Shopping malls in Phuket
Phuket is a large island, and there are not just one or two, but quite a few shopping malls here. Shopping abroad is an essential part of a vacation, especially when it’s raining on the island and you’re unsure of what to do. In this article, we offer a closer look at Phuket’s shopping malls.
Central Phuket
This is the most famous shopping mall, familiar to every tourist. In Phuket, it consists of two buildings: Central Festival and Central Floresta.
At Central Festival, you’ll find all the most popular brands: H&M, Zara, AIIZ, UNIQLO, Sephora, SuperSport, and many others, as well as electronics and tech stores. Additionally, there are plenty of restaurants, a food court, a children’s play area, and a cinema.
Central Floresta is connected to Central Festival by a pedestrian bridge. This part of the shopping complex features premium global brands. There are also toy and children’s clothing stores, home goods shops, souvenir stalls, restaurants, and play areas. Floresta is home to the Aquaria aquarium and the famous Su Va Na restaurant.
Premium Outlet
Here, you can find items from well-known brands such as Levi’s, Guess, Timberland, Calvin Klein, Ecco, and many others, with discounts ranging from 20% to 80%. In addition to clothing, accessories, home goods, fabrics, and children’s toys are also available.
Premium Outlet consists of two-level buildings and many one-story boutiques connected by covered walkways that provide protection from the sun and rain. There is also parking available for visitors.
Besides shopping, it’s nice to simply stroll through the walkways of Premium Outlet and enjoy the tropical views.
Jungceylon
The main shopping and entertainment center in Patong, known for its beautiful design. In the courtyard, there is a local landmark — a 20-meter ship with white sails.
Jungceylon consists of several buildings with separate entrances and numerous shops, all connected by an entertainment area and a food court.
In the central part of the shopping center, concerts, performances, and other activities for both children and adults are often held, making it a place not only for shopping but also for enjoyable family time.
Robinson
This is a chain of shopping centers, and for your shopping trip, you can choose one of three locations: in Chalong, Bang Tao, or Patong.
Robinson stands out from the others with its bright design. The variety of stores includes not only international brands but also Thai designer shops, allowing you to discover something new.
The mall offers a wide selection of clothing, including beachwear and sportswear, as well as sections with accessories, home goods, musical instruments, electronics, cosmetics, and also a Tops supermarket, a cinema, a children’s center, and a free play area for toddlers.
Another attractive feature of Robinson is the large food court, which takes up an entire floor, with very affordable prices.
The Plaza Surin
A small arcade located just a few minutes’ walk from Surin beach. This beautiful space is filled with premium boutiques and aesthetic galleries.
People usually visit The Plaza Surin for unique items that are hard to find elsewhere: designer clothing, rare jewelry, antiques, art pieces, and unusual furniture.
Market Village
A shopping mall with fewer tourists. Inside, there’s a good selection of shops and restaurants, a kids’ room, and plenty of arcade games.
Many go to Market Village to visit the Villa Market grocery store, where you can buy European products and other goods that are rarely found in Thai stores.
On Mondays and Tuesdays, a night market operates outside the main mall building.
Limelight Phuket
A small shopping mall in the Old Town. The selection of stores isn’t very large, but there is an excellent food court and a 24-hour Tops supermarket. You can also use massage chairs on the top floor of the mall.
At the entrance of Limelight Phuket, musical concerts are often held, which seamlessly complement the atmosphere. From Wednesday to Friday, the mall’s parking lot hosts a night market.
Porto de Phuket
A little slice of Europe in Phuket, where you can not only shop but also enjoy your time. The shopping complex is designed like Italian outlets and resembles an open-air gallery.
Porto de Phuket offers various clothing and accessory brands, pet products, a large sports store, and everything for hobbies and creativity. There’s also a large Central Food Hall supermarket with imported goods.
Along the walking alleys, there are restaurants offering European, Russian, Japanese, and Thai cuisine. Various events often take place on the shopping center’s premises, such as open-air movie screenings, children’s parties, and fire shows.
You can also choose other places to spend time in Phuket in the Entertainment section, for example, by visiting Water parks and Amusement parks.
