If you’re looking to do some shopping in Valencia but want to avoid the busy city centre, Bonaire is a great option. It’s a huge open-air shopping mall—not quite a “small village” concept, but more like a massive indoor mall without a roof. It has a spacious layout, so even when it’s busy, it doesn’t feel cramped.
You’ll find all the major Spanish and international brands here, as well as some really nice local stores with great design and surprisingly good quality. Whether you’re hunting for fashion, homeware, or electronics, there’s something for everyone.
I visited during the summer rebajas (sale season), and there were amazing deals to be found definitely the right time to go if you’re looking for bargains.
The food court is exactly what you’d expect from a large mall: lots of variety, from fast food to more sit-down options. Not gourmet, but perfect for a shopping break.
Bonaire is ideal if you want a full shopping day outside the city centre. Just wear comfortable shoes.
As this is a very big area, make sure to check the weather as it can be very hot.
