Why go
Porto de Phuket is an open-air lifestyle centre that brings together design, everyday living and natural elements. Visitors can browse trendy lifestyle stores, eat at restaurants serving Thai and international dishes, and relax with family entertainment. It belongs to the Central Group, one of the largest retail groups in Thailand.
The centre is planned around the whole family: shoes, bags, eyewear, accessories and dresses from a mix of brands, plus restaurants and play areas for children. A calendar of seasonal events, such as a Christmas tree lighting and a beach community run, keeps the open-air spaces lively through the year.
Main services
Services from the official website.
Stores for shoes, bags, eyeglasses, accessories and dresses, with brands such as Bangkok Bootery, Supersports, Jim Thompson, Havaianas and Billabong, set in open-air surroundings that suit slow, relaxed family browsing.
A choice of restaurants offering dishes from across Thailand as well as international cuisine, so families and groups can find a meal after shopping or between activities during the day.
A food hall within the centre, reached from gate 1 according to the centre's own notice, for fresh food and everyday groceries when you want something simpler than a restaurant meal.
Relaxing activities for the whole family, including Healthy Heaven and a dedicated kids' zone, which gives parents a break from shopping while children have somewhere of their own to play.
Seasonal events held on site, such as a Christmas tree lighting celebration with festive activities and a Sunday community run by the beach, announced on the centre's news pages ahead of each date.
