Located right beside Tampa International Airport, make this your first stop after a long and tiring flight to recharge your batteries. The tropical palm trees and resort style decor of this shopping mall will truly make you feel like you’re on holiday, with shopping and eating as your own obligations.

With 200 internationally recognised stores holding a space in this top of the range mall, almost 50% of its stores are exclusive in the Tampa Bay Area. Upmarket brands such as Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Tiffany & Co., Gucci and Louis Vuitton make their home here, where you can fulfill all your shopping dreams with only the finest quality products. Marvel at the cutting edge technology in the Apple Shop, and feel like a star trying on all the latest styles at retail stores such as Zara, Abecrombie and Fitch, Forever 21 and H&M. Wander around with a savoury, freshly baked pretzel from Aunty Anne’s as a snack, or a scoop of creamy, refreshing ice-cream from Häagen-Dazs.

Once you’ve exhausted yourself - and your wallet - it’s time to take sit down for a meal at one of their numerous restaurants located at the Bay Street, an outdoor village that offers eateries at every price point. For a fancier setting, The Capital Grille offers quality steaks, chops, seafood and service, and Ocean Prime is the modern version of the classic American Supper Club. For those whose wallets are feeling the strain after all the shopping, affordable but mouth-watering options are the world famous chipotle and Chick-fil-A. Indulge in a sinfully delicious slice of Cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory after, and finally, grab a quick Frappucino from Starbucks to fuel you up to hit the shops once again!
