Top 10 Malaysian Shopping Malls in 2026

Located at the base of the Petronas Twin Towers, Suria KLCC combines a luxury retail floor plan with direct access to KLCC Park, the Aquaria oceanarium, and the Philharmonic Concert Hall in a location of undeniable prestige. The mall's Mandarin Oriental hotel connection, stunning tower views from the upper floor restaurants, and Isetan department store anchor make it the most architecturally dramatic mall destination in Malaysia.

The most distinctive mall in Malaysia architecturally — built in the form of an Egyptian pyramid with a sphinx at its entrance — Sunway Pyramid's 900 retail outlets, indoor ice skating rink, multi-screen cinema, and direct connection to Sunway Lagoon Theme Park and Sunway City's hotel and university complex make it a genuine self-contained urban destination rather than merely a shopping centre.

One of Southeast Asia's largest malls by retail area, Mid Valley Megamall and its adjacent The Gardens Mall (which caters to the luxury segment) form a retail complex of extraordinary scale that draws shoppers from across the Klang Valley with its Metrojaya department store, hundreds of mid-market retailers, and a food hall that satisfies virtually any Malaysian dining craving.

A younger KL mall in Cheras that has quickly established itself as one of the Klang Valley's most popular destinations through its well-curated retail mix, excellent food court, Jaya Grocer supermarket, and Harvey Norman electronics anchor. Its connection to Cochrane MRT station makes it the most transit-accessible major mall in KL and a model for transit-oriented mall development in Malaysia.

Malaysia's largest mall by retail floor area, 1 Utama in Damansara hosts over 700 retailers across its Old Wing and New Wing, connected by a climate-controlled bridge above a 10,000-square-foot rooftop garden. Its remarkable diversity of food offerings — from a Japanese ramen village to a dedicated Eurasian restaurant cluster — reflects the culinary sophistication that Malaysian mall developers have pioneered over the past decade.

The newest and most ambitious retail complex in Malaysia, The Exchange TRX sits at the heart of the Tun Razak Exchange financial district and brings an unprecedented roster of international brands new to Malaysia alongside a rooftop park of 10 acres — the largest urban park in KL — to create the most exciting new retail and leisure destination the country has launched in a decade.

Penang's premier upscale shopping destination on the Gurney Drive waterfront houses the island's best selection of international and premium Malaysian fashion brands, an excellent cinema, and a ground floor food court that serves as an air-conditioned alternative to the famous outdoor hawker centre 50 metres away on the seafront promenade.

The largest mall on Penang Island, Queensbay Mall on the Bayan Lepas coast combines a comprehensive retail offering with waterfront views, direct access to the Penang Ferry terminal, and a mix of international and local brands that caters to both the expat technology worker community of Bayan Lepas and the broader Penang Island market.

The finest shopping mall in East Malaysia, Imago in KK's City Mall complex provides the Sabahan capital with its first genuinely comprehensive premium retail experience — an event space, multiple cinema screens, a strong F&B line-up, and a Parkson department store anchor that together create a retail standard previously unavailable outside Peninsular Malaysia.
