If anyone asks you which is the best shopping destination in Asia, and your answer is Singapore, you’d be right. The island-state is world-renowned for shopping and even holds an annual shopping festival known as the Great Singapore Sale. People here love shopping so much that Singapore has the most high-end malls per capita. Now, this causes a happy dilemma – which mall to shop at? To guide you on your next shopping excursion, here are 5 best shopping malls in Singapore:
Orchard Central
On Orchard Road, the shopping haven of Singapore, the best-looking mall easily has to be Orchard Central. This is the largest vertical mall in the country and is adorned with decor that costs over $6 million. Shopping here is a treat for your eyes. There’s also valet service if you are driving here.
Orchard Central is home to many national and international brands, and you can also find many discounts and offers throughout the year. There’s also a rooftop garden which is a great place to hang out and relax. The garden is open 24/7. Orchard Central is a unique mall that all shoppers must experience.
Suntec City Mall
Do you want to buy your essentials from Carrefour or buy electronics from Harvey Norman? There is only one mall for that – Suntec City Mall. This massive mall complex has over 600 retail stores for shopaholics to get their fix. The mall has 4 sections with the high-end stores located at the bottom and the rest spread over other floors.
There’s a lot more happening at Suntec Mall than just shopping. From non-stop fairs and events to movie theatres and arcades, this is the place for entertainment. Another place worth seeing here is the Fountain of Wealth, which was once the largest fountain in the world.
VivoCity Mall
Most shopping malls are closed, cramped spaces but not VivoCity Mall. It is the largest mall in Singapore and many people come here to experience the wide-open spaces. It’s quite easy to get here because it is located close to HarbourFront MRT station. VivoCity Mall offers more than 1 million sq. ft. of retail space.
There are many “Singapore’s largest” in VivoCity Mall. From the largest cinema hall to the largest toy store, VivoCity Mall is a place to experience big things. Kids especially love VivoCity Mall because of the massive outdoor children’s play area, huge wade pool, and rooftop Skypark. VivoCity Mall is something that everyone with a Singapore tourist visa should experience.
ION Orchard
Do you want to indulge in futuristic shopping? ION Orchard Mall will give you that. Step in and you will feel like you have fast-forwarded at least 20 years into the future with sleek and stunning decor made of marble, steel, and glass unlike anywhere you’ll ever see. Even the mall’s exteriors will mesmerise you with the artistic and colourful displays.
Inside, you’ll find the biggest brands in the world ranging from Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior to Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani, Fossil, and Aldo. This is the place where you come to indulge yourself and splurge on the best brands from around the world.
Mustafa Centre
The Mustafa Centre is a mall for everything. Here, you can find the best things at the most competitive price. No wonder it is one of the favourite places of all Singaporeans and tourists. If you are looking to buy some great and unique stuff without upsetting your budget, shop at Mustafa Centre.
Rather than a complete mall, this place operates more like a collection of retail stores, hence, you get the most competitive products and prices here. Even if you don’t shop here, just visit the place for the experience. Mustafa Centre is truly unique.
Once you have your Singapore visit visa, do plan to visit these malls if you are coming to Singapore for the best shopping excursion.
