Jumeirahs Boutique Malls

Dubai is best known for its cavernous, with even bigger and more expansive ones to come in the near future. But if you would prefer a more compact retail getaway, then head over to the Jumeirah district, home to some of Dubai’s trendiest boutique shopping centres.

A cross between an American strip mall and a European town square, City Walk is an outdoor lifestyle destination dotted with streetside cafes and gourmet restaurants. An ongoing extension to the project has added in a shopping centre housing exclusive retail brands and the City Walk Residences, which features luxury apartments that enjoy breathtaking views of Downtown Dubai.

Exuding old Dubai charm, Town Centre has been around for several decades, along with the neighboring Jumeirah Centre and Jumeirah Plaza. Sitting along Jumeirah Beach Road, this quiet little mall has quite a few international fashion outlets and gourmet cafes.

Taking a cue from the stylish market in London’s Shoreditch district, Box Park is an outdoor retail and dining space made up of shipping containers. The industrial aesthetic stands out in sharp contrast to its surroundings and has helped it become one of Jumeirah’s most popular hangouts.

Bearing a unique contemporary design and a very straightforward name, The Mall is located opposite Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the Burj Al Arab. It is primarily populated by fashion and beauty outlets, plus a selection of restaurants that all have outdoor patio seating.

The Palm Strip Mall draws inspiration from the open-air shopping plazas of California, and enjoys a beachside location that overlooks the beautiful Pearl Jumeirah and Nikki Beach Resort. Aside from its fashion outlets, it also houses an exclusive art gallery.
