There is a Big C Supermarket as well as seven venues for entertainment; these include movie cinemas and a night club. Once you are done shopping the place will readily satisfy those hunger pangs offering you a choice of over 25 restaurants, cafes and bars to relax at. The place is virtually a city on its own and most certainly will not disappoint.
This is the largest shopping mall in Phuket boasting three very large buildings that are well amalgamated to offer the ultimate shopping experience. Located just on the outskirts of the city, Central Festival is easy to reach from any well located luxury Phuket hotel. Top brand names are available across a variety of items such as clothing, fashion accessories, cosmetics, electronics, homeware, sportswear etc. Dining is a real treat with restaurants offering Chinese, Japanese, western and Thai cuisine. The SFX cinema screens the latest international and Thai blockbusters while Central Festival East just across the road is a whole new shopping adventure with shops selling cell phones, DIY projects, handbags and much more; well worth the 44 minute ride from Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas this mall will make all your shopping dreams come true.
Located on the Bypass Road in Phuket the place is designed like a shopping village; home to a few designer boutiques, cafes and restaurants the place also offers a few bars on the side-lines. All the boutiques are branded shops that sell out of season products at extraordinary discounts. There is a range of goodies from shoes to clothes to toys and branded accessories. A must visit location for some of the best deals in town, Premium Outlet Phuket is open from 11 am to 11 pm.
This is a glitzy modern mall that is made of glass and steel. Located about 100 metres to the south of Bangla Road the mall is on Patpong Beach. The place exudes a festive aura at night and is loved for its dining options as well as its shopping thrills. There is a rooftop mini golf course in case you are in the mood for some fun while a convenience store located there is ideal for picking up any forgotten little essential items.
Located on New Dibuk Road this modern mall is located in the heart of the city centre. The place is in fact just a hop step and jump away from Old Phuket Town, offering you the chance to explore some history while indulging in some holiday shopping. Dining too consists of variety and choice at Limelight Avenue Phuket.
