careers working in Altar properties in the Middle East. The rate for a Junior Attendant starts at HK$10,000 per hour.

Senior Attendants are especially trusted Attendants who have a proven track record of excellent work performance as well as good conduct. They are easily identifiable by their black stockings, and typically require advance booking. The rate for a Senior Attendant is HK$15,000 per hour. The overnight rate is $60,000.

Junior Attendants are available for incall services between the hours of 13:00 to 03:00 only. Senior Attendants are permitted to provide outcall services within the hotel complex.

Valets

Valets are highly-skilled independent courtesans who work in partnership with Velvet Sauna. Even though they are self-employed, Valets who work with Velvet Sauna are required to abide by strict service guidelines. Valets are available for both incall and outcall bookings 24 hours a day, and are able to accept longer bookings of up to 7 nights.

In-House Pleasure Services

Velvet Sauna's signature Classic Course lasts 60 minutes, and is based on the traditional "Dongguan Service" with influences from the soaplands in Yoshiwara, Japan. The service course is divided into four segments, namely a bath massage, a sensual massage, oral service, and full service. All customers are guaranteed at least one climax during the Classic Course, and receive unlimited extensions of time at no charge until they finish. Conversely, if a customer climaxes during the earlier two phases of the course, they will continue to receive service until the end of the 60 minutes. Where possible, they will be encouraged to finish a second time.

During the massage phases, customers are guaranteed to receive either one or both of paizuri and sumata. Providers who are unable to perform paizuri because they do not have large enough breasts will instead perform extended sumata and oral service routines.

During the oral service phase, customers are guaranteed to receive light rimming, a cat bath, and extended deep-throating.

During the full service phase, providers are expected to ensure that customers "do not need to overexert themselves" unless they choose to do so. For Valets of Asian ethnicity (Chinese, Japanese and Korean), there is a flat-rate surcharge of HK$1,000 ($128.60) for anal service. All other providers are required to offer anal service at no additional charge.

Condom Policy

• Asian Attendants: Attendants of Asian ethnicity are able to offer both protected ("GFE") and unprotected ("Natural") service. A surcharge of HK$2,000 ($257.20) is applicable for natural service. Each Attendant is issued two condoms before the start of each service session. It is up to the customer whether or not to use a condom; the Attendant may not refuse.
• Foreign Attendants: Attendants of non-Asian ethnicity are able to offer only unprotected/natural service. There is no surcharge applicable. Attendants are not permitted to carry condoms on their person, and anyone caught in possession will be subject to severe disciplinary action. In addition, customers have the right to either request proof of sterilization or require the Attendant to consume Plan B immediately after a session.
• Asian Valets: Valets of Asian ethnicity offer both GFE and natural service. A surcharge of 15% is applicable for natural service. Valets have the right to refuse natural service to non-Asian customers, but may not do so with Asian customers as long as the surcharge is paid.
• Foreign Valets: Valets of non-Asian ethnicity may only provide natural service to all customers. No surcharge is applicable. Any attempt at adding a surcharge or suggesting condom use may lead to contract termination. Customers have the right to either request proof of sterilization or require the Valet to consume Plan B immediately after a session.

All Attendants and Valets are required to offer customers various options for how they would like to finish, i.e. face, mouth, body, pussy or ass.
