Genting Premium Outlet 2026: Stores, Hours & Getting There

Genting Highlands Premium Outlets is an open-air outlet mall at the Awana SkyWay base station, roughly an hour’s drive from KL. Most of its tenants are international fashion, sportswear and bag brands selling at outlet prices. My honest verdict: the Genting Premium Outlet is worth the trip for sportswear, kids’ gear and handbags, but less so if you are chasing deep cuts on luxury labels. Below I cover the brands worth your time, how to get there with or without a car, where to eat and how to stretch your ringgit further.

For the current store list and promotions, the official Premium Outlets Malaysia site is the source of truth. The whole mall is open-air and sits in the hills, so temperatures can drop to around 16-20°C with sudden fog or rain. Bring a light jacket and a foldable umbrella.

Is Genting Premium Outlet Worth It?

For the right shopper, yes. If you are already heading up to Genting with the family, the outlet is a very easy add-on since it sits right at the SkyWay base. Sportswear hunters tend to come out happiest, because the big athletic brands carry deep stock and frequently run “extra % off” promos on top of outlet pricing. Bags and accessories are another strong category, especially for gifts. Who should skip it? If you expect luxury pieces at half price, you will likely be disappointed. Discounts on premium labels tend to be modest and the selection leans towards past seasons. And if you are patient enough to wait for 11.11 or 12.12 online sales, you can sometimes match outlet prices without driving up the hill at all. Here is how the math usually works. Outlet stores commonly price goods somewhere around 30-50% below the regular retail tag, though this varies a lot by brand and season. So a pair of running shoes with a RM599 retail tag might land somewhere between RM300 and RM420 at the outlet. That is a solid saving, but only if your size is there. The trade-offs are real. Weekends get packed, the weather can turn wet within minutes, and popular sizes (think UK 8-9 for men’s shoes, or S and M in apparel) go fast. Plan around those and the trip pays for itself.

Best Brands and Stores at Genting Premium Outlet

The outlet’s tenant list changes over time, so treat this as a shortlist of the kind of stores worth prioritising and check the official store directory before you go. Every store below is inside the mall at the same address and generally follows mall hours of 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM daily.

1. Nike Factory Store

If you only have time for one store, I’d make it this one. Nike’s factory store is typically one of the largest and best-stocked shops in the mall, with whole walls of running shoes, training gear and a decent kids’ section. The real value tends to be in the “extra off” promos that pop up on selected racks, which can stack on top of the already-reduced outlet tag. The downside is the crowd. On Saturdays and public holidays, expect a queue to get in and a longer one at the cashier. Popular sizes and colourways sell out quickly, so if you have a specific shoe in mind, come on a weekday morning. If you are shopping for a new pair of runners, it helps to know your size and preferred model beforehand so you are not wandering the racks for an hour. Details: Inside Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, KM13, Genting Highlands, 69000 Pahang. Hours follow the mall, generally 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM daily. Most shoes fall roughly between RM150 and RM500 at outlet pricing. Nike Factory Store on Google Maps

2. Adidas Outlet

Adidas is the other big sportswear anchor, and for many families it is the stronger stop for kids. Matching tracksuits, small-size sneakers and school-friendly backpacks are the kind of things that move fast here. The lifestyle sneaker section (Samba, Gazelle, Superstar and similar silhouettes) is popular, but the trendiest models often don’t make it to outlet racks, so manage your expectations. Like Nike, it gets crowded on weekends, and fitting rooms can have a line. My tip: grab sizes first, try them on later, and put back what you don’t want. Details: Inside Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, KM13, Genting Highlands, 69000 Pahang. Generally 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM daily. Apparel roughly RM50-RM250, shoes roughly RM150-RM450.

3. Coach Outlet

Coach is usually the go-to stop for bag buyers and anyone shopping for a gift. The best value tends to be in wallets, card holders and crossbody bags, which are easier to justify than the bigger statement pieces. Be aware that much of the stock is made specifically for outlet stores, so it won’t be identical to what you see in KL’s flagship boutiques. That’s not a bad thing if you just want a good-quality bag at a lower price, but worth knowing. If your budget allows only one splurge, a classic wallet is the safer buy. Details: Inside Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, KM13, Genting Highlands, 69000 Pahang. Generally 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM daily. Small leather goods from roughly RM200, bags from roughly RM500 upwards. Coach Outlet on Google Maps

4. Skechers

Underrated one. Skechers is where you buy comfortable walking shoes for your parents and light-up kicks for the kids. Discounts aren’t dramatic, but “buy 2 get extra off” promos make it good value for families. Details: Inside Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, KM13, 69000 Genting Highlands, Pahang. Generally 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM daily. Roughly RM100-RM350. Skechers on Google Maps

5. Puma

Puma is the budget-friendly sportswear option. Basic tees, slides and sneakers can be very affordable, so it is a good stop if Nike and Adidas feel too crowded. Details: Inside Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, KM13, 69000 Genting Highlands, Pahang. Generally 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM daily. Roughly RM40-RM300. Puma on Google Maps

6. Levi’s

Levi’s is solid for wardrobe basics. Jeans and denim jackets are the main draw, and multi-buy deals are common. Know your fit (501, 511 and so on) before you go so you don’t spend half an hour in the fitting room. Details: Inside Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, KM13, 69000 Genting Highlands, Pahang. Generally 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM daily. Jeans roughly RM150-RM350. Levi’s on Google Maps

7. Samsonite

Samsonite is worth a look only if you actually need luggage. Older models can be noticeably cheaper than in city malls, but the discounts are modest, so skip it if you are just browsing. Details: Inside Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, KM13, 69000 Genting Highlands, Pahang. Generally 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM daily. Roughly RM400-RM1,500. Samsonite on Google Maps

8. Charles & Keith

Charles & Keith is decent for flats and small bags. The stock is mostly last-season, so the prices are friendly but don’t expect the current collection. Details: Inside Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, KM13, 69000 Genting Highlands, Pahang. Generally 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM daily. Roughly RM60-RM250. Charles & Keith on Google Maps

How to Get to Genting Premium Outlet

The outlet sits at the bottom of the Awana SkyWay, so it works naturally as the first or last stop of any Genting trip.

Mode	From	Approx. time	Approx. cost	Notes
Car	KL city centre	About 1 hour	Petrol, Karak Highway toll and parking	Expect heavy traffic on weekends and public holidays
Bus	KL Sentral or TBS	1-1.5 hours	Roughly RM10-RM20 one way	Book ahead on weekends
Grab	KL city centre	About 1 hour	Roughly RM70-RM120, surge pricing applies	Easy return pickup at the outlet
Awana SkyWay	SkyAvenue (hilltop)	About 10 minutes	Widely reported at around RM10 one way	Suspended during bad weather or maintenance

Driving from KL (and Where to Park)

From KL, take the Karak Highway (E8) towards Bentong and exit at the Genting Highlands interchange. Then follow the signs uphill towards Awana and Premium Outlets. It takes about an hour from the city centre on a clear day, but confirm jam on Sunday evenings, so plan to leave by 4pm. The outlet has its own paid multi-level car park, and rates are posted at the entrance and on the official site. On busy weekends the lower levels fill up early, so arrive before 11am or be ready to circle. The Genting road is winding and often foggy, so check your brakes and tyres before the trip and keep your headlights on.

Bus from KL Sentral or TBS

Express buses to Genting depart from KL Sentral and Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS), and many services stop at the Awana SkyWay terminal right next to the outlet. Fares are generally in the RM10-RM20 range one way, and the trip takes about 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic. You can check schedules and book through Resorts World Genting’s official site. Weekend and public holiday buses sell out, so book at least a few days ahead.

Awana SkyWay from Resorts World Genting

If you are already staying on the hilltop, ride the Awana SkyWay down from the SkyAvenue station to the Awana station at the outlet. The ride takes about 10 minutes, with a stop at Chin Swee Caves Temple along the way, and standard one-way tickets are widely reported at around RM10. Service can pause during heavy rain, lightning or scheduled maintenance, so check the Resorts World Genting site on the day. Details: Awana SkyWay Station, Genting Highlands, 69000 Pahang. Operating hours are generally around 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM, but check before you go. Awana SkyWay Station on Google Maps

Where to Eat at Genting Premium Outlet

The F&B line-up rotates over time, so check the official dining directory before you go. These are familiar chain names of the kind you can expect. All are inside the mall at KM13, Genting Highlands, and generally open within mall hours of 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM.

Outlet	Cuisine	Halal status	Price range	Good for	Map
McDonald’s	Fast food	Chain is JAKIM halal-certified in Malaysia; look for the certificate on display	RM12-RM25	Quick bite, kids	Maps
Starbucks	Coffee, pastries	Chain is JAKIM halal-certified in Malaysia; look for the certificate on display	RM12-RM25	Coffee break	Maps
Sushi King	Japanese	Chain is JAKIM halal-certified in Malaysia; look for the certificate on display	RM20-RM50	Family meal, hot ramen	Maps
Secret Recipe	Cakes, Western and local	Chain is JAKIM halal-certified in Malaysia; look for the certificate on display	RM15-RM40	Family meal, dessert	Maps
Tealive	Bubble tea	Check the certificate at the counter	RM8-RM15	Drinks on the go	Maps

Halal status can differ outlet by outlet, so if it matters to you, look for the certificate at the counter or search the outlet on the JAKIM halal portal. On a cold, misty afternoon, I’d go for something hot and soupy, so a bowl of ramen at Sushi King is my pick. If you just want to refuel between stores, grab a hot drink from Starbucks and keep moving.

Money-Saving Tips for Genting Premium Outlet

1. Join the VIP Shopper Club. Registration is free on the official Premium Outlets site, and members receive exclusive offers and coupons by email. Sign up before your trip, not at the cashier.
2. Foreign visitors, bring your passport. Tourist privilege offers, such as a coupon book or extra discounts at selected stores, have been widely reported at the Information Centre for foreign passport holders. Ask when you arrive.
3. Stack store promos with mall-wide sales. The best value comes when a store’s “extra % off” overlaps with a mall-wide sale. For example, a RM400 item at 30% off outlet price becomes RM280, and an extra 10% coupon takes it to RM252.
4. Check the deals page before you leave home. The official deals page and the outlet’s Facebook page list current store promos, so you can plan your route around them.
5. Compare prices on the spot. Open Shopee, Lazada or the brand’s own app while you shop. Sometimes the online price during a campaign beats the outlet tag, and then you can just walk away.
6. Set a budget before you go. Outlet psychology is real. Write a list of what you actually need and stick to it.

Best Time to Visit (and When to Avoid)

Weekday mornings are the sweet spot. Stores are freshly restocked, fitting rooms are empty and parking is easy. Try to arrive soon after 10am. Avoid weekends, public holidays and school holidays if you can, because traffic up the Karak and Genting roads backs up badly and the popular stores get queues. Check the Malaysian public holiday and school holiday calendars before locking in a date. The big mall-wide sales usually happen around year-end and the major festive seasons. They are great for deals but even more crowded. Keep an eye on the outlet’s Facebook page for exact dates, and if you are planning a year-end trip, it is a good time to tick off your Christmas gift shopping in one go.

Make It a Genting Day Trip

The outlet pairs nicely with a day up the hill. Here is a simple full-day plan:

• 10:00 AM: Arrive at the outlet and shop the sportswear and bag stores first while stock is fresh.
• 12:30 PM: Lunch at the outlet, then leave bulky shopping bags in your car.
• 1:30 PM: Ride the Awana SkyWay up to SkyAvenue for the theme park, indoor attractions or just the cooler air.
• 6:00 PM: Ride back down, do a final quick round of the outlet if you missed anything, then drive home before the evening jam.

If you prefer a half day, just do the outlet in the morning and head home after lunch. Families with young kids might find a full day tiring. In that case, an overnight stay at one of the hilltop hotels lets you split shopping and theme parks across two days without rushing.

Final Verdict

Genting Premium Outlet is best for families, sportswear hunters and anyone buying bags or gifts, especially if you are already heading up to Genting. It is not a luxury bargain bin, so set your expectations accordingly. My single most useful tip: go on a weekday morning, when stock is fullest and crowds are thinnest. Then ride the SkyWay up and make a proper day of it.
