One of the largest shopping malls in the Philippines, the SM Mall of Asia sprawls across more than 400,000 square metres in Bay City. It comprises four interconnected buildings packed with more than 1,000 stores and 300 restaurants. It’s also home to an IMAX theatre and Olympic-size skating rink.

Browse the luxury designer brands and local fashion while wandering through the SM Mall of Asia or pick up sporting items, homewares and electrical goods. There are both sit-down restaurants and fast-food takeaway joints, along with international coffee and ice-cream chains.

Travelling with kids? The SM Mall of Asia boasts its own science centre, the Exploreum, where eight galleries offer a range of hands-on exhibits.
