Everything thing about this area is new, sparkly and squeaky clean and the shopping options are no exception. The vast malls here go for modern convenience combined with high street and luxury brands. That means large open shopping spaces, bright and cool stores and easy access from MRT stations. Read on to discover our carefully chosen 5 best places to shop at Marina Bay in Singapore as following.
1. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands
As part of Singapore’s iconic Marina Bay Sands complex, this vast mall is home to hundreds of shops, world-class restaurants and some sophisticated cafes and bars. Even if you’re not a fan a trawling Singapore’s ever-expanding list of mega-malls, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is worth a look alone for its spectacular architecture, featuring giant glass windows, vast open atrium and a central water feature - all particularly pleasing on the eye. After shopping, wining or dining, visitors can venture up to the casino, observation deck, rooftop bar or restaurants which can all additionally be found at the Marina Bay Sands complex.
Opening Hours: 11:00 - 20:00
Address: 2 Bay front Avenue, Marina Bay Sands

2. Marina Square
Conveniently located right by Singapore’s Marina Bay, this multi-purpose mall is a great place to come to shop, eat and be entertained. The large range of shops isn’t as extensive or exclusive as at the nearby ‘Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands’; however, you’ll inevitably find cheaper prices at this slightly older mall. What we really love about Marina Square is its dining options – particularly the food court at the top. After doing all of your shopping, head up to the fourth floor to grab some cheap and tasty food from around the world whilst enjoying the stunning views over the bay through huge windows. Elsewhere, Marina Square also boasts a cinema and a 10-lane bowling alley.
Opening Hours: Daily 10:00 - 22:00
Address: 6 Raffles Boulevard
Tel: +65 6339 8787
3. Esplanade Mall
Although the futuristic Esplanade building is better known for its theaters and live shows, this vast lifestyle complex also includes a whole host of great shopping options. Specializing more in the way of arts, crafts and home ware, shopping at Esplanade presents a nice change of pace, compared to the more frantic mega-malls Singapore so proudly boasts. Be sure to check out The Naturalist Grandeur for their great range of oils and perfumes, Maestro Guitars & Ukuleles for musical supplies and Csar Luxe for some rather swanky French home ware. You can reach the shops, theaters and restaurants by going to Esplanade MRT Station, just a minute or two away from Marina Bay.
Opening Hours: Daily 08:00 till 02:00 (shop times differ)
Address: 1 Esplanade Drive, Singapore 038981

4. Suntec City Mall
As one of Singapore’s largest malls, Suntec City is home to around 300 shops, a cinema, gym, a games arcade and a huge central fountain – the largest of its type in the world. As for the shopping opportunities, visitors will find a great variety of fashion, lifestyle, electronics, home ware and cosmetics stores spread over four spacious floors. In the evening, the fountain – or to give it its proper title: The Fountain of Wealth – lights up, creating a spectacular show. You can find it at the very center of this huge retail and lifestyle complex.
Opening Hours: 10:00 - 22:00
Address: 5 Temasek Blvd

5. Millenia Walk
Millenia Walk is a mid-sized mall sandwiched between the larger Suntec City and Marina Square malls near the Marina Bay. Although you’ll find a decent range of outlets and restaurants, Millenia Walk’s biggest selling point is its convenient location, accessible directly from Promenade MRT. There are plenty of high street names as well as a good few one-of-a-kind bespoke fashion stores such as Ed Et Al, Rossi, Mr Bulli & sons and Van Laack. The solid dining options include cuisines from around the world: for French, try Wine Universe Restaurant or find Vietnamese and Thai cuisines at Madam Saigon and Ruby respectively.
