Next door, the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Málaga elevates the experience even further, with luxury brands such as Moncler, Baldinini, Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, Pepe Jeans, and many more — all offering attractive discounts in a stylish, open-air setting that feels more like a Mediterranean village than a shopping center.

From Andalusian tapas to international cuisine, it’s the perfect spot to relax after a day of shopping. The open terraces, beautiful lighting, and lively atmosphere make it an experience in itself.
