Shopping Centers in Cancun
Cancun. Colossal pyramidal ruins, second worldâs largest reef on the world, the dense jungle, world famous night clubs and the beautiful beaches are just some examples of the images that cross our minds when we talk about this beautiful spot. We know that foreign investment at Cancun has always been of the highest importance, and this can be noticed while we enjoy the great number of internationally known restaurants and hotels in the city.
Besides, the great number of shopping malls and shopping spots is something worth the visit; and the best is that everything is so close to the hotel you will be staying at! Follow us while we make a fast review of the main shopping malls in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Luxury Avenue, Plaza Kukulcán
This is considered the most luxurious and top of the tops shopping mall in Cancun. Itâs located on the Boulevard Kukulcán, right on the hotel-tourist zone. Inside you will find 25 stores, and even when it might seem this is small for a mall, every single store its worth the visit. Its hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.
Feel safe on this place, and leave your car keys to the Valet; and afterwards, why not? You can buy one of those famous and world known ochre-colored pattern pieces from Burberry. You deserve that modern suit from Ermenegildo Zegna´s collection, for that special business meeting at the hotel. If you are into something from the country, you can try Pineda-Covalin´s store, with their last Mexican-inspired patterns applied to bags, ties and now on this last season, to furniture.
Or maybe you are more into leather; if thatâs the case you can enjoy buying at Coach, Fendi, Louis Vuitton and Ferragamo. Just to cool you down from all that shopping frenzy, you might consider enjoying some of the delicious and exotic dishes at the mallâs Luxury Bar and Café.
Forum by the Sea
Being perhaps the most well-known shopping mall in the city, it is located on Boulevard Kukulcan´s strip. Its original architecture is what really makes this shopping mall a well-known spot and makes it outstand from the rest. Located near the Hyatt, Royal Sunset, Le Blanc and NH Krystal Hotels, this mall is one of the most visited in the city.
The main attraction on this mall are the many clubs and restaurants where you can enjoy a really good time. On its first floor, you can find the world famous Coco Bongo, a club that you canât miss if you are up to some dancing, enjoying some exotic drinks, and watching the midnight show. The next day you can visit the Hard Rock Café, and listen to the live performing bands that play each weekend; the large amount of memorabilia from American and British rock and roll legends is a major attraction of this huge spot.
Either if you plan on just enjoying a good dinner or having a wild and fun night, Forum by the Sea is a great option!
Las Americas Plaza
Conveniently located downtown, this mall is really huge; and even though is not considered a highly luxurious place, it has tremendously popular options. Letâs say that is the last part of your trip and you just want to save some bucks and have a delicious dinner before going to the club, you can have your fix at McDonalds, Burger King or Pizza Hut, so youâll just pay for the drinks later at the club.
Or maybe that summer movie you were craving so much back home went out while you are on vacations, why would you miss it? You can enjoy it here, at the local Cinépolis, with 3D and VIP amenities. Go shopping something chic from the Inditex group, with stores ranging from Zara, Bershka to Lob, amongst others.
Are you short of cash on the last part of your trip? You can try to recover some dollars on the Recórcholis and Yak racing-betting centers. If your hotel room is equipped with a kitchen, and you are up to cook a special dinner, you can buy everything you need at Chedraui, a Mexican shopping mart were you can find everything you need at great prices.
And these are just some examples of what you can do at this mall, which has more than 230 stores on the same place!
