The Outlet Village is an upscale indoor retail destination developed by Meraas, offering a unique value shopping experience for the most iconic international fashion brands in a distinctive and stunning environment. Conveniently located on Jebel Ali road, adjacent to Dubai Parks and Resorts (just off on Sheikh Zayed Road), The Outlet Village is a stone’s throw from the centres of both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and the ideal shopping destination for modern day fashionistas to pick up statement pieces at fabulous prices.
The Outlet Village’s iconic architectural design takes inspiration from the picturesque medieval Italian hill town of San Gimignano and UNESCO World Heritage site located in Tuscany. Its bespoke and authentic craftsmanship gives it a feeling of classic European heritage, set amidst the sand dunes of the Arabian desert. Bringing together a striking design inspired by a rich past with an innovative approach to construction, The Outlet Village harmonises architectural history with contemporary lifestyle and invites visitors to explore the contrast between old and new. Located adjacent to Dubai Parks and Resorts and within easy reach of Dubai and Abu Dhabi as well as Al Maktoum International Airport, The Outlet Village is set to emerge as an iconic and must-visit shopping destination for visitors and residents.
Spanning over actual 25,000 square feet with a projection to expand shortly by adding 3 million square feet of space bringing its total retail square footage to 4.5 million by 2018, making it the largest luxury outlet shopping destination in the UAE.
Adding another dimension to Dubai’s rich retail landscape, The Outlet Village currently housing over 125 luxury retail brands including three department stores, international dining and a plethora of brands such as Galeries Lafayette, DKNY, Dunhill, Armani, Lanvin, Coach, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Roberto Cavalli, Carolina Herrera, Ermenegildo Zegna, Hugo Boss and many more. The Outlet Village is the ideal place for consumers to acquire iconic brands at exceptional prices. With the added space, The Outlet Village will be home to 350 individual retailers and a total of 450 luxury international brands.
The Outlet Village’s expansion phase will be beautifully designed, but the new theme will be markedly different from the iconic Tuscan architecture showcased within the existing structure that opened to public back in September. The expanded layout and the fluid design transitions between the two phases will emphasise The Outlet Village’s focus on luxury, variety, aesthetics and value.
“The launch of The Outlet Village is part of Meraas’ commitment to build on the Dubai Fashion 2020 strategy, helping to diversify the city’s retail infrastructure and bolstering Dubai’s position as an evolving fashion capital of the world. The retail mix of prestigious high-end fashion and consumer brands within The Outlet Village is perfectly matched to the tastes of sophisticated UAE residents and visitors and we are excited to welcome customers to experience this unique shopping experience”.
Once visitors have wandered around The Outlet Village’s stunning paved walkways and perused a selection of fabulous stores, they can relax in one of the elegant Piazzas which boast a variety of eateries, including PF Changs, Operation Falafel and Tashas; enough to revitalise the most dedicated of shoppers!
Complimentary Tourism Shuttle Buses are also available to transport visitors to The Outlet Village from selected hotels and popular tourist destinations; what better way to spend the day than strolling through the picturesque Tuscan-esque streets, whilst indulging in a spot of retail therapy.
