Central Phuket Floresta

Central Phuket is the largest shopping mall on the island, offering a wide range of brands and undoubtedly one of the best places for shopping in Phuket.

It consists of two wings: Central Festival and Central Floresta. The first features well-known clothing, footwear, and accessory brands, while the second is home mainly to luxury boutiques.

At Central Festival, you’ll find mass-market brands such as H&M, Zara, Crocs, AIIZ, UNIQLO, Sephora, and SuperSport, as well as various electronics and tech stores. This wing of the mall also houses numerous restaurants and food courts, a children’s play area, and a cinema.

The second wing — Central Floresta — is connected to Central Festival by a pedestrian bridge. Here you’ll find world-famous premium brands — Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Balenciaga, Celine, Bvlgari, Tiffany & Co. In addition, Floresta also offers toy and children’s clothing shops, home goods, souvenir stalls, restaurants, kids’ zones, and a Tops supermarket. This is also where you’ll find Aquaria, a large aquarium, the AR TRICK EYE 3D optical illusion museum, and the Su Va Na seafood restaurant.

The shopping mall provides free Wi-Fi, portable charging stations, currency exchange counters, ATMs, an exclusive lounge, buggy service, and other conveniences.
