Guilty from all that feasting (see our guide here) at the brand new Jewel Changi Airport Singapore? You might want to work it off with a heavy retail session in the same complex. From new kicks at Nike’s largest Southeast Asia store to thousands of locally-designed and produced merch at Naiise Iconic, here are the shops that make Jewel such a special shopping destination.

Tokyu Hands

A new corner also features pelvis correction products to straighten up your back and health.

MUJI’s first-ever duplex store in Singapore is a wonderland for lovers of the simple Japanese aesthetic.

Upstairs, the 88-seater Café&Meal MUJI overlooks the passing sky train!

The Better Toy Store

We’ve known The Better Toy Store since their early days, and we’re psyched that they’ve made it to Jewel.

Whether it’s musical boxes, jigsaw puzzles, dolls, or ride-ons, your child deserves the very best.

 Open daily 10am – 10pm.
