Markets in El Arenal
Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands · 1 markets tracked
El Arenal, the beach resort on Mallorca's south coast also written S'Arenal, keeps one weekly market, and it sets up every Thursday morning. Around 25 stalls trade from 8am to 2pm, selling clothing, footwear and jewellery rather than food, which makes it a short and easy stop for anyone spending a week along Playa de Palma. German-speaking visitors will find the same Thursday market listed as the Markt in El Arenal.
Where to stay in El Arenal
El Arenal is a compact beach resort, so staying close to the seafront puts you within easy reach of everything. The Playa de Palma strip is your best base, with plenty of hotels right on the sand and a short walk to the local market action. The Hotel Riu Concordia is a reliable option if you want comfort and a central location.
If you prefer something a little quieter, look at staying toward the S'Arenal centre, where you can avoid the loudest parts of the resort while still getting around easily on foot or by bus.

Street markets in El Arenal
Thursday is the only market day in El Arenal. The stalls fill Plaza Mayor and spill into the streets around it from 8am, and the last of them pack away by 2pm, so this is a morning outing rather than an afternoon one. Trading is weighted towards clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, and jewellery, aimed at the resort's hotel guests as much as at the town.
Stalls take cash and contactless payments, and the site is wheelchair accessible throughout. The full listing, with the address and the current opening times, is on the page for street markets in this city. For official confirmation of authorised market days in the municipality, the Llucmajor council website publishes the list.
El Arenal has no municipal market hall of its own, so for indoor food halls and for markets trading on other days of the week you will need to look further afield across the province page, which covers everything running on Mallorca and the other islands.
What day is the market in El Arenal?
El Arenal's street market runs every Thursday, and Thursday is the only market day in the town. The stalls set up from 8am around Plaza Mayor and clear by 2pm, so plan the visit for the morning. There are around 25 of them, and no other market trades in El Arenal on any other day.
What can you buy at the El Arenal market?
El Arenal's Thursday market sells clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, and jewellery, not fresh food. Across its 25 or so stalls you'll find holiday clothes, sandals, bags and inexpensive accessories, so it suits a browse on the way back from the beach better than it suits a food shop.
Is there a market in S'Arenal, Mallorca?
Yes, S'Arenal is the same place as El Arenal, and its weekly street market runs on Thursday mornings around Plaza Mayor. Around 25 stalls trade from 8am to 2pm, selling clothing, footwear and jewellery. It is the only market listed in the town, which has no municipal market hall of its own.
