Let me tell you why I truly love SM Aura in Taguig. Spoiler alert: it’s not because of the fancy supermarket or the high-end shops — they’re honestly a bit too pricey for my taste.
What makes me come back to SM Aura again and again are the thoughtful, community-centered features that most malls overlook. Let me walk you through the little things that make a huge difference.
👶The Family Room: A Mom's Haven
I never noticed these rooms — until I became a mom.
Not every mall offers this kind of space, so I was genuinely relieved to discover that SM Aura has a Family Room. It’s a quiet, private space where you can care for your baby in peace, and best of all — it’s free to use. I didn’t ask whether dads can enter too, but the room is clearly designed for comfort and privacy. A big win for moms (and families) on the go!
🤝The Meeting Pods: Perfect for Students and Freelancers
Back in college, we'd scramble to find a decent spot for group work — usually a noisy food court or crowded café.
So imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon Meeting Pods at SM Aura! These open-style co-working spaces are fully equipped with sockets, lamp shades, tables, and cozy couches. Whether you're working on a project or just catching up with friends, it’s a quiet and well-thought-out alternative.
✅ Meeting Pod Etiquette
A few friendly reminders posted at the space:
- Share the space: Don't hog tables; be mindful of others waiting.
- Keep it peaceful: Avoid loud conversations and inappropriate language.
- Act professionally: No napping or lounging with feet up.
- Clean up: Use the trash bins and leave the place better than you found it.
📚The Book Nook: A Mini Library in the Mall
If you’re a bookworm, you’ll love the Book Nook at SM Aura. It’s a cozy, quiet corner where you can read, swap, or donate books. You never know what gem you might find — or who you might inspire by giving away a favorite read.
🚲Free Parking for Bikes & E-Bikes
This one’s a game-changer: SM Aura is the only mall I know of with free parking for bikes and e-bikes.
It’s conveniently located beside the Brittany Hotel, just before the mall’s car parking area. All you need is a valid ID — they’ll give you a numbered tag. Just don’t lose it! The guards are understandably strict (security first), but also very accommodating.
🏛️One-Stop Government Service Center
Running errands has never been easier. SM Aura houses several government agencies, making it a one-stop shop for documentation and services.
Here’s what you’ll find:
- Bureau of Immigration
- City Government of Taguig
- Land Registration Authority (LRA)
- Pag-IBIG Fund
- PhilHealth
- PHLPost
- Social Security System (SSS)
⏰ Office Hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
📍
Location: In front of the Brittany Hotel
💡 Pro tip: Go early! Lines form outside before the mall opens, especially on Mondays and Fridays.

🌿The Skypark: A Breath of Fresh Air
Up on the top floor is one of my favorite hidden gems — The Skypark.
It’s a landscaped garden space perfect for a relaxing stroll, playtime with kids, or just enjoying the view. In the middle of all the city buzz, it’s the kind of spot that makes you pause and breathe a little deeper.
🩺High-Precision Diagnostic Plus
This might seem random — but I had to include it! The High-Precision Diagnostic clinic here is modern, accessible, and efficient, not to mention cheaper. It’s great to know there’s quality medical support right inside the mall.

So no, I don’t come to SM Aura for shopping sprees or gourmet groceries. I come here because it feels like the mall gets me. It caters not just to consumers, but to families, students, workers, and everyday people who just want a place to be.
If you've experienced any of these features or discovered your own hidden gems at SM Aura or other malls, I’d love to hear about it. Let’s celebrate the spaces that quietly make our lives better. 💛
