SM Mall of Asia is one of the largest malls in the Philippines, and even makes the list of the world's largest malls, too. It's certainly not your run-of-the-mill mall but is more of a tourist destination with lots to offer in terms of shopping, leisure, and entertainment.

Situated right by the scenic Manila Bay, the mall is a sprawling complex boasting top-tier facilities and a good mix of local and global brands. You can easily spend a day or 2 here shopping or enjoying a drink by the bay in the evening.

SM Mall of Asia highlights

SM Mall of Asia has a 2-storey entertainment complex with world-class movie theatres and contains the country's first Olympic-sized ice-skating rink. The extensive selection of shops and dining establishments, from fast food to gourmet, can be a bit overwhelming. There's also a small amusement park outside, which is a good place for a picnic and just to chill and enjoy the sea breeze.

Itā€™s a must to mention that sunsets here are stunning and, on weekends, you get to see a short fireworks display. SM Mall of Asia also includes a convention centre, an expansive concert ground, and an indoor arena with a seating capacity of up to 20,000 people. Frequented by both locals and tourist shoppers, it can be packed on weekends and holidays, so itā€™s best to go on weekdays when possible.
