Center Point

This is possibly the most popular with Singaporeans in Batam. Some hotels like Holiday Inn WaterFront City even provide special shuttle services to this mall for their guests! This shopping mall is considered small when compared to others such as DC Mall. But because of this, it is easier to navigate and it actually makes the place seem more inviting as well. It has an interesting mix of shops, ranging from supermarket to eateries and hair salons.

DC Mall

DC Mall is one of the newer and larger malls in Batam which is probably constructed to cater to the tourist crowd from Singapore. Unfortunately, due to the closure of the casinos in February 2005, its development seems to have been affected and thus, probably about 35% of the shops are unoccupied as of April 2005. Due to the lack of tourist and the large area, the whole shopping mall has a feeling of being "very vacant".

There are some large clothing shops there selling factory outlet clothings from the likes of Esprit, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Fila. I am not sure if they are real or fakes though....
The clothing are usually about less than US$10 per piece.

Mega Mall

The Mega Mall is a new and huge shopping centre located just next to Batam's main ferry terminal at Batam Centre. Besides big department stalls such as Matahari and Hypermart supermarket, there are also many retails shops and restaurants here. You can drop by when you are at the ferry terminal (Singapore-Batam).
