With the sudden cameo of dark skies and rainy afternoons, you might think summer is packing its bags. That intense, melting heat is finally trading places with a mellow breeze, followed by the first whispers of the upcoming monsoon.
But don’t swap your sunglasses for umbrellas just yet—because as Zara Larsson famously said, “Summer isn’t over yet.”
In fact, the perfect sun-drenched escape is waiting just a short drive north of Metro Manila. It is where a curated road trip seamlessly weaves together high-energy activities, mouthwatering dining, and premium lifestyle experiences across three major hubs: SM City La Union, SM City Clark, and SM City Pampanga.
Catching Coastal Vibes at SM City La Union
As a signature highlight of the “Gala To The Max” campaign, the Summer Mall Crawl successfully proved that a mall can be a vibrant summer destination in its own right. Offering far more than the usual predictable city escapes.
The journey kicked off with a wave of excitement at SM City La Union, situated just a stone’s throw away from San Juan—the undisputed Surfing Capital of the North. Visitors instantly soaked up the coastal energy during lively beach volleyball sessions at Sandbox. A dynamic outdoor activity zone located right beside the mall. To fuel the fun, a gastronomic adventure followed, featuring a delicious mix of local flavors. It is with the crowd-favorite dining spots that provided the ultimate refreshing escape.
Elevated Eats and Skyline Views at SM City Clark
From the sunny shores of La Union, the road trip rolled inward to the culinary heart of Pampanga. At SM City Clark, premium lifestyle experiences and upscale dining immediately took center stage.
Pro Tip: Don’t miss the rooftop views!
Guests were treated to breezy strolls through Skyline. The mall’s gorgeous open-air rooftop space designed specifically for leisure and movement. Afterward, the afternoon was spent indulging in highly sought-after dining concepts. Further solidifying Clark’s reputation as a top-tier foodie destination outside of Metro Manila.
Grand Finales and High-Energy Fun at SM City Pampanga
The ultimate northern road trip finally culminated at SM City Pampanga. It is where non-stop entertainment and immersive experiences brought the journey to a spectacular close.
