D'Mall Boracay

D’Mall Boracay is an outdoor shopping plaza offering a variety of restaurants, souvenir shops, cafés, bars, and everything in between. It's basically a 1-stop shop for anything you could possibly need while you are on the island.

Perhaps you need extra cash? They have ATM machines, banks, money changers and even pawn shops. Fancy getting pampered after a long day? There are numerous salons, spas, and massage shops here. There's even a grocery store for your basic essentials. When shopping for souvenirs, prices here are at a premium so prepare to haggle. Even if you don't get it at the price you're willing to pay though, you can use it as a benchmark when looking for the same item elsewhere.

D’Mall Boracay is conveniently located on White Beach, between Station 1 and Station 2. It’s a short tricycle ride away from the farthest end of Station 1, although some people take the scenic route by the beachfront. It’s perfect for reconnecting with friends and is also an excellent point of reference when meeting tour guides. In fact, you can book various activities here, and many resort shuttles pick up their guests from this area, too.

If you have kids in tow, you’ll be delighted to find that there's a small amusement park, complete with a Ferris wheel. At night, you can snap photos with living statue street performers. If you can't decide where to get their next meal, the choice here is excellent and ranges from budget-friendly to high-end. Just bear in mind that some stores here don’t accept credit cards.
