Parañaque City, land of international airports and casinos, has a new addition to its slew of lifestyle centers with the opening of the five-level Ayala Malls Manila Bay today. At 400,000 square meters, it’s the biggest Ayala Mall to date.

Among the mall’s most notable features: a 10-theater cinema on its upper floor, and a sprawling one-hectare central garden outside its grounds.

Art aficionados take note: The garden also houses sculptures by brass sculptor artist Michael Cacnio, and Visayan designers Vito Selma and Ann Pamintuan. A “multi-modal transportation hub” also makes it easier for people to zip in and out via public transportation.

And finally, as its name suggests, the shopping center also faces a spectacular view of the Manila bay.

Besides catering to the residents of Parañaque and neighboring city dwellers, the newly-opened mall is also anticipating a fair amount of tourist traffic, with signs inside the mall written in four languages: Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and English.
Inside, you’ll also find mini Japan and Korea towns, featuring shops and restaurants from the two countries. And if you’re in the mood for some hometown flavors and vibes, there’s also a li’l Filipino village, showcasing local and regional food, fashion, and home products.
Ayala Malls has over 60 commercial centers across the Philippines, housing local and global brands, entertainment and recreational facilities, and featuring pocket gardens inside bustling urban centers. Ayala Land has been developing malls in the Philippines for 30 years.
